Paul Westermeyer wrote the page. Maybe he can chip in and tell us. According to his write up the asteroid was given the name by Lady Mourne because: "...of the skilled bargaining of its previous owner, a scarred, ancient dwarven prospector who had finally accepted the asteroid held no gems or precious metals." His "Finagle" doesn't mention any gods and is a farming community, so it looks like this is just a coincidence. However, maybe Paul could use what you said to write something new about this community. :-) David "Big Mac" Shepheard Virtual Eclipse Role Playing Club http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/virtualeclipselrp/links/d20_system_001071937434/Spelljammer_001071430476 http://virtualeclipse.aboho.com/
