I want to be a Lord.

Lord Kinross, that name kicks ass. That's a sweet NPC name. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.

The book I am reading is so dry, it's almost just a timeline. I guess it will be a good primer to reading some more Ottoman history.

Gao Qi and I were at the MET in New York a couple of years ago, and they had a large collection of Ottoman stuff. I really wish I would have had a clue at the time.
