Aye, it has been slow-I am genuinely extremely surprised that it has even survived given the drag and time delays. It has, though, and I am still here.

The story is intriguing and going along well. I have admittedly done a [i]lot[/i] of tl;dr-however, this has more to do with the time-jumps than the post lengths themselves as many of the names' meanings were lost to me over the periods of inactivity so I understood very little of what I was reading.

I think a concise, bullet-point dictionary of major terms, people, places and a summation of what all has transpired thus far will be enough to clear that up at least on my end. Quite a lot of the posts, I just did not understand because I did not know which group, person, faction or incident they were referring to and nor did I know where to look to find out the answer.

Otherwise, I am up and ready to continue!
