A man and a cloaked woman confront a high, ominous, gabled Gothic house, beside a road in darkness.

In recent years, a tall figure in shattered grey armour has been seen wandering the Road Where The Silent Ones Walk. It is not known if this is a True Human — scholars continue to debate. But he has become known to all as The Seeker.

In an inelegant manner, I have added a Skip Nav link to the very top of the page. This is so people using screenreaders can easily get to the main page content without having to listen to the menu read out repeatedly. The link is black, in small text, and not very visible to the sighted, but if you're tabbing through the page links, or mouse over it, it will light up.

I might get around to doing it in a less inelegant manner someday. Then again, I might not.

I have new hardware, which is going to make some of the site work a lot easier. First, I now have enough screen space for the more demanding updates. Second, I now can see the squirrelly way the CSS is behaving on a tablet browser, which means there's some chance I'll get it fixed. (It doesn't show the same error on any desktop browser with reduced window size.)

I was hoping to do some more J-Wildfire work on the said new hardware, but the font size in the interface won't enlarge to the point where I can avoid eyestrain headaches. So probably not much more flame-fractal-based artwork is forthcoming in the immediate future.
