Noah: Finally I have a little time on my hands and can post on some of this.

Who knows how many different texts are mixed up in there, or if all the fragments came from one source? Who burned it? Why? Philip IV is the most likely candidate, but what was he trying to hide? My guess is it implicated his family in the death of Alexander, and more besides.

It seems that someone found a copy of Ikulu's Correspondence to Philip, King of Macedon and quoted it in a larger text. This is something I've always wondered about, though. If the Myconids had the letter, it would suggest that it was left behind and never sent. Apparently, somehow, this is not so.

Apparently, someone has written a biography of Ikulu. Must not have been very popular.

The Greeks apparently confused some bad dude with Prometheus, meaning that Mbana may have possibly been after some fiend, and not the boon-giver of mankind. Habogad also alluded to this, but in a cryptic fashion. He may have more to tell us yet.

It's suggested here that Alexander's body was not Alexander's body, but another that had been preserved. Eorl, to his credit, had made this prediction. After all, Alexander was not a saint.

Furthermore, if there were any doubts that Aramin was also known as Stratobia, they should be here be dispelled.

That's all I've got. Other folks?

"Some bad dude" may well be Zimilgrim of Mari, a defiler. The description fits.
