This was supposed to go into way more detail, of course, but Oberan needed to duck out for RL stuff. He told me he wouldn't be coming back for a while, and I'm not a fan of sitting around waiting. So, gonna wrap this up myself, I hope the last two posts do the job well enough. Lemme know if they do, and thanks!
