Path of the Lion (Dramatis Personae)
#1 of Kingdoms Enjoined #1 - Path of the Lion
Okay - so I've had my reservations about uploading this anywhere because the Kingdoms Enjoined trilogy is something that I really intend to be my magnum opus, but I finally decided that uploading it here and getting some critique/attention for it might help in the long run and give me the motivation to work on it more often.
To be clear, Path of the Lion is intended to be a NOVEL. It is in the fantasy genre, and my target length is around 100,000 to 120,000 words. That is a lot, and I know that. But as I said, this is my magnum opus. I have been working on and refining this story for nearly ten years now, and I'm finally putting it into chapter/novel form.
This is the Dramatis Personae of the story. For those of you who may not be familiar with the term, a dramatis personae is part of the preface of a play or book wherein the characters and their various roles are listed, but without spoilers. As you see, there will be many characters in this story - and on that note, as I'm still in the drafting phase of this story, it's likely that this dramatis personae will undergo changes from time to time. Even so, it's a good reference for the numerous characters in the story.
I will upload the prologue as soon as I'm finished converting it into SoFurry format! Enjoy.
