A Nineteen Year Story Arc...
... is finally reaching its' conclusion!
With the end of the Dan/Zem/s'Il saga coming into sight, and a request the other day from Holly, I am going to make a thread inventorying all of the stuff that pertains to Dan, Zem, and s'Il and their dreadfully long (and many times impossibly drawn out much farther than it should've been) tale.
So, here it is.
