How likely will we get remakes of the rest of the Weatherlight crew? Specifically Starke, Orim, Rofellos, Crovax (pre-curse/Evincar), and/or Takara?

I assume it will happen eventually.

I'd like to formally register my request for a new card in a Commander product for my favorite Weatherlight member, Starke.

I’m happy for any new Weatherlight Saga cards.

Will we be getting a new Tangarth???! In recent times we’ve gotten Sisay, Mirri, Karn, Hanna, Multani, Squee.... The only recent reprints we don’t have are: Orim Ertai Crovax Rofellos Starke il-vec Please say maybe!!!

You forgot a few: Volrarh, Greven, Selena, Barrin, Eladamri, Maraxus.And Takara and Lyna still don’t have cards.Oh, and… maybe. : )

My 30th birthday is this weekend, and, like I ask for every year, could you give some trivia you've never shared before about the original Weatherlight saga? Thanks!

In an earlier version of the story Volrath boards the Weatherlight disguised not as Takara (Starke’s daughter) but as Tahngarth. Happy Birthday!

"(It was Volrath, shapechanged as Tahngarth.)" I thought it was as Takara, Starke's daughter?

That was the published story not the original story.

Birthday trivia! Could I get something on my favourite member of the Weatherlight crew, Tahngarth?

In the original storyline, shapeshifter Volrath comes aboard the Weatherlight not disguised as Takara (Starke’s daughter) but as Tahngarth. We were asked to change it because the higher ups thought it was a mistake to lose Tahngarth. Happy Birthday!

Who comprised the crew of the Weatherlight (including past crew members like Jhoira)?

Characters who at one time or another were on the Weatherlight crew: Gerrard
Sisay
Tahngarth
Karn
Hanna
Squee
Crovax
Mirri
Orim
Ertai
Starke
Rofellos Jhoira was apparently a former captain but that was something done outside of my work on the story. Teferi also, it seems, was on the crew at one point.

Without necessarily going into the behind the scenes *why* of what all happened, can you give us some idea of what the Weatherlight story was supposed to go? I know of some hints, like it being the mutated Tarngarth that was really Volrath in disguise (as opposed to Takara), what else was changed?

A lot changed from the original story Michael Ryan and I originally pitched. A lot! We were in control through Stronghold and then things started deviating radically in Exodus. Really from that point on it was a completely different story. I should note that Michael and I originally wanted Volrath to hide aboard the ship as Tahngarth but enough people liked Tahngarth internally that Michael and I changed it to Takara (Starke’s daughter). Note that in our story Volrath hiding out on the Weatherlight was a much bigger part of the story. Maybe one day I’ll get permission to tell our version of the Weatherlight Saga story.

I have to ask: what made the character Starke mono-Red?

His motivation was not selfish but for the welfare of his daughter Takara. He also had a tendency to let his emotions get the better of him.

Out of all the Weatherlight characters excluding the main crew which would you have liked to see have more face time? I think Starke of Rath would have been interesting to flesh out more.

I think Selenia deserved more face time (what in my Hollywood days I would call “screen time”). I also loved writing for Greven il-Vec.
