He's put on weight since then.

Did anyone else find the moongate in the etherial void in UW2 that takes
you directly to the throne room?

Ummm... U7.5 was _after_ UW2 AFAIK.

I would be surprised if the guardian actually destroys somewhere
physically. Perhaps he will go so far as to eliminate all those who
oppose him (such as those you saw in the ice world and in Praector
Loth's tomb in UW2).

Wouldn't it be more satisfying for the guardian to subvert the
principles of a world and bring the Avatar into a Britannia that
despises him?  Hmmm... this actually could tie in quite well with the
fellowship in U7.
