Merchant Prince, a Dryden shrine by Sarah-neko that was listed on Anipike (now defunct) and accessed through the Wayback Machine.

Check out the link, you can (sort of) navigate the old webpage! Most of the links are dead but some parts of the site are still accessible.

They even wrote a fic of Dryden and Sylvie the mermaid!

Oh my Gaddes!

Another shrine by Sarah-neko that was listed on Anipike (now defunct) and accessed through the Wayback Machine.

I love the DIY aesthetic of all the banners and icons of these sites and I always find myself reading the content on these anime shrines. That 10 pt Verdana font looks so minuscule though!! It's usually how they discovered the series and why they like (are obsessed with) the character. She even put a quote from the DVD commentary:

'I personally like supporting roles, such as Gaddes. He seems to be the most human among the characters on the Crusade. Having a character like that around really adds depth to the drama. There's something dependable about him. Kind of like, when you have him around, even if things get depressing around him, he knows how to liven things up. There's something very human about the Crusade because of what he brings to it. I like that.' - Kimitoshi Yamane, Mechanical Animation Director, Tenkuu no Escaflowne.

Also, there's interesting info about Reeden and his family's business in Pallas. This was apparently from the drama CD Thought of Jeture.

Anyway, the site is archived and is still navigable!
