I've decided to tackle my big Forgotten Realms fan fiction project in a bit different way than I had originally intended. If anyone is familiar with the Sembia: Gateway to the Realms series, it begins with several short stories about the main characters within the series, followed by books that focus on each character, the most notable being Erevis Cale. I've decided to begin in a similar fashion. Prior to the first story of what I've termed the Darksong Chronicles, I'm going to write a few short stories about the big players within the series. And so it begins, as I state in the title of this post. As I write this, I've begun work on the first in a series of short stories that I'm collectively calling "The Darksong Chronicles: Blood and Silver". Things will kick off with a story involving a rather important character, Amaranth Selunel (admittedly inspired by a powerful NPC in my first D&D campaign way back when. It made a huge impression on me). So look forward to it! I hope to have it posted in the next few weeks.

-Stay Shiny,
