Right! I forgot about DA5. I bet that's it. My impression from the brief bits in the article was that the chronicles would revise the traditional BM places (Totf, the dungeon, CotG, and maybe Comeback Inn?) in some sort of "chronicle" story arc. I'd guess that Dave invented Uther as a dues ex machina of the story. It would be fascinating to know what Dave originally had in mind.
