A note on the language thing. Since posts are now fed to my site's front page, I'd prefer if language is kept to tone-downed levels. "Blast" can be an awesome swear word, if used creatively. (Heh...)
Drannic, you're doing an awesome job so far. Just a couple of notes you may be interested in:
Chapters are usually one day long, sometimes prefixed or followed by a night. I generally keep time in my posts and mention things like sunrise and sunset. You having posts where days pass is perfectly acceptable, but it means that you're also on a different time schedule than everyone else (e.g. Maybe the events in your posts happened a few days before or something.) This is no big deal when your characters aren't interacting with anyone else's, but just something you'll want to be aware of when/if you do some character interaction with other posters.
Also, the Dark Continent isn't so far away that days are different. (Maybe a timezone or two away.) And since Tjed is east of the Dark Continent (
see map), the sun rises there first. (Heh...)
The Crimson Empire doesn't really exist any more (just making sure you know this since you're hinting with the word 'crimson' a lot. Heh...). Everything that was Crimson was re-assimilated into the Dark Empire when Retan returned (which wasn't a big deal, because the Crimson Empire was the Dark Empire to begin with). The Crimson Emperor Draven is still around through, and still calls himself that to spite Retan. The only other person who might consider himself a member of the Crimson Empire might be the alchemist Allen, who is currenly helping out Tjed.
Here's a brief
timeline you may want to take a look at.
