Hi Scout i have acouple of questions for you mostly about the Kamigawa cycle. My first and most imporant question is Did Umezawa Go to ravinca? what plan did he go to it seemed like Rav to me, but my friends say otherwise.
A FS Question Is Radha still a PlanseWalker or did she loser he Spark entierly, and his Karn dead or just lost in time?

Nope, he ended up in Dominaria, in southern Jamuraa I believe.

I believe the Fat Pack booklet that lists what happened to all the Dominaria time rifts states that Jeska exhausted Radha's spark on the Zhalfirin and Yavimaya rifts.

I believe somewhere in this thread you said that your Keldon names come from Viking/Old Norse so that they have a rougher, more guttural sound to them. In the Dragons of Magic anthology, where did the name "Kavalex" come from? I believe Kavalex was a Covetous Dragon that had been killed by a blue dragon named Skouras?

Jace was an awesome character and the neo-walkers seem like they will be a good concept given what I read in Agents of Artifice.
Hello again Mr. McG.
Is there any additional information about the leviathan planeswalker Bolas dueled?
Thank you.
The duel is only mentioned in Future Sight and that's all that's been printed so far. I can't give any real specific details about the duel itself because my notebooks are full of cool but contradictory notes that I jotted down while I was working on the books--but I can say it was conceived and presented as Dominaria's version of the ancient, epic battle stories you see in many earth-based mythologies (like the big throwdown between the Greek gods vs. the Titans or the Norse gods' Ragnorak). That led me to think about what sort of creature could go toe-to-toe with an Elder Dragon Legend planeswalker and co-punch a hole in the Multiverse (the answer, of course, is an Elder Leviathan Legend planeswalker), which in turn led me to jot down such things as "giant python-cobra vs. whale" "raw magic, no spells" and "leviathan=more brute power, bolas=deadlier, bolas wins"

The answers posted by our fellow posters are correct, but let me confirm: Toshi Umezawa want to Madara on Dominaria. He's never been to Ravnica in any of my books, but Ravnica does have a cameo in Future Sight (Leshrac and Bolas swing by during their duel).
Radha's spark is burned out, forever dormant, both from Jeska's actions in Future Sight and Radha's powerful connection to Keld--in other words, she's lost the ability to planeswalk, but that doesn't matter to her because she'd never leave Dominaria by choice (much less train herself and work hard to achieve the ability to leave).
It was Madara, not Madras. It's still kind of unclear where exactly Madara is, but I think it's probably somewhere on Jamuraa..
Okay, bear with me: the precise location of Madara and the nearby islands was never officially determined when I wrote Legends II--we mapped out the region but never placed the region itself on the larger map/globe. It was definitely meant to be off the coast of Southern Jamuraa, and I can tell you generally where I imagined it--it's to the east of the Bay of Pearls, past that southern point of land and north a bit, southeast from the southeast coast. I don't have a map image handy that shows the Bay of Pearls by name, so...using this map for reference...
See the big red circle in the middle? Go southeast across that landmass until you hit the point where the big landmass almost touches another big landmass further east. I would place Madara below the point where those two landmasses almost touch, about halfway down the coastline to the westernmost landmass. It's not the small island pictured on this map (I don't think Madara is large enough to show clearly on this map), but that's generally where I thought it sat.
I believe somewhere in this thread you said that your Keldon names come from Viking/Old Norse so that they have a rougher, more guttural sound to them.

A lot of the Keldon names I used in those stories were derived from Viking/Old Norse style names, but not all. Some were derived from Gaelic/Celtic, some came from Apache, some from Ancient Greece, and some I just plain made up. Kavalex is one of the latter, I'm afraid: I toyed around with different sounds until I came up with something I liked.
Kavalex was meant to be a Covetous Dragon (not the one on the actual card, but definitely the same kind of dragon), though, so you are dead right about that. For the record, "Skouras" came from Greece and "Knarr" is definitely a Viking-style name.

I enjoyed the Lorwyn book but some of it left me a bit confused.
Any particular reason the Yews have died out (or have they just stopped becoming "awake")? Was Colfenor "killed" by the fires of Ashling and the unnamed fire elemental? Why was Teeg willing to conspire with Colfenor; what was Teeg getting out of the deal? Why did Teeg try to have Brigid kill Rhys?

In Lorwyn & Morningtide, we have the giant sibling trio:
Rosheen Meanderer
Brion Stoutarm
Kiel ???
Giants apparently don't have family names for last names. Rosheen's last name is given in the books. I don't think Brion's or Kiel's is ever given though, but we know Brion's from his card.
So my questions:
1) What is Kiel's last name?
2) Given Brion's card, if Kiel and Rosheen got cards what would they look like?

Radha still has her spark, but it's been completely shattered. It's essentially useless now--not that Radha really seemed to care.

On behalf of CJH and I, we're very glad you liked Lorwyn...but sorry, we have nothing to say on the subject of Maralen at this time.

Good question about Karn. Wish I had an answer...
