* The two spellings for Arnwylf: I originally spelled his name 'Arnwylf' but then a did a deeper search and discovered the use of the 'y' made his name feminine. His name literally meant 'she-wolf of the mountain'. Well, I didn't like the spelling for the masculine which is 'wulf' Arnwulf just sounded strange to me. So in the first release of The Last Elf of Lanis, I spelled his name 'Arnwelf'. Which was okay, except that he was always 'Arnwylf' in my mind. As I began the sequel, The Archer from Kipleth, the original spelling just came back to me. It's just the way his name should be spelt.
