So I've decided that I'd like to write something more than an aimless story without a sequel. I want to try my hand at writing an actually short story.. perhaps a novel, although I doubt I can manage to write something that long which remains interesting. I have many ideas, however I've never before tried to peice them all together, so this will be my experiment.

This tale takes place in the realm of Vaildra, let me give you a brief overview:

Recently, a great war has ended. It had consumed the entire land of Vaildra, all the known world had been trapped within it's burning embrace. This war has been called "The Purge" by the people in power. Rather fitting, given the entire purpose of the conflict.. although you will have to read a bit in order to discover what exactly the purpose was.

The current Emperor is somewhat senile and terribly superstitious, and as such, he has made a certain religion mandatory. This is not overly probelmatic to the people of Vaildra, for most of them believe in it already, and those who do not simply pretend to believe and practice their own religions in secret.

Much of the world is as yet uncharted and unexplored. Many places on the map are blank... or so the people are lead to believe. There are darker secrets, and frightening powers at work in the world, and thought very few know of them, most can feel their presence.

Anyway, while that may not be much, that's all I feel like typing out right now. If you want to know more, then read the stories as I post them, chapter by chapter. As of now all I have completed is the prologue, although I will most likely be making adjustments to it before I'm happy enough with it to place it on this website.

That's all I have to update right now I suppose. Hopefully I can get the prologue up sometime later today. I hope you will enjoy it when (if) you read it!
