The Legend of Cynder: Rise of the Dragon Cult

Queen Cynder · Oct 26, 2012 1:38 PM

This book is a sequel to my Spyro Fan-fiction: The Legend of Cynder: The Precursor Legacy. It will take place 4 generations after the ending of the novel; with Spyro and Cynder's subsequent descendents being the main characters.

I'm just gonna move fanfiction threads to Spyro Chat. Let me know if you want an invitation to the fanfiction group.

Queen Cynder · Oct 27, 2012 12:49 AM

yeah, that'll be great. a chance to discuss my fan fiction with like-minded people and to look over and read theirs.

Stormy · Oct 27, 2012 2:47 AM

It says you're already in the group. Did I add you already and just forget? XD

Queen Cynder · Oct 27, 2012 3:55 PM

yeah i guess so....or i forgot i'd already joined....either of those possibilities have merit.

Queen Cynder · Oct 30, 2012 2:17 PM

Ok, now i have a summery of what i intend to put in this new book of mine, though it does also roughly summarize my previous work-it being the sequel. I should probably post a timeline of the events that occur within the universe i created around the Spyro Games.

Queen Cynder · Nov 07, 2012 2:19 PM

Ok...so I'm almost done with the introduction of it and set to begin the first chapter. I've started working on a timeline encompassing the events within the universe, though it is not yet finished. When Complete, it will span millions of years.

How is it coming along?

Queen Cynder · Nov 15, 2012 1:55 PM

I begun the chapter, called "Emergence", with a dragon's egg hatching in a specially built nursery structure. In the Timeline i cited in my earlier reply, i wrote that In her elder years, Cynder and Spyro founded the Cydonian Dynasty, though the story line takes place 800 years, 4 generations after that event. The hatching dragon is the heir of said Dynasty. If you would like a description of this structure, I'll be more then happy to make one, though i will warn you, it is quite detailed.

Swaffy · Nov 15, 2012 5:14 PM

Detailed, yeah. I was about to say, it seems like you thought this stuff out
quite a bit. I guess that's good if you want to create an immersive
environment for your readers. It seems like you also have a timeline.

Queen Cynder · Nov 15, 2012 11:06 PM

yes i do, and it spans millions of years. I also expand on a brief history of the "Precursor Civilization", who were explicitly detailed in The Legend of Cynder: The Precursor Legacy , my previous novel, though i did not talk about them on the topic ( My Spyro Fan fiction), but they will be mentioned in this one as well, as the technology employed by the more developed of my political factions use technology reverse engineered from their artifacts.

Tier7: Pre-Industrial (tribal-late Renaissance)
Tier6: Industrial
Tier 5: Atomic (WW2)
Tier 4: Space Age
Tier 3: Space-Faring
Tier 2: World-Builder
Tier 1: Trans-Sentience

Tyran- Tier 1-creators of life in the galaxy.
Precursor- Tier 2- One of the life forms created by the Tyrans, who later attempted to destroy them, leading to a war destroying both civilizations.
Proto-Atlantean Tier 3- ancient space-faring civilization that went into a decline after it's interplanetary colonies rebelled and waged war against them
Nidapiya Tribe-Tier 7- ancient tribal society that is fiercely loyal to their tribal traditions and hostile to all outsiders.
Cheetah Tribe Tier 7, Later Tier 3-as Tribe of sentient Cheetahs living in small, isolated villages, towns, and cities; they are later forced to industrialize.
Coalition of Civilized Governments-Tier 3, later Tier 2- 29th Century Humanity and their expansive interplanetary empire.
Dragon Confederation late Tier 7, later Tier 3- a confederation of city-states. They are ruled from Warfang via the Cydonian Dynasty, led by Cynder and her descendents.
Atlantean Confederation-late Tier 3- an expansive intergalactic empire. the southern half of the planet's principal continent is under their control.

This is a list of the factions found within The Legend of Cynder: Rise of the Dragon Cult. Most of the book is centered on the interactions between their cities, faction leaders, and important events. Citizens of the major cities and towns of each political faction are able to recall their entire history, and will react if they are told they were under attack.

Queen Cynder · Nov 25, 2012 5:24 PM

Ok, I've begun adding details to the setting of the current chapter-Emergence. most of the details deal with the main setting itself, others with the time period. Right now, that setting is Warfang's palace, and I have added details on two of the palace's buildings, the nursery structure, which i mentioned earlier, and a large cathedral to a tribal god called the Creator. I also state that there are two tall towers that overlook the palace-but their entrances are sealed.

you know, i like that you're giving these regular updates. but will there ever be a chance for us to actually *read* the fanfiction you write? i mean, it's just, you talked a lot about the last one too, and how much effort went into it, but i don't remember reading anything from it, or even a link anywhere to do so. unless that one snippet was from that story, but i think it was from this one.

Queen Cynder · Nov 26, 2012 5:57 PM

I did give a little part of that one, part of the chapter detailing the siege of the city in that one, and i will give you some here. i was a little hesitant since i only have 1 chapter in TLOC: Rise of the Dragon Cult, versus The Precursor Legacy, where i had far more progress already invested in it, and therefor could reveal more of it.

Introduction: The Legend of Cynder: Rise of the Dragon Cult

I've started a second chapter, called "Ivory and Obsidian" which is intended to flesh out the events that happened after the end of The Precursor Legacy, but before Rise of the Dragon Cult. It's primary setting will be the two principal structures of the Palace-the Ivory and Obsidian Towers, and their associated complexes of buildings. all i have so far is that both were abandoned immediately after the events in The Precursor Legacy, so expect to hear about them often.

Queen Cynder · Dec 23, 2012 6:48 PM

Here is what i have so far for the chapter.

This is still a work in progress, and as such this text will be subject to subsequent alteration and change.

Queen Cynder · Jan 31, 2013 8:20 PM

I've worked a bit on the aformentioned chapter, though it is still incomplete but vividly detailed. An example is a massive chapel in the Obsidian tower. Two entire pages of text are devoted to it's description.
