This story is the one I use to get people interested in the Otherness Saga. I'd love to here more about Rasalom's rise as a dark wizard, his murder of The Seven, and his servitude to the Otherness. I think the character, being so evil, is perfect at being exposed more with another book. While I normally hate when a character is exposed too much, I feel he deserves a better fleshing out of his early past. Glaeken, and even Jack, would be served so better if we knew WHAT Rasalom was before he became what he is.

The modern day equivalent is the Septimus Order's council...except today, in this age, magic is far less prevalent/powerful...and Rasalom is still the one.

I need to re-read By The Sword, some is in there when Glaeken talks to Jack about the first age. The rest has been revealed here and there on the board, on various, diverse threads, over the last few years.
