Elan (Order Of The Stick)
''The Order of the Stick'' (''OOTS'') is a comedic webcomic that satirizes tabletop role-playing games and medieval fantasy. The comic is written and drawn by Rich Burlew, who illustrates the comic in a stick figure style. Taking place in a magical world that loosely operates by the rules of the Editions of Dungeons & Dragons#Dungeons & Dragons v3.5, 3.5 edition of the role-playing game ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D''), the comic follows the sometimes farcical exploits of six adventurers as they strive to save the world from an evil Lich (Dungeons & Dragons), lich Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons), sorcerer. Much of the comic's humor stems from the characters' awareness of the game rules that affect their lives or from having anachronism, anachronistic knowledge of modern culture.

Afon Elan
is a tributary of the River Wye which runs through the wide expanse of upland moors, traditionally known as Elenydd, in central Wales. Its valley is the Elan Valley. The name probably arises from ''elain'' meaning 'hind' or 'fawn' in reference perhaps to the rushing, bounding nature of its course. It has its source in wet moorland on the eastern flank of Pen y Deunant in Ceredigion. It is joined by Nant Dderwen, Nant Cwta and Nant Hirin before entering the top of the Elan Valley Reservoirs at Craig Goch Dam, Craig Goch Reservoir which in turn discharges to Garreg-ddu Reservoir and then Caban-coch Reservoir. It emerges from this chain of reservoirs in a north-easterly direction and passes through Elan Village before turning south-east after 2 miles and making its confluence with the River Wye.Ordnance Survey 1:25,000 scale Explorer map sheets 200 ''Llandrindod Wells & Elan Valley'' and 214 ''Llanidloes & Newtown'' References Elenydd Rivers of Ceredigion, Elan Riv ...
