[QUOTE="William Ronald, post: 1075185, member: 426"] Edena, I sent you an e-mail with a few suggestions on how to make this a manageable process. As this is not an expansion into a novel, but a summary of parts of the IRs there are a few ways to handle it. I think a series of short stories would be appropriate. For example, the 1st IR can be divided between the period before and after the Karsus Avatar spell was cast by the elves of Evermeet. A further way to break it down would be to make the collapse of the last truce the start of a new story. So, maybe two to three stories. The 2nd IR could be broken into the Trial of the Chosen and the War FOR Toril, where former foes fought back-to-back to save their world. The 3rd IR could be broken into stories based on turns. This would make it quite manageable. A series of stories makes sense on another level. There were very few characters who were truly unifying elements in a narrative sense. Forrester and Reprisal provide this role to a certain extent, but as a single story it would perhaps be a bit difficult. (In the case of Reprisal, the characters changed from Ian Payne to Erika LeSage, so that is another narrative issue.) Edena, check your e-mail for a few more suggestions. [/QUOTE]
