Daniel Elswit
studied anthropology and archaeology as an undergraduate, and has a long-standing interest in past civilizations, especially the Pueblos of the American Southwest, and ancient Scotland.  A science fiction and fantasy fan as well, he enjoys imagining how archaeology might uncover the histories of other worlds.  To see some of Dan's photos of real archaeological sites, including several that are reminiscent of Stenn's simspaces, visit Dan's photography site at https://www.mistlightandstone.com.

Dan is also an avid tabletop game aficionado, and some of the early ideas for the world of Sellenria were influenced by a home-grown fantasy roleplaying world and the legends surrounding it. Dan has worked in IT at Cornell University for over 20 years.
