Crossroads of Dereth once maintained a list of quotes from former developer Chris "Stormwaltz" L'Etoile. These quotes held some valuable tidbits of lore from AC's early years. CoD's database has since been lost, but a majority of the quotes have been archived on here.

In addition, in early 2004 AC Warcry conducted a three part interview with Stormwaltz. You can view it here:
