Alright.  My summer hiatus is over so I'm returning to posting parts regularly on this site.  Apparently, I forgot to do my wrap-up post before I took my summer hiatus, so much apologies there...  There should be more traffic to this site this year.  Last year I had been posting the Arquenia Saga in a private forum as well as here, and for various reasons, I'll not be posting there anymore, so this site will become the main hub for stuff.

On account of that, I've revamped this site a lot to display a lot of info that people will be interested in.  I now have tabs above for you to refresh yourself on the characters, the races of Arquenia, and the miscellaneous stuff that I'll be compiling in the Almanac.  I also have posted the full version of Book II in PDF format, so if you want to see that (or Book I), just head on over to the downloads page.

My schedule will be the same as last year--posting Tuesdays and Saturdays with maybe some Thursday posts when I'm trying to wrap the story up.  I'll begin posting regular parts next week starting on Tuesday.  If you come here on Saturday, I'll also be posting a quick summary of Books I and II for people who need a refresher of what has happened before before jumping into Book III.  You can also subscribe to the RSS Feed (link to the right) to get notified via email whenever I post a new post.

And here is my teaser for Book III: The Quest.

Seven golden corsha weapons...  Forged at the dawn of time to be a defense for the races...  One weapon was given to each race for their protection and safety, before the darkness fell...  Now, Emperor Jaigran is searching for all seven weapons, to unleash the powerful being called the Watcher in order to rule the world.  Unbeknownst of his plan, the Xavier Team is attempting to find the weapons in order to bring peace to the land.  Paths clash as the two groups try to find the Sla'ad's golden corsha weapon: a rezquiert, which was lost in the Great War against the Sla'ad.

But that's not the worst of it.  Back in Araelia, rumors begin to be spreading of a devious plan that would attempt to destroy the Resistance for good.  Lord Freglak not only has to deal with the invading elves, but now with a reborn Priesthood of the Mothertree.  And worst of all, it is beginning to become evident that a traitor lurks in the Xavier Team...  One who is doing all he can to sabotage their plans and deliver the world into the hands of the Emperor.

The Quest is on to find the weapon of the Sla'ad.  Emperor Jaigran is beginning a plan that he has worked out with the Watcher for the destruction of the resistance.  Is the Xavier Team able to pick up the pieces and stop the elven empire?  Or will the traitor destroy them all?

Tune in next Tuesday as the Arquenia Saga continues into Book III: The Quest.
