Do not fear progress is still being made!  I've been been busy with some other things but I've been trying my hardest to make this damn thing happen. It's just hard on a logistical planning story wise at the moment because how I want to direct this is basically going to direct the next 40 posts or so that make up this chapter and the end of the "warlord story". But I've come up with a bit of a hefty case of writer's block because frankly I have no idea how I'm going to make this work.... So things have come to a standstill of sorts as I beat my head against a wall. And so my previously set deadline soared by. I'm very sorry for this inconvenience and I hope to resolve it sooner rather than later.
