The Lost Heir Trilogy

I’m glad you are bringing this work of art back into the daylight, it was an honor to beta test this story the first time around.

All I have to say about the title debate is to make sure the purchaser knows it is a part of a set (Kind of hard with just the title) and not to look like a first part of sequels (A whole independent story itself, that is tied together by a common theme) .

Just so long as we don’t have to play the trope of the lost king returns true then this has a lot of promise and after growing up in exile I think my character would relish his freedom too much to ever want to be burdened with the resposibility of governing a nation (have you seen how even our elected office holders tend to age far too rapidly, and if they don’t it’s usually a good indicator they are puppets or very lazy) and prefer to seek out more magical power or knowledge instead. As such I’m very curious to see what the wizard and sage career paths have to offer.

I hope that this goes ahead, cause I loved the demo!

Daria makes me think of a person. I loved this game when I first played and am excited to hear you’re returning to it.

So far I enjoyed all the games you have released
So take all the time you need. Just please if possible add
necromancer and undead pets in there since I really only
enjoy Warhammer Chaos Daemons then so many
fantasy ones. Thats just me…

The artwork for The Lost Heir: The Fall of Daria is complete!

I have also finished the rough draft. It’s standing around 140,000 words, which is a nice number. I still have to finish proofreading a section and alpha test it myself. But, after that, I will be starting the beta test.

Come on over to my page to see the artwork and Like the page while you’re there!

Keep your ears open for the call for Beta Testers. I’ll link the new thread to this one when it happens.

The Lost Heir: The Fall of Daria:
You are the young prince/princess of Daria. On a tragic night, you witness the murder of your parents and the destruction of your kingdom. A trusted advisor helps you to escape the palace. As the lost heir, you will have the opportunity to learn many skills as you plot to avenge the deaths of your parents and eventually rebuild your stolen kingdom. Set in a world of swords and magic, this will be the first part of an exciting new trilogy where your progress will be saved from one story into the next.

It will be several months before it’s released, but it’s coming along nicely.

Thanks for the update looking forward to the beta(also What! we have a like button)

Lucid · 2014-10-12T22:52:15.046Z

Very close now!

I wrote another 37,000 words that will be part of The Lost Heir 2: Forging of a Kingdom

I wanted to make sure I was happy with the transition. I’m glad I did, since I made a lot of changes from Part 1 in the process. I see I finished the rough draft on Aug 27. Here I am, finished again! So, a bit of alpha testing (meaning that I need to test it a bit myself), after that, I’ll be starting the beta test.

Don’t ask to join beta yet, but look for the beta test thread to start soon. Maybe even tomorrow?

I am sorry. I have tried to resist the power of the pun but it is to strong.

The Lost Heir, to pay, or not to pay that is the question.

(Now please no one understand the joke and let me hide back under my rock).

Shoelip · 2014-10-13T18:27:06.933Z

Yup, I don’t get it. I assume it’s a reference.

Grapefruit · 2014-11-16T02:46:02.775Z

wanders into this forum a month late, notices the pun and bangs head on the wall Oh that pun hurts

Lucid · 2014-11-16T02:48:24.109Z

I have to admit, I missed the joke the first time. But, reading it again, NOW I get it!

Shoelip · 2014-11-16T02:56:52.416Z

Is it a Hamlet reference? I mean obviously it is, but I get the feeling that was just due to the fact that that line has become a general cliche no longer attached to it’s original character…

Grapefruit · 2014-11-16T03:02:49.020Z

@Shoelip It’s not a Hamlet reference. It’s a hair joke.

Shoelip · 2014-11-16T03:20:07.813Z

Hm… nope, still don’t get it.
