Dracodar

Dracodar is that series of fantasy novels I have planned. I'm writing down a brief rough outline of the series while it's on my mind and the various towels and cloths are spinning. This is more of a note to myself then anything else.

Book 1, Operating title "The Prodigal Son"
Prologue, fall of Baelnazzar. Starts with Dreykellan's introduction to his heritage. Covers the following: his training, his pariah phase, his period serving as advisor to a goblin king under the name of "The Demon," his ascension to war chief, and his betrayal. Ends with him finding out that his heroism didn't make him any less of an outcast, and ends with him wandering off into the mountains.

Book 2, Operating title "The Light That Blinds"

Follows Makatiels journey into the military, then the Sanctified legion. Covers Dreykellans reported death at the hands of a demonic spellcaster in service to a goblin army. Covers the fathers descent into alcoholism. End with Makatiel being knighted and being sent off to kill "The Destroyer"

Ends with Makatiel's betrayal of his brother and the death of the destroyer.
