Blind Guardian - Battlefield Kamelot - Epilogue My list is very, very short!

It sounds like they're in a bit of a mess.

I'm fully intending to support but I have very little spare cash this month; luckily the campaign runs beyond payday so I should be fine to chip in on the 25th. Unfortunately I don't have a large circle of likeminded friends who I can pass this onto, but I will do my best regardless :)

I don't understand patriotism / nationalism myself (it was nothing but chance that dictated I was born on the part of the world we humans call England, so why should I feel some superficial attachment to - or worse, pride on being a member of - the purely social construct of a 'nation'?), so if...

I remember Thomas' face when we started chanting 'Fourth Legacy' back in London quite a few years back, prior to Khan's abandonment. It came across as 'how dare you ask for that song? It's way too old!', although I'm pretty sure that probably wasn't what he meant to convey! But yeah, stale...
