A/N: Treat this whole chapter as an Author's Note. Since its not really a chapie, I don't think it needs a discalimer, but if so, consiter it disclaimed. But whatever,I was feeling really random when I wrote this, so if my levity offends you, or will cause you to cause me bodily harm, then don't read it. It's not that important. Just an extra.

The Almighty Chapter of Background Information! Yay!

Well, you guys asked for it….

THE ALMIGHTY CHAPTER OF BACKGROUND INFORMATION!

(Henceforth called chapter 3.5)

This chapter is dedicated especially to Godsgirl16 who requested more info. In general, it is dedicated to everyone who had reviewed any of my fics. Thanks guys, you make a little backwater hick happy.

Ok. One Wish takes place in the fall, about three years or so after ROTG. This makes it in the middle of Page. That's about year 455 H.E.? Maybe? I dunno. That or thereabouts.

Daine and Numair are not as of yet married. Else she would have been Daine Salmalin. (Which I always manage to type "Slamalin"…)

Daine is 19, and Numair is 33. Jolly. Right-o.

Ok, the important part… Daine was killed fighting Le Folks from Scanra, and various other Immortals. By a hurrok, actually. Because this is AU, you can pick: Either everyone is blissfully ignorant of Kel & Co. (Some would say that's for the best…) or Kel never existed. She stayed in Yaman, or whatever. That means no Roald & Shinko, too. Sorry. And just because I need to get Numair outtta Tortall, Blayce and his cronies died peacefully in their sleep one spring morning after collapsing in a field of flowers. Or whatever happy scenarios you care to concoct. So there was no magic mumbo-jumbo, no real, pressing need for Numair. There were no killing machines, no Kel, Dom and friends venturing into Scanra. King Maggur still exists, but he's gonna be sorta OOC. You can figure that out. (Hey, his name comes out "mugger" in spellcheck!)

Another thing. If you like Kalasin & Kaddar being together, this is not the fic for you. I'm sorry. I happen to like both of them, just not together. This story will take another twist….

It also happens to include the country Jindazhen. Which I do not own. Tammy does. According to Kel, it's a country west of the Yamani Isles. Quote: "If it isn't Scanra, it's Jindazhen in the west," Kel p 136 of Page, paperback US version. If you want to look it up, for every other copy else it's towards the middle/end of chapter eight, where Kel is talking to Wyldon.

Ok, also since I'm being so random, I have to say that the title "One Wish" reminds me terribly of the Manga/Anime "One Piece." Blah.

Ok, if anyone has anymore questions about One Wish, email me, or put them in your review. I'll put them up here, in this chappie.

Jolly!
