That is some great lore James. 
I guess that answers the Pre-Spellplague Realmslore rumor that has been going around. 
I look forward to some more.

Nice background James and fascinating times then in Narfell!
I like these FR-politics of adding value to novels by providing short stories with additional background!

Highly entertaining. I think the Wordsworth poem puts the finishing touches on the dark elements of the story.
I agree with everyone, I am glad WotC is sticking with the trend to include some back story to their books.
Great job James! |

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoyed! I'll post the link for The Restless Shore's beasties next Monday. Some good stats for new monsters, a bit of lore behind each one, and I believe some artwork by yours truly included.
Best,
--James
(P.S. Did any one catch the bits with Goorgian? Had to include him in there. Oh to tell his full story one day...) |

Hi sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I have recently tried to read the short story however something is wrong, I keep clicking continue story but it keeps bringing me to the same page. Is there a free pdf version online that I can download and read from, or does anyone have a copy?
Thanks! |

You may be better off using the Internet Wayback Machine. Plug in that URL and the date of the post...
WotC has a horrible habit of moving their web content around and not updating or redirecting links. I truly believe that not even their web admins know where everything is. |

Try this. It’s the first result that friend Google showed. |
