So I got a Cease and Desist from Wizards of the Coast this morning, turns out the Library is massive breach of copyright. We need to edit all the material here to remove any restricting material- names of gods, places yanked out the work within three days.
For example, Waterdeep = bad, Sandshallow = okay.
(yes, they actually suggested that to me)

Re: URGENT
Do we have any lawyers familiar with copyright law? I would think that we could defend the library as fair use, and that WotC is just participating in its usual nonsense. Not a terribly uncommon tactic for large/obnoxious companies to claim copyright infringement even if they know it won't hold up.
Especially when the servers are in... like... France?

Re: URGENT
Zelknolf furiously scripts a KOS loop to constantly run on all servers and specifically target any Adanu character.
