OK, I'm confused.  Please help.  Is this extra content for buying the book a separate thing from the add on that comes for owning a license for EWoM prior to <whatever the date was>?  How many "specials" does EWoM have going on out there?  Whats the least expensive way to get them? Is it too late for the book?  i need to get a life!

And now that I have actually finished the book, I realize how stupid it would be to be able to play Tandis... during the war of magic, especially... *facepalm*

If your sovereign is basicly immortal the game wont be much fun I think... But yeah you are right, it is the other characters that shouldn't be playable if you take the timeline seriously.
