Your characterization of Sola is excellent, I think. It makes me like that drow even more now, and I have been his fan even before I loaded the Solaufein mod :love:

Just to think about him bathing in a river... :rolleyes:

Great new chapter, thinkinc! I'm hoping this will not be a short, after all. :) It would be cruel if it was! And I've got to agree that the way you portray Solaufein is excellent. Keep writing... I'm sure I'm not the only one interested in reading more!! ^_^

Through lightning, travel shadow,
Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love

And in the end a witness,
To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

While you're waiting.... how about finishing your own story?

Pleaaassseeeee? :wub:

hehe. I will, i intend to, sorry for sitting on it for so long. Real life's a bitch sometimes.

thinkinc, great chapter and I just love the way you write Sola. He seems almost real to me. This is one story I'll definitely be following up. Cheers..

*Stops for a moment to take a deep breath*

The latest chapter really was breathtaking. Thank you for it. Only thing I wish now is that you develope some kind of unnatural speed for writing more of this :D

I was almost drooling halfway through :wub:

absolutely quality. i haven't played with Sola so i don't know whether your writing is canonical or not but i have played with Haer and you do write him very well.

can't wait for the next installments.

Thanks again for all your continuing encouragement! I'm so glad you all like my Sola characterization.

Let me know what you think of my more in-depth backstory for Anomen. I am nixing his sister from the story, because I didn't think it was necessary. There will be other problems he will have with the Order.

Hopefully, this will help to better explain why Anomen acts like such a pompous ass so often.

ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!!

i feel sorry for Anomen! i understand what drives his arrogance and the whole foolishness of him! ohmygodohmygod!

dude, you rule :)

oooooh, but i do have an issue with the use of the word 'baptised'. i'm not up on my d&d lore, but were any god's followers baptised? at least in the way we see it (the christian thing)?

I'm honestly not sure about that, yet. I couldn't find anything in the canon about that, so I just kind of... uh... made it up. I couldn't think of a better word for it. I'm here to take suggestions, if you've got 'em.

yay, new chapter. and its very well-written as always. I like how you express Anomen's thoughts and your reasoning for his character, its very well-done.

One thing puzzled me though, who's Elise supposed to be? If its Anomen's mother, she had a name, Morella i think. :P Don't mind me, I still love your story.

Ah, thanks for telling me. I looked and looked for her name and couldn't find it, and short of playing the game over, I just made it up.

Wonderful job with Anomen. You made me really want to take him on in the next game :D

Keep it up and coming, I shall read every new chapter with enthusiasm.

The drow and tiefling pairing was wonderfully done. I enjoyed the scenes very much. Really good!

Is it true that Tieflings don't dream? Or did you make up this very nice detail? Just curious (I'm not canonical :))

Anomen...oh well...poor boy. Pompous, arrogant and yet, some of us cannot help but love his golden, righteous heart especially when it begins to show.

So where's the next chapter? Will Solaufein return only to find Haer'Dalis missing because the tiefling didn't trust the drow's luck? Will Edwin face inqusition?

Very good and joyous read :)

EDIT: Anomen's mother was called Moirala, by the way. ;)

Nice story :) :thumb: Cas'ira sounds very much like one of my characters too, and that made Kelsey's demise even more amusing and relate-to-able. *chuckles*

Where did you get the drow from, by the way? I love drow anything, but I don't know exactly what all the drow phrases were, and would love to know if there is a drow-english/english-drow dictionary/phrasebook that I have missed all these years.

Please finish it off! :)
