Good one, Dasur. Pretty cool write up, bud. Quite fascinating. I'd love to read the book that continues the story of 'What happened to Dasur?' and 'What becomes of the King and Queen's child?' </p>
<p>Man there's an awesome story to be told in there somewhere. Maybe 3 novels worth. Fun! :) </p>
<p>Enjoyed it, all! We'll keep an eye on the recruit thread for sure. Outside of that, it's been fun and y'all be good!</p>

With artistic uses of the stone craft skills she had time to explore at times in this adventure, she would create something worthy of Snorri.

<p>For the two major NPCs I'm torn. What the story needs is for Iverna to become a sort of ambassador to the svirfneblin and bring them into the sphere of influence of Dammerhall. But over time she has become more of a Daryl Dixon. I wonder if she would be better off being giving some dwarven treasure as a reward and heading off into the wilderness.</p>
<p>Erebos is similarly dualistic. On the one hand, his dreams were to conquer his homeland with a dwarven army, but I can also see him tiring of all the scheming and becoming something simple like a librarian. He aspired to martial greatness, but surely his experience fighting alongside such martial beasts as you guys are would convince him that was not his destiny.</p>Epilogues can be as simple or complicated as you want.
