A Bit of the story outline

Here's some information on where the story starts...thought I'd post this up today in between my other work. Maybe get people interested?

Story Outline

Ayithe Solete is a young beautiful strong woman who lives in a large town known as Rium. Living with her older brother and parents they live a fairly simple lifestyle, but simple doesn’t mean easy. Ayithe and her brother follow in the footsteps of their parents of being a Regional Fighter. Regional Fighters are not just thugs, but people who fight for prestige, courage, prominence and of course money. All fighters must strictly follow the Fighters Code; to fight only on agreed terms, to never fight to the death, to fight within a declared area safe from others, and when wearing a fighters badge to act responsible at all times. While only fighters who have participated in league tournaments can wear the badge, word travels fast in Toltheria and Carnus so reputations grow quickly for those who wish to start out.

The success of Ayithe’s family has earned them a statutory home with Rium, and Toltheria prides itself on its fighting tradition and family names are eager to keep their homes as famous as their victories. Ayithe believes she has a lot to live up to since her parents rise to fame, and while her older brother has had more time to adapt, Ayithe’s temper often holds back her own real skill and determination. Leaving Rium and the North of Toltheria for the first time, Ayithe is free to explore the world properly with her brother. Yet things quickly go wrong, leaving Ayithe the dramatic realization that the rest of the world is very different to that of her own. Losing everything and everyone important to her, Ayithe is taken to the lowest point of her life before discovering that her shocking journey has only just begun.

Toltheria

Toltheria is Large Island within the massive Continent of Carnus, a world where Dragons and other creatures roam free and break up the ever growing population of humans that dominate the land. The large human population has over grown what the Royal Family can now cover, new Sheriffs have been appointed to take charge over various regions and cities. The Royal Family have moved away from the beautiful Toltherian Island and now reside in Carnus to keep better control of their vast land, while Toltheria has since been left under the authority of it's Prince and Sheriffs.

Toltheria is a large Island with a mountainous north with a flatter south, but the man feature of Toltheria is its great forest that cover's the majority of the island leaving all the human settlements to cover the outer rim of the island away from the dangers of the creature's that reside inside. Toltheria is also the birth place and resting place of the great wizard Shalan, who's fanatics have created there own cult that are based in Solonce.

More important information!

Firstly a late post since I said I'd update on weekend, but o well plenty to update.

I had a chat with some people who have read the first couple of chapters and one opinion I got was about the Prologue was that they believed the story was going to be about Shalan's Vengeful spirit. (If you don't know who Shalan is read the prologue which I posted up early in this blog.) Therefore he believed it was a predictable storyline. I have quickly assured him he was wrong and to keep reading.

I have received positive feedback after that, but since he expressed that opinion I thought I would bring it up in case anyone else had that opinion. It does make me wonder if I should change the prologue encase it really does give across that impression too strongly? I'll take it into consideration and wait for some more opinions.

I haven't done as much work on Chapter 5 this week, but when I get chance between my university work I'll continue again as I'm really enjoying writing it and have no intention of stopping.

Meanwhile, here are some more updated title designs I've been working on. New fonts and layout. The first wooden design is actually by Ronald, someone who's been proof reading my story, its nice and clear and stands out much more over the rocky one that I've done. I like the rocky one especially with the new font and its actually pretty clear in when its larger, but once its smaller it becomes unclear. The third one, is a simpler design, again I changed the font and I've actually come to liking it the most so far.



I have also decided that the first few chapters will be released onto my Facebook group page. These will be the fully updated, proof read versions that you would expect to find in the final story. I won't release full versions of the rest of the story as I'll save them for the finished version, but hopefully it'll give those interested a preview and see what they think, hopefully making you want to read the rest.

I guess I've not been as slow as I thought I would be, and I managed to get a chunk more done of Chapter 5. I decided to re-write a certain scene since I didn't like it, and its made me feel more comfortable with the chapter now.

I also recently had a new reader, who really enjoyed what I've written so far. I guess I decided I wasn't going to post this all up since I was actually putting alot of effort into it and thought it should all wait until it's all done and redy for reading, however I realise its important to get some views to ensure I'm still on track. So far all is well.

I am actually planning on putting up more information, but I'm not on the right computer at the moment, so i'll get back on it and update!
