Greetings! Welcome to <em>The Curse of Feylund<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a whole story behind how this fan fiction came to be, and I could doubtless go on for several paragraphs detailing it. But I won\u2019t do that. You didn\u2019t come here to listen to me ramble on about my writing adventures. You came here to read, and I\u2019ll let you get to that soon. First though, there are some things you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, this story is a direct sequel to <em>Dilmir: A Tale of Feylund<\/em>. <em>Dilmir<\/em> was written back in 2013, and two sequels quickly followed, together making up the Feylund trilogy. However, shortly after posting those stories, I decided to delete them. The theme didn\u2019t sit right with me, and I believed at the time that I would convert those stories into novels one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I now know that is very unlikely. In mid-2019, I decided to repost <em>Dilmir<\/em>, the first story in the trilogy. I said that I would have to look at the two sequels, and possibly edit them, before I felt comfortable reposting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And finally, following some world-class hemming and hawing, we\u2019re here. I eventually had to just rewrite the entire story, instead of my original plan of merely editing the original sequel. I also plan on rewriting the final story in the trilogy, finally posting the Feylund trilogy once more in its entirety. If you\u2019re interested in exactly why I\u2019ve decided to take this somewhat more laborious path, there will be an Author\u2019s Note directly following this Introduction, explaining just that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onto this story itself. It\u2019s usually around this point in the introduction that I start warning you about what you\u2019re going to read. I\u2019m not going to do that this time. This story has no major flaws that I\u2019m aware of, and should just be a good straightforward read. Obviously it has some issues, but these are minor. This story is a sequel, and there is a recap of <em>Dilmir<\/em> following this Introduction, which should serve to jog your memory. If you\u2019ve never read <em>Dilmir<\/em> though, or if it\u2019s been a long time, I suggest you do so before reading this story. There are just some things in the story which I can\u2019t convey completely in a recap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s about all there is to say though. Sit back, allow your mind to immerse yourself in the world of Feylund, and prepare for a tale of elves and magic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aseleth, one and all! Greetings!
