Thanks! I am glad it made sense. Though I did not explain it thoroughly as I should have.

Thank you for this idea! I will need to play it out and tweak it.  It would like make it more understandable to the reader if they saw the outcome and is able to pinpoint how it happened with kragvora…[Read more]

Your idea is mostly correct, though I was hoping to avoid…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy @obrian-of-the-surface-world

Thank you for the great advice! It definitely helped. The most common themes and words I have noticed so far are dawn, knights, hope, and champions.

A few ideas I thought of so far: The Rising of Valor, The Fight for Hope, From Desolation to Hope, The Call for the Valiant, The Valiant Few, and The…[Read more]
