 Actual Story Thread


Time is a fun thing, and so are Weavers.



Shadow Dragon666 suggested the idea to me, and it kinda took off.



Trust me, what's up there so far isn't even the START of what's going to happen.

 Nice......It's getting more interesting per chapter. So far, I have found no errors in the story. Keep up the good work

Okay, I am not sure of how I am to place the Chronoweavers into Dragonfable. I could see this order being founded and existing after the fall or during the reign of the Rose, but not before that. The main point on that is that a guild of chronomancers could have effectively uncreated the Rose from being in the first place. The Rose would hunt them down.

1180, 1225, 1321 for years are not feasible. Like I mentioned before, Battleonia is the main continent and to make matters worse the Guardian Towers were founded nearly a thousand years ago. The kingdoms of Battleonia are easily thousands of years old.

not all chronoweavers have that specific power. the scouts use time magic to relay information instantly, instead of being like a high-speed connection as compared to a low-speed one.

The Rose is full of paranoid hypocrites, do you think they would abide such an organization to exist if they knew about it?

well er, the organization itself was damaged during the reign of the rose, but the tower itself was easily rebuilt with chronomancy.




the Weaver Society itself existed for several centuries. before they became an organization, it was individuals who found they could manipulate small amounts / quantities / instances of time that came together in one place.

as to why the Rose couldn't eliminate them all will be in a further installment.



if the weavers uncreated the rose, then surely in 5 years' time, there would've been unpredictable changes.
it is assumed by Alteon and his advisers that the Rose was doing (some) good in the period of time that the hero was frozen, so many of those "good deeds" would not have happened, rapidly changing the timeline yet again.
which is why they use closed field chronomancy (only the affected people are altered)

 chapter 2 Freezing is now finished, and Shadow's adventures in Halcyon will continue with the next chapter, Surface.

school started up again, so i'll probably wind up doing a chapter every week or two, not unlike DF itself. i wrote the prologue, 1 and half of 2 before the new year, and only got around to formatting and posting them a few days ago.



also, a quick survey to everyone who has read Cpt 2;
what are your opinions of the major characters revealed so far? their concept, their mannerisms, anything.
i think i've got the plot well to an interesting enough progression, but a few of my previous (unposted) works that had characters who were too "flat", one-dimensional.
practically everyone so far (except cysero) is a main character.

That was a little...narmy.
Anyhow, lots of walls of text here. Generally people around here break them up a bit as it makes reading online much easier.

Not a bad start though, this anomaly is quite odd.
There were parts that felt a bit jerky though. Mainly introducing all these new concepts so briefly.

they're actually supposed to be indented. stupid MSword stops recognizing indents after a while, so the paragraphs just look all bunched up.



anyone have a solution for this?

Just space out the paragraphs, gives em breathing room.
Razen and DDL's stories have good examples of eye-friendly formatting.

 i tried mimicking razen's format for the prologue, is that any better?

 i fixed up the spacing errors that made it stupidly hard to read.

also, split one of the chapters into two (the blue letter chapter was too long), wrote out the next part.

 um, yaaay, new chapter!


hopefully it allows the two rather disconnected plots to come together.
hopefully i didn't make a mistake in the writing for this section. the wording of several phrases are very important.

Something which caught my attention was the fact that Shadow and Raynor are using swords rather than looms.

 ^ my original intention was for the characters to use a variety of weapons.
i had a scrapped version of the portal-shattering that involved a magical staff.

i guess that the idea is that looms aren't the only tool that can be used for textiles.

if short blades are looms, then i suppose that swords are sewing needles :/

 more stuff posted a few days ago, including the second clash between the protagonists and Raynor.



frankly, i'm not all that fond about the way that Raynor talks. he reminds me too much of wargoth, in speech and spirit.
is that just a byproduct of attempting to create an original where there can be no more, or is it just a coincidence?



i hope readers found the Clairce scene as humorous as i did.
numerous references in the whole of Chapter 6 - Questions.

 I couldn't find any grammar mistakes, so you're good on that.

I am rather curious as to what your explanation is for the mana core.

 ^ I think one thing that i was kind of messy about was the use of Mana Core and Magma Core.


the MP Core will probably be used later in the story, but the Magma Core is just a place.

An important location, but still only a spot on the map in the end.

 and so, with this new chapter, part 2 of this (hopefully) 3-part story begins!


also, the enormous time gap between last entry and this one is completely intentional, not at all because i was too busy procrastinating to format it for AEF use...

 after another long period of hammering away on MS word, we have 2 more sections of the story!

anyway, i do think that the current level of language is okay, haven't used anything far coarser than DF, and on terms of violence, i'd say... slightly less than final 13th?

This might sound stupid, but when I imagine ice it is solid whereas a river is not. So perhaps you could describe the scenery a bit better to help the readers with getting a mental image as to what you're going for here.

Hold on, wasn't Quake one of the people who worked for the emperor (if only as a farce)? By that logic he most certainly did not cast them out.

Earlier in history, we too were betrayed by the man now known as the Dark Emperor. We were cast away and treated as criminals by one whom we considered one of our own.

I suppose the intention behind that is that this betrayal happened before the Grid came to working for the Emperor.
Before this, there was no rebel army, as there was no need for one. When Quake uses "we", he means the people of the Grid, not "we" as in "him, Helios, and the ones currently (pretending to be) working for the Emperor.

It's a glacier, so I guess replacing the offending term with "floe" should solve that problem.

the silly part about having your character named "shadow" is that you can't call their dark side "shadow shadow"

 assuming you're talking about vice being evil...

i might not have expanded on it too much, but there's the personality and evil red armor thing going on. in addition, vice pulled shadow into the ice lake, which certainly wasn't "good".
