(the .5 deduction comes from the lack of a guide to pronunciation of the title.
"Tea-Re-Oh" or is it "Ta-Re-Oh" or "T'ree-Oh" or....)
Thanks! Very glad you like it!

I don't have a copy of the book yet, but in my manuscript the pronunciation is discussed in the first paragraph that follows the opening story:

"the T'reo (Ta-REE-o) School can hold as many terrors as wonders!"

How does the dragon get out and about? (I.e. which of the doors are double doors that open eight feet wide?)

Come on, you expect me to remember what I read in the preamble before I try to make jests at fantasy world place names?
Seriously I am just a dork that thinks he's funny sometimes.
Again, great book. Best product in the TFT line up so far IMHO

Am I the only person happy to see Yzor officially part of Cidri after 45 years? Now we only need to work in Flavius.

I thought Yzor was baked in right from Wizard’s release in ‘78.

It depends on how you interpret his first appearance. He was in the original Wizard which predated Cidri/In the Labyrinth and therefore does not explicitly make him part of Cidri. The original Wizard was presented as a war game/magic system for rpgs without specific ties to a given world. Note that in Melee Falvius is a Roman centurion and Wulf is a German barbarian so we can't assume the samples are automatically part of Cidri.

Thanks! I'd wanted to write it since I read the Wizard vignette in 1978...

There's more Yzor in the upcoming PATH OF MASTERY solo, as you get to interact with him if you opt to join one of the school clubs
he's in, or get Aronnen as a mentor during the term.
