Paul S. Kemp said this about the next Erevis Cale trilogy:
quote:
The next trilogy will feature an RSE, so you're right on with that. As for magnitude, I don't really know. I don't think of it as an issue of magnitude, so much as an issue of a good fit with the story I'll be telling. And yes, I think the change will be great for the Realms (and I can say absolutely nothing else about it; seriously).
So, who wants to start the rampant speculation on what Realms shaking/shattering/selling event will involve Cale, and what might happen duing said series. |

It's hard for me to speculate on Paul's meaning of an RSE featuring Cale.Midnight's Mask hasn't even come out yet.The possibilities are endless.Though I do hope that Riven makes it through whatever happens. |

Sorry about the addendum, but I also did not realize that I had read Byers short stories in Dragon until I started reading Year of Rogue Dragons. My step daughter also read the first short story, the one with Taegan, and loved him immediately.
She was also quite fond of Jack in City of Ravens. |

Yes, I did start reading both of their potential RSE trilogies, though I am thinking of picking up City of Ravens as well, especially since my step daughter checked it out and read it at school, and was thus trumpimg me in Realmslore, lol. It was her first FR book, and she was reading it about the time that I finished Condemnation. |

What books by Baker and Byers did you pick up off this WOTSQ bounce?
I ask because they are both involved in series' that could end up involving an RSE or RAE. |

Are you saying you also read other novels by these authors after their work within this series? |

I know his opinion might make this RSE seem more important to him than it would be to someone else, but I don't know . . . he seems to be implying that it will be a big change "for the better"
I guess I'll be better equiped for further reckeless speculation once I start on the Cale books.

Agreed. I hope the RSE doesn't involve that plot development. |

They better not bump off the Drow Twins...
However, I have faith in Paul...his writing saved Ressurection from mediocrity |

This is certainly possible. After all, it has been mentioned in Faiths & Pantheons (I think) that Mask's and Vhaerun's portfolios are so similar that the Lord of Shadows wants to take them and add them to his own power.

It would not make much difference at this point in time, besides deities do not stay dead.
There will be an upcoming answer about Skullport, that might shake up Undermountian, though a total colaspe I would not expect see happen
Also the Drow already had featured attention recently so RSE might not directly refer to them.
I would be looking for something effecting the surface to be more likely. Though I do suspose the Drow might actually try to take back the surface, I still think ulikely.
Death of a ruler or kingdom would be more Realn shaking and I would consider that more likely.
Other thing that might shake up realm death/change in status of long standing character well known thoughout the realms. |

Come on... If it was Deathstar Denning then there might be cause to worry, but considering how much hadn't changed at the end of WotSQ, I don't think we need worry overmuch. |

How is that an RSE? C'mon, he's the most important person on the entire planet! Everyone knows that!   
Been sampling some wine coolers tonight?
One thing to note with this RSE....Paul Kemp's theory on what constitutes an RSE might differ than what some fans consider an RSE. I know for instance my opinion on the overall effect of the WOTSQ series differs from his beliefs. |

I think that the RSE will focus more on Mask's main goal: recovering his lost portfolio from Cyric. After all, this was the main reason he made his five Chosens anyways. It would be nice to read about Erevis and his friends battling epic creatures to recover the portfolio of Deception. Hopefully, the Lord of Shadows will make a cameo too. |
