No, self, you're forgetting the dragon in _Taltos_, which talked
in all caps.  Not only that, you're forgetting whether they were
italicized or not.

Present company excepted, of course.  And I take it this isn't the
right misquotation to correct?

As Ken Stone noted, we should leave it to the boss.  In fact, we
have no choice.  But as Steven uses italics for both communication
with Loiosh and psionic communication, I'll be very surprised if
he doesn't use it for communication with a Great Weapon.

Of course, if you enjoy imagining what font would be perfect for
Teldra, you're right not to let me stop you.  I wasn't even trying
to stop you.
