Ruthia is actually the Goddess of Luck. Important to thieves, but not
as important as Ban-ath, the God of Thieves.

i just kinda noticed that you referred to ruthia as patron goddess not
directly a divine being for thieves.

ergo, i must say that i need glasses. (again)
how are you coming up with the books eh? doing a little research around
apparently we get the paperbacks a bit late here and they dont usually
order old copies of the books. so if anyone in the philippines who
check the ng once in a while, please email me if you find copies of
silverthorn, a darkness at sethanon, and the rest of the serpentwar
saga books except for rage of a demon king.

It used to be easier to find US books in PI, but then the US had bases
there and a lot of locals could use the base exchanges. I know
importing them is expensive, but can you catch a break bringing them up
from Australia via amazon.au?

I was under the impression the last time I was DownUnder that some
trade things were in the works that would have cut duties on things
like books fro Oz to PI.

As yet, there is no amazon.au, but you can order books from Australian
online bookshops like <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.galaxybooks.com.au" target="_blank">www.galaxybooks.com.au</a> <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.bookworm.com.au" target="_blank">www.bookworm.com.au</a> or
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.dymocks.com.au" target="_blank">www.dymocks.com.au</a>

Both Bookworm and Dymock's have Silverthorn. Surprisingly, Galaxy doesn't
list Silverthorn but has a range of other Midkemia books. For paperbacks,
the postage to Asia looks about the same as the price of the book with
Bookworm looking cheaper than Dymock's on price and postage. I haven't used
any of these online services.

I guess it would be best to compare with Amazon.com to see what's cheapest
taking exchange rates into account.
