Tenth Month, 968 ARR (32 BBY) Darth Maul With a savage smirk, Darth Maul withdrew his lightsaber from where he had gutted the proud Jedi Master. Qui-Gon Jinn had been a worthy opponent. Tall, powerfully built, and skilled with his favored lightsaber form, Ataru.

Nonetheless Maul took pride in…- 13.5 K • Ongoing

- Hindsight is 20/20 as they say. I've improved significantly, incredibly, as a writer since I wrote LOTK so I thought, I'd write a sort of appendix, a sort of finisher. An analysis of sort of some of the arcs I wrote and overall what I think I could have done to write it better in hindsight, and if I wrote LOTK again now (not that I intend to) what could and should I have done instead? If you guys are interested, you could stick around for this little essay of mine. So where to begin? At the start I…

The unnatural clouds had dispersed and the sun's light shined warmly on Winterfell. If Winterfell was feeling the impact of the Great Other's death and the defeat of his servants so far north, surely Arnor itself and the rest of the empire were already well on their way to recovery and stability? Twenty years of a cold dark winter, and it seemed spring was finally on its way. The…

- Moat Cailin was a mighty fortress. Twenty strong towers and three sets of curtain walls and a keep guarding the only easily traversable track of land for miles. Yet mighty or not, Moat Cailin was not impregnable, especially from the north. As they neared the fortress, Aragorn observed that it was under heavy attack. A fierce battle was raging there. Seeing that they were needed, Aragorn ordered his unit to ride faster toward the Moat. Even though the Neck had been slowly drained for decades, the Causeway…

- 5420 E.L The High King of Arnor and all its empire stood at the window of the House of Kings in Morlond. Farsighted as he was, he could see from here as his granddaughters continued to distribute food, blankets, and other necessities to the people of the city, refusing to return home per their oath. "You should be proud of them," he told his son Aragorn. "They have singlehandedly won the love and affection of the people." He knew the game that was being played here, yet for all the politicking, he could…
