[Mkguild] Idea for possible jumping-off point

[C. Matthias]

Well, I am always interested in discussing ideas 
for the future of MK.  Here are some of my thoughts.

Nathan, regarding your idea on the expansion of 
the Curse post Marzac, it is something that I had 
thought of doing quite some time ago.  You are 
getting into my head remarkably well these days. ;-)

However, at the time I suggested it, I didn't 
realize all of the complications and political 
instability this would cause.  Further, there 
didn't seem to be much enthusiasm for the idea so 
I quietly dropped it.  I still think it is a 
logical consequence of the increase in magical 
energy that will ensue now that the sinkhole of 
Marzac has been plugged.  However, I'm not wedded to the idea.

As for the Starchild Arc, I had thought the goal 
was to proceed with Merai's corruption 
alternative in which she becomes a pawn of 
Suspira and takes control of the Sathmoran 
Emporer.  I've been reviewing Raven's last works 
in addition to working on my own stories in order 
to gauge what needs to be done.  I just have a 
TON to write of my own so this project is going 
to take me some time (unless I get some help from interested parties).

As for the situation in the Midlands, Verdane and 
Otakar are currently focussed on each other and I 
have a plan in place where Metamor plays a 
pivotal role in rescuing Jaime Verdane.  This 
situation could go lots of different ways, but my 
ultimate goal was to strengthen Metamor's 
position politically.  How all of that plays out 
of course is up in the air.  One thing I do want 
to do is explore the character of Andwyn more as 
he is involved in this entire affair from the 
beginning.  But I can manage that no matter which way this goes.

I intend to have William Dupré begin building a 
wall that will stretch across the entire Giant's 
Dike which will fortify Metamor's northern border 
and make Lutin raiding parties a thing of the 
past.  Of course, that will take a very long time 
to build, so don't say goodbye to Lutins just 
yet.  Ryx's Ghost Horde storyline takes place well before the Wall is finished.

Anyway, that's some of what I had hoped to do.

What do other people have planned?  And what 
conflicts exist in these plans so we know what to work around?

May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love,

Charles Matthias
