Before the Dark Times and The Beforetimes are nigh-identical, yet don't reference one another. That leads me to believe that the second one wase just plain made without someone knowing the other existed.

I made this Before the Dark Times because it has fewer wicks (18), but The Beforetimes only has 27 so it's not like there's a major difference. If we cut one, I think Before the Dark Times is the better name.

So yeah. This seems like a straightforward merge. Any objections?

Aye, merge.

We don't need justice when we can forgive. We don't need tolerance when we can love.

The Beforetimes seems to focus more on what they call it, but other than that, I can't really spot any significant differences from Before the Dark Times. Merge.

I'm not opposed to the merge. If I knew which name it was going to be merged under, I'd like to sandbox the description; bit of a rewrite since each description phrases some things better than the other.

Merge, and possibly combine the descriptions.

Before the Dark Times sounds more descriptive, so I vote for that name to stay.

Agreed.
