[QUOTE="arkwright, post: 8246057, member: 6925177"] Good stuff. Here's a few things they may want to think about; [LIST] [*]Crisillyir has its own Dreaming with (presumably) its own fey, much like the rest of the world [*]Nico may have been trained at the military colleges of Sid Minos, and delved the mysterious catacombs a little [*]There is a long-abandoned Clergy church in Flint, per Book 2 [*]Given the modus operandi of the Family, the Flint patriarch is likely very well known in the city's Clergy community [*]It may be good to work together to come up with some concrete teachings and ideologies for the Clergy, to help drive philosophical debate and personal conflict. In particular, look for the list of Clergy vices/virtues found in the expanded Book 4 dungeon. [*]For 'Rival', consider the godhand who has a small role in Book 7 and Book 11. [*]Also, godhands are a thing [*]For 'Teacher', consider the prominent female clericist in Book 4. Alternatively, Savina Tullius, who was Risuri and is now prominent Clergy. [*]The Clergy have a very different understanding of the stars/planes than the Skyseers [*]Would be good for Nico to have an opinion on Elfaivar, Elfaivarans, the Elfaivaran slave trade and the Great Malice, as those are some of the most prominent elements in the entire AP. Even starting in Book 2, with Gale. [*]In my opinion, the AP should show Risur to be more fey-interested. Fey politics and celebrities should fill Risuri newspapers. I would put this down to fey politics and public figures not being established until later books. Consider emphasizing how much the fey matter to Risur and Flint and tie in direct figures from the Unseen Court and the like to help drive Nico's relationship with them. [*]As Cloudwood denizens, Nico's family probably have opinions on Flint's industrialization [*]Also: Nevard Sechim, Cloudwood bandits. [/LIST] Basically, it's some good independent work, though for my personal tastes I would suggest more tie-ins with direct AP and world material. Gotta avoid establishing something about the world in the independent work that is contradicted by the AP later. I'm sure you were probably going to do a little of that anyway, Tormyr. [/QUOTE]
