Hey, Ronan. First, have fun your senior year! It should definitely be a cool experience! ;D
Second, I'd be interested in reading what you have done so far. (Seems like you have a pretty ambitious plan: best of luck in carrying it through!!)
My Email is RGentile@PHCS.com.

Incidentally of course, Principalin is the Magnakai Rank 6 title. If it really does mean what you have suggested, where does Paladin come from then? I'd expect Benelin or Honorian or something like that. NS. Paladin was the name of Pippin's father in Lord of the Rings (well, the movie version, anyway). Take from that what you will. You could always ask Gygax, I guess....

(But Principalin is not so easy to track down. Principal is an existing word. In German, a Principalin would be a female Principal. A female pipe organ perhaps? ;D)

Whoa, way too fast people. Okay let's take this one step at a time... WinterWolf ~ I am so glad that you enjoyed them! I am working on the third installment now but unfortunately it is coming along fairly slowly. I am working 40 hours a week so it is hard to find time. North Star ~ Huh, I didn't realize that. Maybe it just subconsciously arose in my mind when I was first creating the series. I'm not sure where paladin comes from. ShadowD ~ Thank you, I am sure that it will be a great year. I have alot of hard classes but I am not worried about them at all. Most are language arts classes and I have never had too much difficulty in those. I have sent them both to the email addy you have provided. Reginald ~ I should and check to see if it mentions 'Paladin' in the book series. Thomas ~ Interesting......

As the above-linked article says, 'paladin' is an established term for, basically, a 'palace knight'. 'Principalin', on the other hand, I don't think I've encountered outside LW. I'd hazard a guess that it's just a cool title that Joe Dever based on 'principal' (itself both an adjective and a title for, typically, the head staff member of a school). This actually fits quite well with other ranks like 'Mentora' (from 'mentor') and 'Tutelary' (a real word for a protective spirit, but connotes a link to 'tutor', which actually derives from the same Latin root). On this basis, one could work out a hierarchy of responsibilities among Kai Masters...

The Prophecy of Teague (Written circa MS 4000)
Though they flourish in greatness now, The sons of the Magi shall surely die. A great war will plague the surrounding lands, A desert empire’s flurry, rein down from the sky.
The mountain land shall offer no aid, For her allegiance will lie within another. The winters will darken and lengthen, And golden summers become shorter.
A boy will born, fate tied to the Wolf, At birth his true name denied. Though born with promise and power, His destiny will be to die.
Though his death will be terrible, And his life filled with hardship. He shall save all that is Dessi, From chain, sword, and whip.
Look for the day of this young warrior, Pray for it when the darkness seams great. For only he can bring the Magi out of the dark, And relieve it of its burden and weight.
^ This is the prophecy of the 'Savior' that is mentioned a few times throughout the series. Nifty eh?

I have started my own forum at alasirelivaur.proboards15.com/index.cgi which is a Lone Wolf fan site but it's main focus is on my series. I feel as if my fan-fiction shouldn't be advertized if you will on the Project Aon Forum as it doesn't relate to it directly. So in courtesy of PAFs I have created this site. Feel free to sign up!
