Hey there,

Some really nice stuff here

As an author of short stories myself, I found some mistakes and sentences that needs fixing, but overall the writing in very interesting and I would love to read more.

Maybe when I have the time, I will write some lore of my own.

I read both of the Nishavan's Stories..
While the Original was really good,I found yours even better than it.
Great work NC...
Hope you'll keep on Writing great stories like this one....

It's like the ley line for the story

Finally read Nachyo's prologue and it's really quite good. I've read quite a few MTG novels and you can see whether or not parts of the novel were lazily written or written from cliched ideas; Nachyo's is fresh and zesty.

Yeah... I get plenty of critters and heroes killed, sadly.

I wonder how many people don't realize there is an official short story out, and no, not the prologue. On a related note, I have tried to contact Kyle about writing new material (have not received an answer yet). SE is on the rise, but there's still virtually nothing explained in terms of lore and back story.

It was terrible.
I love what little lore we've been given so far, but writing it needs to be a work of love not of "hey, let's make a quick buck."

So that was my project for the past four days; I rewrote the entire prologue as an act of love in the hopes the story behind our heroes and their allies will see the light of day. Be warned that their may be SOME typos that I missed. I made an effort to correct them, so I hope it's not going to ruin any experiences.

You sir, are an extremely talented individual. Just reading the last page made me want to log in and start playing. I can only imagine if this was released to many others the hype coinciding with the final release of set 1 would make this game a huge success.
