Actally, I meant that in 7.5 there was no mention of any destruction of
Britannia that would have occurred in UW2. Now realistically, this is probably
because both games were under construction at the same time (more or less) and
by different people, but there wasn't even a throwaway line (like say, having
LB say in the dreamworld of u7.5 that Britannia was REALLY going to hell with
two major cataclysms in less than a year).

I think by 9 Big Red is going to be tired of fooling around with the Avatar
and will start getting down to some serious combat. I mean, she/he/we/me
thwarted his plans in three adventures and then reached nigh-god stats in the
forth. If the Guardian doesn't get personally involved soon, the Avatar will
soon outclass Big Red.
