Re: Pact-makers and Witches list
The term "Dyvalians" has appeared in the book which I think is far more appropriate to label its residents, which can include humans. I think the religion was called Dyvag, too. The chronicles also indicate that "Dyval", the realm's name, was that of the Supreme Lord prior to Sa...

Re: Odd Gemstone Question
He said flawless, that means a gem that has no inclusions so it is solid all the way thru with no blemishes. A facet is a flat surface on the well surface, of the gem. The refracted lights in side are from the surface cuts. There's a neat Wikipedia article on it.
