Nice story, I would love to read more about him.
And that Statue is clearly radiant, not grim at all! |

Woah, YEAH it does. Fixed! (I hope!)
@RW: Who knows? There might be more about the first Shadowbane later. We'll see how successful Downshadow ends up being.

One brief question: How do you pronounce Drovesm?

The way *I* pronounce it is:
Dro (rhymes with "snow) + VES (like "vest") + mmm (like mmm-mmm, good)
Probably doesn't particularly matter in the grand scheme of things (as he gets turned into ashy bits pretty quick), but that's how I intended it.

Hello Erik. I got Downshadow delivered to my door today and being a fast reader already done with it. Although I'm not really a fan of the Post-Spellplague Realms, 'Downshadow' really captures Waterdeeps and the 'Old' Realms spirit (especially by bringing back one or two of the old residents), making it the second Post-SP read I enjoyed (the other being 'Blackstaff Tower'). Do you already know if other stories featuring these characters are planned? I hope Shadowbane will continue his nightly crusade somehow (very Batman-like) What happend/will happen to Lady Ilira Nathalan after we last saw her in Downshadow might also be of interest to some people ;) I'm also already guessing about the nature of Fayne (does the race starts with an f?) and her patron (here several theories actually, one divine, one fiendish, one mortal) and his connection to Ilira. High hopes also on that the joke Fayne made about Myrin's true nature was prophetic and that there is a reason Fayne's patron tells her about 'the mad mage who tried to avert the spellplague'.
Best Wishes Lirdolin

An honor, sir. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I'm most gratified to hear the phrase "captures Waterdeep's and the Old Realms' spirit," as that was very much what I was going for. I wanted to show that this new world is less different from the old world than you'd think, and I--at least--will always be writing out of a rich tradition steeped in lore and history, which I fully intend to turn into excellent tales that can be enjoyed by readers young in realmslore and old sages alike.
I'm glad it worked for you in that way.
quote: Do you already know if other stories featuring these characters are planned?
I have several ideas, but no relevant contracts have been signed as yet. We'll just have to see what materializes.
quote: I hope Shadowbane will continue his nightly crusade somehow (very Batman-like)
These is a bit of a Batman-vibe, isn't there? I won't deny that that was an influence--I am a particular fan of the dark knight. I think of it as an homage.
As for Shadowbane in particular--who knows what the future may hold? It seems unlikely he'll be stalking the streets of Waterdeep immediately, as he's got something (someone) important to find first . . . I hope we'll get the chance to find out.
quote: What happend/will happen to Lady Ilira Nathalan after we last saw her in Downshadow might also be of interest to some people ;)
Heh heh, I suspect so. Particularly the revelation of her identity will be significant to some, and the changes that a century has wrought upon her (powers, her surname, the events of Myrin's dream sequence, etc). I do hope to explore that--at least in part--in a future book.
What I *hope* I pulled off in this book was avoiding the Depths of Madness trap where I seem to have hinted that I was going to *explain* all these mysteries and then when I of course didn't--because I had and still have more story to tell--it felt a bit unfinished.
quote: I'm also already guessing about the nature of Fayne (does the race starts with an f?) and her patron (here several theories actually, one divine, one fiendish, one mortal) and his connection to Ilira.
I won't confirm or deny anything at this point, but keep speculating--I suspect you're close to the mark. And about Fayne's race . . . F is an excellent initial letter.
quote: High hopes also on that the joke Fayne made about Myrin's true nature was prophetic
Heh. My editor and I had a bit of a tussle about that--I'm pleased with how it ended up (that is, clearly a joke but also ambiguous as to what it foreshadows).
quote: and that there is a reason Fayne's patron tells her about 'the mad mage who tried to avert the spellplague'.
I will assure you that there certainly is such a reason. As to what the reason is . . . well. We'll see.
Thank you for your feedback, and I'm glad you enjoyed. Keep reading, and stop by the Book Club threads if you like--there will almost certainly be more hints that come out of those conversations.
Cheers
P.S. to Lirdolin, Red Walker, Sage, et al: I'm also in the habit of encouraging folks who enjoy the book to consider writing a review to post on Amazon. I'm a lowly, fledgling writer, and the best way to build up a readership and spread the word is through recommendations from other readers.

I'm sorry I bothered you about shipping overseas and then didn't even post in the contest, but I wasn't at home over the holidays and as I got back on the net the contest was over.
But on the bright side, while I was away Depths of madness arrived and I will plunge into as soon as possible! |

I could almost picture a certain scene (complete with classic Batman Animated soundtrack) from Batman Beyond where the old Bruce Wayne wearing an grey and black Exo-Bat-suit battled Inque, whenever Shadowbane charged into battle. And that's absolutly not a bad thing for me

My thanks, gracious lady.
And I've never actually seen an episode of Batman Beyond, I don't believe (that's an animated show, right?) but I remember the classic animated series quite fondly.
It's kind of a coincidence that The Dark Knight came out after I'd already written the book, because I saw a number of parallels.

It has been at least six months since I read your bio at the end of Depths of Madness, and I still wish had met you while you at Willamette. I attended Western Baptist College (now Corban College) and still live in Salem.
Anyways, I am looking forward to hearing more news on your rumored non-Realmsian novel so I can support you while continuing to not purchase anything 4e Realms new. And hopefully I will find a copy of Downshadow used. |

It might be a long, long while before you can find a copy of DS used . . . I haven't seen my books on the used bookstore shelf, like, ever, and one can expect it will be a year or two before they show up at least.
On the other hand, it may be possible to buy it on ebay or from a used seller on Amazon.
Or (and you might like this the best) you can order one directly from me, and I'll send it to you autographed. (Check my blog for more details.)

This question was originally posed over in the General FR chat, but I thought it was a good one to recopy:
quote: Originally posted by skychrome
Erik, just out of interest: how do you invent names of characters for you books? Any particular source of inspiration?
I think every author has a different way of doing it (and I'd be interested to hear other strategies!), but mine . . .
A lot of names just jump into my mind, which is the easiest way. Usually they're not well formed and need a little tweaking (Ilira was like that, Gargan), but sometimes they're exactly what I want (Kalen, Myrin, Yldar, Rhyn, Dharan).
Sometimes I pick a word I think describes the character, then tweak it into a name (feign = Fayne, aria = Arya, lilt = Lilten, never = Neveren, bar = Bars, gestalt = Gestal) or just leave it as-is (Twilight, Walker), which I think imbues a character with the sort of underlying concept I want them to have (whether subtle or overt). Sometimes (rarely) I borrow names from other works and sometimes modify them slightly, like Cellica (which is not the car, BTW) or Meris (if anyone wants to guess where those came from, go for it; it may be obscure).
I have also been known to name characters after real people, either as a nod to a loyal reader--or as a way of eviscerating someone in fiction (not naming any names).
Some I have no idea where they came from, but just loved them anyway: Cythara, Derst, Rylatarralahtyma, Rukkthalmuramaxamin.

...which provides a pretty good explaination on how the name Thlork was born and associated to the respective character!
What passed through your mind the moment you imagined a name for that creature? I just see this big muscular arm leaving a blob of glibber where one second before there stood a mighty fighter... |

More or less.
I seem to recall . . . ah yes. In a little-talked-about PS1 game called Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi(sp?)--which is basically Soul Calibur in the SW universe--there was a Gamorian guard called (no lie) Thok. That was sort of the feel I was going for.

This name creation issue is really interesting! I just recently asked Elaine Cunningham if her character Tzigone from Counselors & Kings was based on the German word for "gipsy", which was actually the case, just that she took the similar hungarian word.
Personally I think your approach on naming characters on how you feel them is very good because somehow automatically the names really correspond to your characters! It is actually transmitted to readers!

I can't believe the contest to the autographed book has already ended! I've rush my reading to "Realms of Elves", and thought about my commentary for days! (even without reading)
Four hours ago, I read "The greater treasure"... I truly have to congratulate you Erik. 'Til now, your tale was the best one (started reading Ed's one now). Even better then Salvatore's (who's my favorite writer)...
Your writing style, remembers me of Ed's. And I don't know how your story said more then a 70 pages one, good work man! After reading those 10 books that are coming from Amazon.com, I'll buy an autographed copy of Downshadow... (But if I had won the contest, I would probably read it after "The Pirate King", "Unholy" and "Shadowrealm".. It would be my 4th)
Well.. By the way, I would say this: "My favorite character, at the moment, but only at the moment, is the Shadowdancer Twilight... 'Cause probably I'll have another one, after reading the autographed copy of Donwshadow that I will receive after winning this contest."
Do you think I have any chance of winning some contest with this kind of message? I will use it when I have another opportunity. |

Well, I expedited the contest in order to get books out to people sooner. If you want a signed book, by all means, drop me an email or contact me through my blog and we'll work it out.
I'm not sure if/when there'll be another contest--we'll just have to see.
I'm glad you like "The Greater Treasure"--I was quite proud of that story, and it's certainly significant to several sections of Downshadow, particularly a scene on pages 253-256. Not that you have to have read it for everything to make sense--it's just cool if you have.
(That's my goal--making the book stand alone but also making it so that readers of my other work will pick up extra things.)

I'm now about 100 pages into Depths, and enjoying it so far. I think you played well with stereotypes in the group, but until now the dungeon itself is the star. It really sets the right mood. Apropos Charakters: Davoren reminded me about something...and today it came back to me:
