Hey,
I was browsing around the forum and I saw that some of you decided to write their own LW stories. With the series stop at 28 books, and Joe saying that he will not give us hints about the outlines for the last 4 books (in case that a new publisher shows up), I would like to hear about your own ideas for the outlines for the remaining books. Come on, here’s a chance for us to come up with plots in our own way. Let’s be creative. Tell us, what could be your synopsis for books 29 to 32?

What about . . . Lone Wolf receives a call from the Council of Thirty saying that they have heard rumours of the Cursed Bra of Agrash the [darn]ed's Wife (colloquially known by the name Al Yss). Lone Wolf, having an aversion to nookie after the loss of his tedious girlfriend about 100 years ago and STILL not being over her, sends YOU in his stead to Telchos. You must enter the desert and find the archeological excavation. Entering a newly-discovered crypt, you eventually find the Bra and find that not one but two Doomstones have been concealed in the cups. After a struggle, you finally manage to unhook it and it falls to the floor, the evil magic finally dispersing forever.See? I told you all I would have to say something immature and stupid. I did warn you. On a less infantile note, I think the Telcharim would have to be involved in at least one of the missing adventures, though I can't think of a sensible plot for it right now. Other areas the Grand Master could visit are the Doomlands of Naaros, Maakenmire, the western coast of Southern Magnamund (city of Quilla), the south-western part of Mythenish Southern Magnamund (cities of Vaduz and Shotia), Isle of Zhor, Lucien Hills, Tent City of Rakholi. It's difficult to come up with plots because we don't know the countries and the landscapes as well as Joe, so what could look like a boring plain on the maps in The Magnamund Companion might actually have lots of history and adventure opportunities attached to them. Conversely, areas that look interesting might actually be rather samey.

It's weird that we tought almost the same thing at the same time Anyway, I tought it would be cool to bring back Vandyan from book 24 for that story since he seems to love Agarash and his legacy.

There's something that's been bugging me about the New Order series for a long time: you become a Supreme Master upon mastery of 15 of the 16 Disciplines. The only reason I can think of for this is that Book 32 would have something really big in it. After this thread got me thinking, all I can imagine is that Book 32 would be about the return (or attempted return) of either Vashna or Agarash (or both--yipe!). If it's Agarash, the Doomlands of Naaros and surrounding locales seems the most obvious setting.

Hey, Let’s be creative. Tell us, what could be your synopsis for books 29 to 32? All I know is that I demand more time travel, such as in book 31, when the Kai go back in time, stop the creation of everyone's two favorite characters, and earn the gratitude of everyone. That would be sweet. Seriously, though. Time travel. Key to success. Why, if I'd had it, I would have sent the Exterminus after LW before he became a Grand Master. Why, why do these ideas never occur when I need them?

The comeback of Agarash...mmmh, sweet! That would be the climax of the series. But I was thinking about something: the skull of Agarash was destroyed, so he would need another body to comeback to life. Why not using Oriah's body? Sesketera would bring her in Naaros and make a ritual. She would then be possessed by the spirit of Agarash and the Grand Master would need to save her by destroying the demon's spirit without killing her. That could be interesting. After he saves the maiden in distress, he could marry her, buy a loft in downtown of Holmgard, get a wagon pulled by 8 horses to go to the monastery pretty fast and have plenty of little Grand Masters Junior... And the next books in the LW series would be about one of his sons. (Oh man, I need to get some rest there, I'm delirious )

(Oh man, I need to get some rest there, I'm delirious ) Actually, since Vashna's body was destroyed but all and sundry want to bring him back to "life", I don't think having a physical body is necessary for any kind of resurrection. Additionally, what if the Grand Master was a woman?? Maybe Sommerlund is a very permissive society, enough so to allow two women to marry, but having kids would be REALLY difficult. Maybe there's some even more advanced skills that could help in that regard . . .

About Vashna's body, I never heard that his body was destroyed. If I remember well, after his death, his body was thrown away in the Maakengorge, so it is possible that it is still down there.

The Maakengorge is filled with lava. Even though it's stated that only the Sommerswerd can kill a Darklord, wasn't he already dead when he got chucked in? So his body could have been burned, liquified, or whatever happens to things that get chucked in lava (Evil folks, please experiment at home, write an essay and submit it to me, no later than two minutes from now. Thanks).

Well, thinking back to my geology class, the Maakengorge is probably filled with granitic magma, so if Vashna was made from plagioclase feldspar, pyroxene, olivine, and amphibole (and maybe a little bit of biotite), he would be OK. If he was just flesh and blood, yeah, he would be screwed.

Is that true? I always thought of it as a deep, yawning chasm that stretched for miles and was considered "bottomless" until I read the Legends book, which did say it was filled with lava. Have to leave for work, so I can't check my canon sources. Anybody know which is correct???

According to The Chasm of Doom (which I would take as canon any day over the dreaful The Sacrifice of Ruanon: Nope, no mention of lava there. (And furthermore: Nope, no mention of rape or suicide in the original source material either. Dever - 1, Grant/Barnett - 0.)
