Any specific subject you would like to be seen written?

In the next version we'll bring out a many books, but I'm interested in what the public would like to read, so I can start creating them right away!

For me personally religious and historical books which will help people better understand the history of YLiakum and the importance of religion within the game. This is just my personal opinion.

I would very much like to see written
A settings explanation of the history and function of glyphs.  Questions that puzzle me include:
Talad gave the glyphs as a gift to the created races of yliakum, right? Or did the God give the glyphs to his created race, the kran? If kran, than wouldn't kran be the only npcs who wouldhave an endless supply of gyphs to give to questers? They occur in nature: why do glyphs then not spawn in various locations, to be found by the persistent hunters? If they spawn in nature, wouldn't the npc who gives them out have to be located at the place they spawn? How did the various pre-history magicks, before the magick wars, become subsumed into six ways of such distinct natures? from  (The history of magick books are great btw).

Once glyphs are in the possession of qualified, trained adequately, mages, how do they become 'purified' to that person? What is the process of purification? If you sell or steal a glyph, and you aren't a mage of adequate training level, how is it possible for you to even use it?  Why must they be touched and or held at all if the purification process attunes them to the user's skills and energy?

Do glyphs ever die? If the magick is eternal wouldn't glyphs be handed down as rare and valuable possessions? Or much more the target of robbers and power mongers? What happens to one's glyphs if you die of old age and or are sent to the crystal? Would the God allow his own creation to be 'burned up' by the Azure sun in such a case?  Is there any conjecture as to why Talad created glyphs as the gift to his race? Did Laanx have any hand in creating glyphs? Have any of the other goddesses/gods learned to make glyphs?

I have one more suggestion for a book, but this is my start, on "all things considered: glyphs"! Thanks if you decide to tackle this!

I'd like to know more about the political history, and previous wars of Yilakum. Particularly the Enki-Ylian war. Religious books would also be fun. One thing that PS is lacking are stories we can draw from. Almost all the books are formal, educational books. History is most often pieced together from written experiences, not necessarily the text books of the era. We look to shakespeare for insight into the 16th century, and the Canterbury Tales for insight into the 14th century. Even in fiction, we know more about the Lord of the Rings universe, because the Lord of the Rings is a story, not a timeline. Narratives give us far more of an insight into a culture than a book of facts ever will. Timelines, facts, and dates are certainly interesting, and very useful, but to know a culture, a history, a place, you have to live it. Narratives give us the one of the best tools we have to do so.
