I suppose so. I left it ambiguous so it would be interpreted that way.
I just saw a chance for a quick little crossover of two stories, and seized it.
That is correct. Van der Zruyk's crew is fairly multinational anyway, although most are Metti.

Indeed...
Thlay, any sort of ETA, or should we just bear with you for the time being? It's well worth the wait, but I'm curious.

The ETA for the update is 2 days. I've decided to write it in story form, so it might take a little longer, but it should be more interesting.

Having worked through the night, I've almost finished the update. It'll definitely be up tomorrow.
I'm leaving on Friday for France, and will be gone from the 21st to the 30th. During that time, NK will be in charge of this thread, as well as his own. He'll be doing the second update for Epoch of Glory.
When NK's gone for the first 2 weeks of August, I'll be in charge of both threads. That means I'll be doing Excelsior's 4th update, and probably the 5th as well.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there are a lot of fantastic nations still open. Also, if players want to join as one of the 3 major Guilds (or invent a minor guild and try to take power,) they can.
PM me if you have ideas, questions, or want more information.

All of a sudden I felt like posting the link that brought you to all the spoilers for the book.

Luckily, I'm getting the book about 5 hours before my plane leaves. 
@jalapeno: I will.

The majority of those leaks conflict and are horribly inaccurate, so I wouldn't worry in any case.

Spoil the book for me and you're kicked out of the NES.
Just FYI.

OOC: Personally speaking, you would be rather idiotic to believe any leaks for the same reasons nylan said. You're of course free to do so if you wish.
The Coasts of Elesius
Steven Hawkesbury, covered with coal dust and soot, leaned heavily on his shovel. A heavily-tarnished porthole showed that the sun had finally sunk before the horizon.
"Azim?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know where we're going?"
"According to Zruyk, 'to see an old friend'."
"Yeah, but who and where-"
"Elesius." interjected Jan Mieken, a heavyset brown-haired man with specks of grey scattered through his stubble. "And our good captain is visituing Erich Bos. An old friend of his, I believe."
"Zruyk has friends?" questioned Steven. His eyes quickly darted around to make sure that the man didn't burst in, as he had a disconcerting tendency to do.
"Familiarity breeds contempt." commented Azim, "The captain only sees Bos once every few years."
Jan gave the Hadiran man an odd look, then resumed speaking.
"I wouldn't even call him a friend. The crazy old man has too much money for his own good, and Zruyk is kind enough to drain off the excess now and then. You should see what the man will pay for some products from back home."
"So, how far is it to Elius-"
"Elesius." Azim corrected, though his voice was drowned out by the creaking of a door. Robert Van der Zruyk stepped into the room.
"Ey! On the engines. We're coming into harbour and the currents here are hell."
"Yes sir, we were-"
"Hawkesbury! Two moons boy, less talking. More shoveling!"
The three sailors quickly went back to the boilers. Zruyk chewed on his pipe for a moment, giving them a suspicious look, then stepped back through the door and climbed back to the deck.

OOC: Iggy, you have an uncanny ability to place yourself in the perfect spot for a tie-in. This will be twice now, if all works well.

Gosica. Mr. (or rather, Captain) Ulrich is due for a stop in Elesius.
