These are more difficult. Sometimes, I had to work backword from the name to get the result. #11 and 6 were particularly tricky. Better than Sudoku. OOOH, I've got a good one:
MT.
But Alorael is a "septuagenarian Korean businessman". So yeah, a cool old person.
Incidentally, what is the cutoff for "old"? I'm cool, I'm a person, but I'm not sure about the whole "old" thing.

Emperor Palpatine much? What about Hari Seldon? This is relatively common in Sci-Fi, just not in Fantasy.

Lack of capitalization points to Thuryl. I can't see him doing this, though. The culprit is probably Dikiyoba's stories.
Well then, if it has been so heavily debated, what is the answer? Obviously if "it is better to let it die in peace", then there must be an answer. Takers or Obeyers? Shapers or Rebels? Canisters or no? Was Litalia justified in releasing the Shredbugs on Astoria? What about the Unbound? I don't think it will ever be finished.

They can, and they did. Ever played the "Help Trajkov" ending?
Yeah, but sound like you're Hitler screaming at the masses something about him in a fake German accent. I can't even type his name without screaming at my monitor.
And because cat people don't, you know, exist. I believe that Terry Pratchett said something to the effect of
"There is no racism in a fantasy world, not because there are no races, but because specisism is much more interesting"
