Talk:The'Galin

Complete Rewrite needed?

 * Looking over the article as it currently exists, I'm finding numerous errors in grammar, spelling and accuracy. While I don't pretend to know the entirety of The'Galin's backstory, certain points of the article seem to contradict what's said in the game itself.  One of the most notable examples of this is found in the "Powers, Abilityes and Aspects" section, where it states that The'Galin feeds on fear and wishes to "separate the unity".  Aside from the grammar atrocities here, there's the matter of misrepresented intent.  To quote several lines from the "Final Battle" quest:
 * The'Galin: You are a persistent little wretch, aren't you? It is unfortunate all of creation cannot be more like you. It might have been of some value. It may have been worth saving. (said if alignment is strongly towards unity)
 * The'Galin: You are an annoying, loathsome insect, just like all other treacherous beasts that will sell themselves to the highest bidder. A greedy little worm. The very reason I uncreate. Uncreating you shall be a personal pleasure.(Said if alignment is strongly towards chaos)
 * Similarly, we have the problem of Omega's goals being equated with The'Galin's, when dialogue makes it clear that Cartwright is in fact defying The'Galin's intention (notably through refusing to report the signs of hope, Xilar's criticism of him, not to mention several alignment choices that basically spelled out the fact "You are no true servant of The`Galin nor anyone but yourself Cartwright. Even if I were to accept him I could never accept you.") In truth, the current incarnation of the article reads as if the writer was not entirely acquainted with the content he was writing about. I'm of the opinion that it needs to be rewritten by an "expert" on the matter.

''I agree that this page needs some updating. I would guess that the grammar is probably a result of the writer speaking English as a second language (Let's face it, it's incredibly confusing as far as languages go. So many irregular verbs!). I can see two main causes of content issues: 1. Including EVERYTHING ever said, regardless of whether it is later proved false or not and 2. (This can be attributed to the vast majority of the playerbase) Not making full use of available outside resources. Much of the Saga, including most character backstories, is told outside of the game itself, thus why so few are able to understand it. (Note to self: add list of links to the Storyline article.) I at least have gone just about all of said information and, finding out how very little the current ones say, am using it to write some very very long Sage-related character pages (If you're wondering how long "very very" is, check Giliara Celegra and Amilara Celegra). I'll add this to my list. (I am currently in the process of adding the mid-Jan to Sep 07 logs from the old Archive to the new one and I'm leaving for a 10-day vacation in Britain on Thursday, so I don't expect to finish quickly. I suppose I can write some on the plane.) Rhowena 07:21, 29 July 2008 (UTC)Rhowena ''

I know, while I was writing this page , I understood too few about The'Galin. We need to rewrite the stupidity I wrote using my writing skills.
