True enough, and here we might think Jack capable of that rare UPPPER CASE flourish, not as acronym (omitting punctuation) but as one more quirk and caper to the texture of his prose.


=========================


: The lexicon says nothing about IOUN standing for anything. Says they are floating, fiery, variously shaped magical gems about the size of small plums. They were mined from nests of black dust at the edge of nothingness, and were considered by the archveults to be the brain-eggs of fire-folk living within stars.
