Hello.
       I just want to point out a few things concerning what we have been 
talking about.
       It might sound like I'm being needlessly technical, but I'd like to 
point out that, according to C.S. Lewis himself, the Chronicles of Narnia are 
NOT  allegory.  He said that an allegory has a one-to-one corrospondence with 
all of its components.  The Chronicles do not have that one-to-one 
corrospondence; rather, they are more of a story with parrallels (I think the 
example he used was how a smell of a flower can remind us of another place, so 
Aslan and the other parallels are to remind us of Christ and other things).
       Another thing we must remember when looking at the story of DragonRaid 
is that it is (I think?) a allegory.  If EdenAgain is to represent Earth, the 
Overlord Jesus, DCs sin, etc., then Earth does not need to be in the story.  
Now, the real question is, can you maintain the allegory of DR and still have 
some connection with Earth?
