Small Update

Lornian Reiver of Magon Karon
Haven't been able to get much concrete progress on the things of an Alba nature for ages, but thought I'd get a note down on what progress has been made.

The work on the campaign has moved on a couple of small steps  as far as the organisation and rules for the bigger picture is concerned, but not any on the maps but I should rectify this over the next couple of weeks.

Some small progress on troops (figures) for the Lornian armies has been made, concentrating on the Northern Lornian troops mainly but again more sorting out figures and so on.

I've gone through the mass of material that I produced fore Alba and going through it after a fair number of years, it was like discovering it all over again, which was like coming home. I did see that I was not happy to reproduce the vast proportion of it as I feel it is not in a state to publish or really reproduce as it stands. The bulk of the material being hand written ( in my rather stylised script that I did back then) and drawn and a big amount of it is showing the signs of age.

The upshot of this is that I will need to re-do the bulk of it in a form I'm happy with. This will need to be planned out and see what is worth re-doing and what can be discarded and what re-done. This will need to be revisited, but there is every chance that other than the map project, which stands by it's self, the focus will be, for obvious reasons (at least to myself) the Empire of Lorn.

The main drive which has had tangible results to date, has been on the book. A plot line has been sorted out and the majority of the characters have been decided upon. The opening chapter has been set both in location and structure so I aim to get busy with some writing over the next few weeks to actually get some words down and get this going.
