Wrote nearly 3100 words on Legend of the Fallen Prince. Was an Ellacos PoV chapter.

Oh, who's Ellacos you ask? She's the last surviving Sea-Elf. Why does that matter? I'm glad you asked!

See, in the War of Eightfold Sorrows, the Sea Elves and and the Jans in particular fought back against the Kinslayer so fiercely to break his hold that after the war, the agents of the Kinslayer hunted them to near extinction.

Currently, there is one known Sea Elf (Ellacos), and the Jans live in hiding.

Yeah.

Hey, I never said it was a HAPPY story, did I?

Quite contrariwise! It's a dark, not happy story!

So with that chapter (chapter 10) it brings the wordcount to just under 31k words, and the main group hasn't:
Met
Left the inn
Got the main quest

Yeah... I uh... I read a lot of Tolkien and Robert Jordan. Bet you can't tell!
