Well, I will definitely keep my eyes open. Ak'anon sounds like a good bet
for locating the solution. I HOPE we don't have to search every inch of
water in Norrath ! Perhaps it is the 3rd book that they found. It might have
been lost in the water of Ak'anon, kind of like how the One Ring was lost in
the river Anduin. We just have to be as clever as Smeagol in finding it. )
