Please read this; it is rather important.
Everything in these pages, from art and graphics, to names, plots and ideas are copyrighted Silvestris 1997-2004, or to other respective creators where so stated.
The concept is all © Silvestris.
You may NOT take anything from this site and post, copy or reproduce elsewhere. I mean this. I'm very serious when it comes to my Pangaea-related stuff. We're talking big, expensive lawsuits here - none of us really want that, do we?
The Art: is not free clip-art, whether it's made by me or the other artists. I'm very liberal with letting you use my other art over at www.silvestris.net, so if you're looking for an avatar picture, you can most likely get away with picking one there. The art here is hands-off.
The Characters: I made 'em up, they belong to me. That's what 'copyright' means. Since great minds think alike, I understand more people than I may have thought up similar ones, but if you claim to have had a character named 'Rylerion' or 'Dashkarisna' that you thought up all by yourself, I will get very suspicios. Leave the names and concepts alone; that goes for characters, countries, plots and everything else.
The Story: The concept/story/ideas/cultures/characters/plots etc - yes, they are copyrighted, too. And thousands of visitors to this site know they belong to me, so I will find out if they get stolen - plus I have those same thousands of visitors to back me up on it. So leave it all alone. Okay?
Copyright: To read more about what copyright is, and how it really works, go to this nice, short and comprehensive page: 10 big myths about Copyright explained.
Sorry to sound like a bitch, but I want to cover all eventualities. Now it's all here, in plain writing, so if someone ignores common curtsey and nicks my stuff anyway, they only have themselves to blame when I send my lawyer over to talk business. Hah.
