[QUOTE="Hammerhead, post: 6609085, member: 73"] My mind first rebelled against the idea of no elves, halflings, and dwarves...weren't Ernie and Flicker the iconic halflings of 1e/3e? And wasn't Kibi the one and only dwarven wizard of the setting (kinda)? Dropping elves, well, Kay and GW were only half elves, and it's not like their heritage, well, THEIR racial heritage at least, figured into the story much. But then I figured that it's not like Ernie needs to be a halfling to be the short, nice, bully-hating hero from a quiet town where nothing bad ever happens. And Flicker, assuming he makes the cut into the story (sad as it is, I could actually see him not showing up in the book :( ), could also be changed into a normal human without much difficulty. And Kibi doesn't need to be a dwarf to practice some strange Wild Earth Magic that no one's ever seen before, although Kibi is pretty much a dwarf's dwarf, except that he's a wizard instead of a warrior...and it'd give you the chance to really differentiate Kibi's Earth Magic from everyone else's Air Magic. I figure the Orcs probably get called Kesh full-time, but are largely unchanged as the evil, allied-to-the-Emperor humanoid race (maybe with some long lost Adversary connection?). And Dranko still gets to be part Kesh, if you wanted to (his background doesn't demand that, just that he's unwanted). Cool to hear that there's a Book Two in the works as well. Part One would be what, 3-4 books? You'd have the initial conscription and mysterious errands in Book One, leading to the Colossus and the Future is Written in Water (one of the best lines/prophecies in the game). Book Two would be the journey across the Uncrossable Sea and the Crosser's Maze. Book Three could be all about betraying GW :D. And Book Four could be all the events leading up to the Battle of Verdshane, the epic battle, the victory celebration, and the rug getting yanked out from under everyone's feet. Though my instincts say that maybe Three and Four might be a little sparse, depending on what gets focused on. I just hope you stick with the writing long enough for all of us to find out :).
