I cannot put into words how much better this news makes me feel about 4e novels. Maybe it should not affect my overall view of 4e novels coming up, but it does!

Since Paul said there's a possibility that the 2012 release would change, then we can still hope.... |

From everything I’m seeing/hearing, it looks like Godborn, book one of The Cycle of Night (my next trilogy in the Forgotten Realms) will be released in mid-2012. That’s a long time and I’m sorry about that.
I have no explanation for this (I had been led to believe that mid-2011 was the target release date) and with all the recent changes at WotC, I don’t expect to have one for some time. But I wanted to throw up a post since I get a couple emails per week asking about Godborn’s release date.
If and when I get more information (or if the 2012 date changes, which is a possibility, I suppose), I’ll let you all know.
Thanks for letting us know...
It will be a long wait for 2012.

They are characters from the Twilight War trilogy, particularly the last book Shadowrealm.
Thanks. I guess it is time to reread that trilogy |

Nah. He was merely going to change them to Grey Slaad, but then he pondered how they would merely have a hunger to evolve again, so he decided to save them the time and evolve them to their final form so that they would not feel the need to evolve anymore and could merely enjoy their lives. etc
But then again, White and Black Slaadi are exceedingly rare, especially the final Black. A Black Slaadi's power eclipses that of an ancient dragon of any color, and only 2 are known to have existed. |

Good old Death Slaad.
I still found it curious that in the books, the Sojourner thought they would only be happy if they transformed to the "Final" phase of Slaad, a deatn slaad. Being like 12000 years old, you would think the Sojourner would know that there are 2 more levels to evolve to after a Death Slaad.
A death Slaad evolves to a White Slaad, and a White Slaad evolves to a Black Slaad(Which is stronger than an ancient Wyrm)

I can´t wait either. Cale is not my favorite character as such, but all Paul S. Kemp´s books are simply the best I have read so far in the realms and I might even say since I read Tolkien. Really love 'em.
Even worse than waiting for Godborn is having to wait a long time again till Godbound and then again Godslayer.  |

Hoo boy, those do a lot to excite a man. It definitely seems we would've lost something great had the novel never seen the light of day. |

I'm a big fan of Erevis Cale and all the books involving him. Even when I was reading the Realms of War anthology and "Shadowrealm", I was thinking that there was likely going to be a sequel to continue the storyline.
There is no release date yet. Paul mentioned that it will likely be a next years release.
Anyway, if you want to read some short samples from Godborn, check out Paul´s blog http://paulskemp.livejournal.com/.
The samples are:

Having just finished the Twilight War trilogy and thinking, "What a shame that he's not writing the sequel," this is astoundingly good news (though apparently I'm a bit late to pick up on it). Still, I'll certainly be picking this one up when it comes out -- The Twilight War trilogy was absolutely amazing. |

Azim was alive in book 2  and that is as far as I can tell for I did not read the last book of the trilogy. I am not a Cale fan. Anyway, if in case Azim returns in Godborn, maybe as a minor nuisance since the Shadovar (or whoever else) play the major bada**.  |

Actually, seeing as Riven showed the lord of Cania the true meaning of pain, and he is a god now, it's quite understandable if Azriim is laying low in the terrain |

This is what Paul had to say today about Brennus.

Paul, could you give Brennus some nice parts in the upcoming trilogy? Since I read Continuum he has become my favorite realms character and I would love to see more of him.
SC,
Brennus has an important role to play in the Cycle of Night.
Does that answer your question?
He also said Rivalen will be in this book. So, there, (needless to say
) the badass Shadovar will be back. I just hope Telamont and the other princes will be given some attention, too...Though considering that such book is only 300-something pages (which I personally consider too few to contain a fantasy story), I won't hope much.
