Special Notes: I made a major mistake in the new story being told. In the first chapter the High Priestess said there is no proof the Eagle has been hatched yet, and The White Raven responded, 'not yet, but soon'. That is incorrect and I'll have to go back and change the dialong. I don't know what I was thinking, I've never lost track of my own time-line before. Anyway, At this point in the time-line, the following reference points should put you on track. Weston is six years older than he was at the end of the story that saw him become the new Marshal General, meaning he is now 22 years old. The Egg Wes is taking care of, Cassie, the Herald, is six years old. Hero just turned sixteen and has left the farm with the sheriff. Jaco has just turned seventeen, and has left on his mission to the Gunslinger Base. Moeth and Raen are now 22 years old, and attending their last year at Raven University, and until yesterday were assigned to Custom's Orbit Patrol. The Eagle was hatched six years ago, hence the reason the White Raven wants to search for him, the Daraians have been unable to locate him. Jack and Garth were killed four years ago, don't know if I will tell that as a seperate story, or as a flashback in this story. Colton Cyness resigned from the Gunslingers four years ago when Jack and Garth were killed. Sionnach killed the false Emperor four years ago and took the throne after being tried by the Demonians for war crimes. Lord Raven has part of House Raven on Kitsune as part of the post-war treaty. The Kitsune-Demonian war lasted two years and ended four years ago. Demonia is the worst known ecological disaster in history, the clean up is expected to last centuries. The Tarlock you know the most, Blaze...still working on those details...I think I would have to go back a few years and insert him somewhere, just don't know. Oh, and what most people care about. Prince Mischief and Prince Malice are four years old. None of the details I've given you should be a surprise, they were all in the pre-drafts. So, no spoilers really. Now, something I'm still working on. The sentient ships will be in the story somewhere, probably not this one. And there will be some changes. Because the story has evolved. Something I've hinted at but haven't revealed yet is one of those changes. You heard the Demonians refer to 'The Dragon', alluding to a possible Demonian diety. No solid details yet.
