[quote=Thrydwulf] I'm gonna take full advantage of not having to be among the group at the start of the story by introducing a nefarious element to the plot. I imagine that will present some manner of villainy but I've always found that in a fantasy-based setting there is really no practical application for excessive opposition and I think introducing another villanous dynamic to the story will make it that much richer. I won't go in depth -- I imagine would want me to consult with her prior to any public extrapolation -- but it will be hinted at.Great reading so far everyone.
