So this first year
of stories is winding down to a close, and there will be a few more,
and then it will be time to start a new year. Rather than a series
of loosely-connected tales like this year (as every story this year
has taken place in the same world, just at widely differing places and
times) next year I will tell a unified story. The idea is to do four
story arcs that take up about three months – six installments –
apiece. They will be self-contained stories, but they will all come
together to tell one larger, book-length tale:
In a grim, frozen
age, when clouds cover the sun and glaciers march down from the poles
to conquer the earth, a young warrior will be forced to fight for his
people, to rise and become a great chieftain in a dark land. When he
dies he will be buried in a forbidden valley among ancient menhirs,
and blood-sworn warriors will live to kill any who trespass upon the
sacred lands. In ages to come, he will be unearthed, and a cult will
rise about his name. Armies will march and nations will die in the
wake of The Sleeping Tyrant.
