Did we build this site because we think Adrael is the most amazing thing on the planet?Not at all. We know Adrael is full of flaws, some of which we hope to fix... but we know, even with improvements, it'll never be more than a decent fan Age. With this site, we're only hoping to give interested people a look at what's involved in a project of Adrael's size, and to encourage other agebuilders to take on group projects.Is this site all about self-promotion?Not really. In fact, you don't need to read any further on this page unless you're interested in the specifics of exactly who did what in the currently-available version of the DRA Office/Adrael. The smaller credit book at the Age's end already offers a cursory overview of the participants involved.

- Worked extensively with D'Lanor on gameplay coding
- Performed the integration of all the assets created by other modelers above...an enormous undertaking
D'Lanor:
- Coding and programming for the great majority of Adrael's puzzles and game assets, a massive effort requiring over 8000 lines of code for the Adrael age alone
