So he'll be King Zelesheneth. And he's evil. Which makes sense since that name is a name I came up with for one of Fyora & Calgar's children that later goes back in time under the name Tezelenesh and is one of the four greater demons of Chaos, and Calgar's personal nemesis. It's a crazy circle, but it'd be totally awesome if he was okay with me doing it. It like...screams future-istic time travel spliced soap opera.
Anyway, I wonder what the Epitome should look like... Perhaps it should actually be a tree? Or maybe it changes forms! Depending on the person's needs, it may have braille, or it may show pictures (for the illiterate), or it may be a talking tree!
But it also has to be a little book, so the protagonist can carry it away.
