NOIMYDNE???????????????

Oh c'mon. It's Endymion spelled backwards and it is still phonetically

How about...hmmm...Terradyne?  Hmm..maybe not.

who rejected Metallia is very interesting...also the idea that the
"Generals" willingly turned evil is another nice touch.

I agree on both parts. 

Just think Christopher. If he reincarnates in part 1, his modern name
can be Neirad. <g>

Nightman

She smiled. "Your wish has been granted, Camille Vidan."*
