Sorry, my black
I was in a hurry and thought about the title of this thread instead of your post. What I wanted to write was that Valentinov is not very well suited for this thread as his secret/crypto (which basicly mean the same, I was "word blind" and tried to explain too much, which sometimes happens with me) histories aren't alternative history, as most of the historical events he is describing actually happened (OK, the "dhars" probably weren't present, but who knows
).
