Welcome to the new World in Flames site! (with other bits tacked on at the end). Why the move? Well to be close to our Wrath of the Immortals family of course! That and the last joint losing everything in February and restoring to their most recent backups... from November. Sheez!
A little background... once upon a time we decided to play a small game of DND called 'Wrath of the Immortals'. Lots of angst, torment, and torture later, we were thirtsy for more. Some French guy (Hi Bruce!) was tossing over a few ideas... which got picked up for part two of the 'Glantri rullz ok' trilogy. Set roughly 10 years later, this is 'World in Flames'. So much promise in that name. Funnily enough there weren't quite as many fires as in Wrath... Which really makes me wonder about part 3 - 'Star of Vanya'. It's roughly 100 years after Wrath and promises the most pain,angst,torture, and torment of them all...
Check out the main Wrath site or go straight to my stories index there for all the fun and frolics of Moskva's, Tania's, Caliban's, and Brook's lives at such an exciting time in the history of the Known World!
In roughly chronological order...
Five Go Summoning
This is a prequel/pseudo background to my main characters - Eva and Vlad. With their three best buds from the Great School of Magic they have a little fun in 1012. One of my favourites.
Absolute Beginners
In 1013 more stuff happens. Consider this the pilot episode to 'World in Flames'. Or perhaps the passing of the baton. A must-read for anyone who's been following Moskva's story.
Written in Stone
And for anyone following Brook's story, she comes for a visit round about then too.
The Journals
Eva and Vlad both have journals that run from the start of the game (Nuwmont 1014) to reasonably close to the end (Swiftmont 1015) - for as long as they're in two different locations. This is about the only record of actual game events you'll find - though told entirely from the perspective of my two main PCs. Vlad was the main PC from the start to mid Ambyrmont 1014 where it switched to Eva until the end.
Illumination
A quick glimpse into the fate awaiting Moskva.
If Destiny Chooses to Damn Us, Part I
When Eva and Vlad swap places, there just barely miss each other... This one's a little weird because of the way it's framed. Still not sure if it works or not.
The Ballad of Tania & Caliban
Oh come on, you didn't think these guys would be sitting around doing nothing, did you? It's in screenplay format and tends to take big jumps in time. They're only secondary characters afterall but it wouldn't be the same without them!
Exodus
Very imaginatively named. Eva brings her people back from slavery in Felmont 1015.
If Destiny Chooses to Damn Us, Part II
No near misses allowed this time. Eva and Vlad reunite in Swiftmont 1015.
Heartships
Of course things aren't all completely happy and bouncy for Eva and Vlad. Or for Beckett.
Ties That Break
Meanwhile in Wendar things ain't so sweet for Claudette and Michel. Again with the secondary characters insisting they get to do something! They won't be doing that again.
Home Thoughts from Abroad
Tania is back in Glantri but Caliban has gone to Heldann. Eva's in over her head in Glantri and Vlad has things to do in Lizieni. So that leaves letters and lots of thinking about one another. This takes up from the journals in telling the events of the game.
Mistakes and Misgivings
Eva has a bad day in Kaldmont 1015.
Five Are Together Again
Well, Five Go Summoning needed a sequel! This takes place in Thaumont 1016 a couple of months after game's end. There's things that needed to be said and done!
All About Eva
Eirmont 1016 and Beckett finally puts some of his own thoughts down on paper.
Glantrian Chronicles
A catch-all area for all sorts of in-between-games stuff.
Now with its own site!
