Making W. D. Fard a secret agent of Yakub is absolutely wicked, ditto with combining him with John of Patmos' visions. (Definitely a bit of looping-around here--Yakub and the Horned King seem to have shared views on the feminine principle and the underpinnings of all life on this planet. Quite literally a white devil!)
-Bringing Yakub into this is a crazy move. Do the female principle and the spark of god have something in common or does Yakub just loathe each of them seperatley?
-I was always wondering how the fuck John of Patmos got canonized in the bible. Dude went into the desert sun, went crazy, they wrote down all his ravings and added it to the end of the New Testament like it actually fits there (which it doesn't). And now American christians somehow base their entire faith around it. This comes from an inactive German Lutheran, by the way. My granddad was a (rather conservative, by German post-war standards) pastor. Who learned his trade in a POW-camp in England. Long and complicated family history, that one.
-Been to Monolithos and calling it sleepy is giving the life of the place quite some credit. I can however very much imagine the coast there to be riddled with the caves necessary for a bond-villain-like lair.
-Are you going to do all of the Mediterranean points of interest one by one? I love this whole project.

Fard is actually a classic Call of Cthulhu type character and I was glad to be able to work him into this. Surprising it hasn't been done before.
Alright, some thoughts:
