Not a big deal but on the 'construct temple' page (EconomyTemples.php?Action=NewTemple) it refers to my character as 'Marquess' but as a male I think it should be Margrave.
QuoteAs the Marquess of Giask, you can order the construction of a new temple belonging to your faith Cult of Bloodmoon.
Bloody hell. I thought all those references were wiped out years ago...

The word "marquess" is unusual in English, ending in "-ess" but referring to a male and not a female. A woman with the rank of a marquess, or the wife of a marquess, is a marchioness in the United Kingdom, or a marquise elsewhere in Europe. Margrave is a title peculiar to the Holy Roman Empire, similar to a Marcher Lord and Marquess, but with more political autonomy.

And this confusion is exactly why I changed the title from Marquess/Marchioness to Margrave/Margravine. It's much less confusing as to gender (while also being English, not French).
Oh yeah, i remember that argument...
