I'm also asking about the Member Ranks. I reached the first six levels very quickly, but the distance between Journeyman Scribe and Adept Scribe is much longer. I wonder if there is any information on how many points it takes to reach each level? This Member Rank system is really fun though, and encourages you to be active here in GA.😎

Zdain "Are you sure this is a good idea?" Zdain Monteilon whispered to the blond boy, who beckoned him to follow. "I have nothing but good ideas," Josel replied, with a winning smile. Although Zdain felt a little leery, he couldn't resist that smile. He silently cursed his weakness for cute boys and crawled after Josel into the darkness. Earlier that morning, Andreuz Sandkan had told them that Zal and his comrades were to be questioned by the Great Council. The boys had immed

That's right, everyone is focusing on the wrong things. Dareis and Elyssa are only looking out for their own interests. The Blue Moon doesn't want to admit that Zal is right. And the Emperor does absolutely nothing. As a result, the Shadow Cross and far more dangerous forces are left to carry out their plans in peace.😬
-
@akascrubber Exactly. Zdain's parents are not nice people. But I'm having fun writing about them, so we'll meet Elyssa and Dareis again 😄 In the next chapter we're back at Castle Cache and Zdain is the narrator.

Elyssa Dimalos, Andiol Empire Elyssa Monteilon flicked back the strands of hair that had escaped behind her earlobe. A quick glance in the mirror told her everything was as it should be. The reflection showed a brown-haired woman, now in her forties, but still stunningly beautiful. Elyssa was wearing an open-necked light blue dress that accentuated the curves of her slim but feminine body. She used - or had used - only the best and most expensive tailors in Paidos and never compromis

Perhaps 😀 Certain elements belong in a fantasy story, even if they are sometimes a bit clichéd. I always try to advance the characters' own stories and the overall plot of the series at the same time.

@akascrubber Thank you for your comment. Franz has already had two dreams about the same mysterious tower. Maybe it means something 😨

"Yesterday we went into battle against the magikhans on the outskirts of the town of Dak Marga. We managed to kill those Darkurian witches - thanks to the ingenuity of Knobnose and Marl - but I fear we have been spotted. Now we'll have to sneak the rest of the way like a bunch of miserable outlaws. Yet we are still nowhere near Astray Mountains and our true destination. I am becoming increasingly sceptical whether this journey makes any sense. But I will not question Anden's leadership. The

@akascrubber Interesting observations. Renn is a person who is used to taking what he wants. So far, Zdain has shown us that he wants Josel - but what happens if he can't have Josel? Then there's the possibility that outside events could change the situation quite a bit.😬
-
@drsawzall @akascrubber Yeah. Poor Zdain😟 Let's hope his mistake doesn't have serious consequences. It's true that the castle's security may not be strong enough. A good point. Indeed. Zdain and Renn noticed each other. Hmm...🫣
-
Zdain When their destination finally came into view, Zdain Monteilon was somewhat disappointed. The huge structure known as Castle Cache, with its towers and the sunburst flags of Andiol fluttering in the air, was undeniably impressive. But it was more imposing and ugly than the ostentatious palace he had expected from Lugas Bahrall's description. It was a far cry from the beautiful Governor's Palace in Paidos, the only home Zdain had ever known. He had loved that house with all his he

😀There's a good reason why I don't know these characters: I'm from Northern Europe and we had completely different shows when I was a kid 😉
-
Thank you for information. Good to know this 👍
-
@drsawzall Quite an accurate picture! This is like fan art 😄 What cartoon or comic are they from? Good points from you. The Vargan's carefully laid plans can be compromised if they are overcome by a desire for revenge.

"Initially, I planned to gather talented people from all over the world, but in the end, most of them happened to be my own countrymen. I have no regrets; Dimalis are generally the most rational of the great nationalities. Does the absence of religion stimulate the kind of sense of reality that science requires? Malkanians, at least, are too full of their religion and their own excellence - Randalos' rantings sometimes bore me to tears. If his priestly highness were not so strong in Might,

@drsawzall Plink is clever, she knows the best time to ask Zdain for help to escape. Not too soon and not too late. @akascrubber That's true. On the other hand, Plink is also scheming enough woman to reveal Zdain's secret to Josel only when it's useful. We have no way of knowing how Josel would react to the revelation, but of course Zdain fears the worst.
-
Thank you for your comment. This book is slowly picking up speed. I can say that Five Hills and Castle Cache are the culmination of the plot of this book. We'll see what happens to the boys there😎

Josel Boghead, Andiol Empire Josel was starting to feel that the dull life on board was not for him. He was plagued by constant inactivity, interrupted only by meals or occasional watches in the cargo hold. The steep cliffs and the Gusty Mountains looming in the distance had been left behind. After that the landscape had become more serene. The flow of the Frothy had slowed down and the banks had flattened out. In its shallows, both shore plants and waterfowl were thriving. The dark

@akascrubber Bartos doesn't really miss Zdain. They barely know each other. @drsawzall True, especially when you're young and therefore inexperienced in relationships, things can easily go wrong. Thank you for your comments.

Bartos The Central Trade Route, Andiol Empire "You should leave her alone. She's clearly shown that she's not interested in you," Bartos said to the boy riding beside him. "What gave you the idea that I am interested in her?" Darren asked innocently. "I'm not blind," Bartos snorted. He looked in the direction of Danae, who was riding ahead of them. Bartos was certainly no fool either, he had seen all the looks that Darren had been shooting at Danae. In fact, Bartos was a li

@drsawzall Yes, there are a lot of people. Not all the major characters have even arrived on stage yet 😜 @RainbowPhoenixWI Thank you so much 🥰 I'll try my best, though this translation work in particular is sometimes quite tricky.
-
@akascrubber @RainbowPhoenixWI Exactly. Plink can be devious, but would she lie about something like that? Let's see how the situation develops, I'm afraid I can't reveal any more yet🫡 In the next chapter we'll see what Bartos, Darren and Danae are up to. They also have a role to play in this story, although they have not been seen much so far.
-
Good speculation, I like that! When Zal and the others captured Plink, she admitted to being on the payroll of the Shadow Cross. Whether that is the whole truth will be revealed in time. Plink seemed to be the type of character who is ultimately loyal only to herself (and her little brother). I know what you mean, I have read a lot of Drizzt stories too 😃

"After the port town of Witth Bja, we have been staring at an empty road. Here in Darkuria, the wasteland is swept by a dusty wind and the fields are covered with thistles or jagged rocks. There are no forests, only sparse thickets that smell of danger. Whenever we stop, we are met with hostile glances from the locals. Ikarr Knobnose calls them asswipes, and I do not disagree. We do not approach the Darkurians; we just keep going. None of us seven like this place, but then again, we are not
