In the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Ygorl is the Slaad Lord of Entropy. He is the second oldest slaad lord, after Ssendam, and is considered the de-facto ruler of Outer Plane of Limbo. He is said to have created the Spawning Stone that is the focus of the slaad race, forcing them to take froglike forms rather than their original, purely chaotic shapes.
Description
Ygorl appears as a blackened, bat-winged, skeletal hulk, wielding a large scythe. He rides a great wyrm brass dragon named Shkiv. As one of the exemplars of the alignment, Ygorl is not truly evil, but still very dangerous, unpredictable, and self-serving. He believes in bringing death, decay, and disorganization to the multiverse, and thinks this is best done by the slaadi, the truest agents of Chaos.
Relationships
Ygorl considers the slaadi to be his living pawns. They do not serve him in any organized fashion, but most will obey his orders rather than allow him to devour them. Besides Shkiv, Ygorl is allied with Sorel, his lieutenant, who he is grooming to become the Lord of Anarchy.
Ygorl ignores Ssendam and fears Rennbuu. He enjoys the company of Chourst, at least at times.
The "entropic reapers" from Libris Mortis are said to arise in Limbo to "enforce the twisted edicts of chaotic beings that decree the death of lawful creatures." They are not explicitly connected to Ygorl, but they are connected to the force of entropy and the plane of Limbo.
Realm
Ygorl's fortress in Limbo constantly changes appearance; it can be a rough cavern, a shattered marbled temple, or (as the 1st edition Manual of the Planes describes it) a series of interlaced carved spheres that whirl through Limbo's layers.
Creative origins
Ygorl was created by Charles Stross for the Fiend Folio (1981). Ygorl had small parts in the anthologies Tales of the Outer Planes (1988) and Tales From the Infinite Staircase (1998).
Ygorl in other media
Ygorl appeared as the final boss in the video game Demon Stone where he was voiced by Michael Clarke Duncan. In the game he was depicted as humanoid in appearance but was covered in tough chitinous armor and had many claw-like mandibles extending from the back of his head. It remains to be seen if Ygorl will return from death to once more wreak havoc.

The Royal Standard of England in Forty Green claims to have evolved from an Anglo-Saxon alehouse. The pub sits in a quiet backwater that was settled by Saxons granted lands after serving in the Roman Legions. Saxons were great ale drinkers. The Roman Emperor Julian (331-363) called them "sons of malt" Julian_the_Apostate With the later Danish invasions the word "ale" came into the English language from the Danish "öl" and the English drank ale as their everyday beverage.
The ale-wife or brewer's domestic dwelling became the local alehouse (eala-hus). The alehouse became a meeting place for the cottagers in the hamlet to settle local disputes or arrange mutual work within the community or strip farming. By common law a man could keep an alehouse without a license and for over a thousand years the pub managed to survive closure from the local parish authorities, the King's laws or Parliamentary Acts over the centuries until finally getting a license in 1839. All of whom existed after the alehouse was there.
The Royal Standard of England won Best Sunday Lunch of the Year 2007 in the National Publican Food Awards and Pub Food Champion of the Year 2007
The Pub also won Best Food Pub in the Chiltern District 2006-2007

:For other meanings, see Foxy.
Foxie is advertised as a Internet Explorer shell, meaning it uses the Trident rendering engine used in Internet Explorer, its stated purpose is to "bridge the gap between Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox" essentially installing a selected set of Firefox features that work on top of Internet Explorer instead of installing an entirely new browser. The name probably derives from a merging of Firefox and IE, a popular acronym for Internet Explorer.
However it appears that the Foxie project, with its unclear origins, is probably a trojan horse that infects the computer with malware.
Currently, Foxie is known to carry dangerous malware, and installing it could cause damage to a user's computer. Visiting its web site (www.getfoxie.com or foxi.com) is also not advisable.
Malware issues
The latest version of Foxie appears to be carrying a trojan horse in the form of the Security Firewall. There have been several reported instances of computers being infected with malware after downloading and installing Foxie, these seem to mainly involve having pop-ups appear frequently while browsing while using either Firefox or Internet Explorer. In some cases users have reported having to reinstall Windows
The infection has been identified as
Since the infected release download.com has removed foxie from its site.
The infected release raises issues about the origins of the foxie system, and the team that developed it. There is no community page or "about us" page on the website, there is no mention of any affiliated company or corporate sponsor, nor of any team names or a sourceforge page. There appears to be no source only release.
These suggest that the Foxie package is simply a trojan horse project designed to get the trust of a sizable user base and then infect the Malware.
There is nothing that entirely rules out the possibility of the Malware being an accidental package included at some point; however, the whole project looks highly suspect.
Features with proposed browser system
Notwithstanding the malware issues, these are the advertised features of Foxie:
*Tabbed browsing
*AdBlocker
*Desktop search
*Firewall (based upon the PeerGuardian project
*FlashBlock (a blocker for flash webpage elements)
*Infinity Button for finding random websites
*added Keyboard shortcuts
*Cache cleaner for privacy
*Advanced Search bar
*HTTP header blocking for privacy
*Swift sweeper for scanning and removing malware
Limitations with proposed browser system
Notwithstanding the malware issues, these are the limitations with the proposed Trident shell:
Most notably there is no plugin system that is a defining point for Firefox's success, since foxie isn't actually an application in itself and is more realistically thought of as a plugin for Internet Explorer, it would involve developing an entirely different system to the one currently implemented in Firefox. This is probably thought of as unnecessary by most users and developers, especially since implementing a one-click system of plugins as available to Firefox users would be more difficult in a shell than a full application.
Related to that is the fact that the extensive plugin environment for Firefox now allows it to act as an almost complete Internet Explorer shell through the use of such plugins as IE tab.
Foxie will only run on a system that has Internet Explorer, so essentially only on Microsoft Windows systems, or a well emulated Windows system. Naturally there have been no ports of Foxie itself to other systems due to the inherent redundancy.
Since Foxie uses the same underlying engine for interpreting web content as Internet Explorer, Foxie does not answer the issues that free software and web standards advocates have with Internet Explorer.
