When I am dead, I hope it is said;

I wholly agree with your gripe points, esp. #6 (ooh, look at the pretty red clouds!). As to #4, I heard an alternative take on it, not 'raish' as a name, but 'rahz' as in 'the demon of Ra'. Of course, that's totally mucking the mythos (an egyptian god who's got a persian follower, wot?).

And I don't think I was the one who made the ascribed comment. Not that I dont' agree, but don't think it war me.
