The artist featured himself on the cover of Tribes of the Heartless
Wastes, along with renditions of Rich Baker and Ed Stark.

Apparently.

Rich did say that Ed was the 'flaming head on a stick' to which Ed
replied 'well, Rich is the big, white, furry lizard'.

In actuality, I _think_ that Tony is the Vos guy (any or all of
them), while Ed and Rich are the two dead/dying Brecht chaps. I might
have that wrong, of course.

On the cover of Cities of the Sun, there's an inscription on the front warrior's shield in Arabic that reads "Mada'in al-Shams" and means "Cities of the Sun".

Anybody else got any BR trivia? :)

If the Birthright cover artist (I'm not gonna spell his name here because
I can't) can have the sense to pick up an Arabian dictionary to enhance
his cover art, then why the couldn't the designers of the Rjurik Highlands
get themselves a Norse and/or Swedish dictionary to make up some good
domain names? I mean, that can't be too hard? Just make up some cool
names in English and then translate em - literally if you have to.
Perhaps an idea for the list, to make up new names for the Rjurik area?

So who is who? Which of the characters on the cover is Rich, which is
Ed and which is Tony? Any idea?
