So You wanna know about the Story of the Universe. Well it’s big. The Story, I mean...not the Universe *^.^* however the Universe or UniversES as is stated many times in this series is a rather large collection of events, histories and secrets that all take place "under the Cracked Sky". By the way, the Universes have a crack in them. Not doing much save looking ominous but it has an over arcing reason for hanging out there, somewhere off in the far reaches.

Here, this draft is about what happens on the world of Dureyr (dur-rur) during a certain tumultuous period in the planet’s history. In this draft you’ll get to know a living, breathing--hurting--world that’s undergone mending several times before with no success. It will take a certain man with a certain vision of a young woman with wolven blood to do it right.

The series, this book in particular, is rife with lore and languages that I’ve created, so hang on to your faces. At the same tolken it’s not smothered in them. The world is felt, seen, touched, talked to...sniffed. These characters live, love, lose, die, forget, learn, and mature.

I would love for you all to experience The Story of the Universe and love it the way I have loved it for a near quarter century.

Moreover I am a Geek Gamer Soldier Nerd (yes it’ s a nod to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy but it’s what I am) an avid Geek, a hardcore Gamer, a mindful Soldier and a complete Nerd.
• Where did this idea came from?
• Years of reading TSR books, Lovecraft, Herbert and Howard and an UNENDING desire to tell stories. Been doing it since I was 2, might as well keep going.
• How you can help shape this draft?
• I like visual aids since i’m an artist also. Let me know what sketches you want to see in the book. ".....and charts...so many charts." (that’s a joke from the book if you read it.)

As a Note the first Arc is 90% done, so I’m looking forward to its completion and your enjoyment of it! It is VERY LONG so I’ve had the idea to break it up into 3 books of about 290 pgs. I have material for about 5 or 6 other Arcs in order to complete the full Story of the Universe but they will cover 1. different genres and 2. different mediums. (Hint: I am a comic artist.) So this is the first Arc I’ll be concentrating on.

I do thank you for considering my lil corner of the world and do be good to you.
