Exaltation to Exile: Update Log

Hello readers! This is Bub-Omb, and I decided that instead of posting a quick author's note at the end of every chapter that I make a change, and at the end of the most recently posted chapter in hopes of it being seen, I will instead keep this log with all of the changes. That way, if you are interested in seeing what changes I may have made to previous chapters, you can see so here without reading every author's note I have posted. I will date the changes, write a brief description of what was changed, and why I changed it. I promise that I will not be "retconing" my own story very much, but sometimes I write things that may not have kept all of the lore in mind, or I may have overlooked something. Plus, being written through multiple perspectives occurring simultaneously, even I do get a little confused as to what all is supposed to be going on, but I will do my best to fix any chronological errors that may occur.

Lastly, please have read all of the chapters before checking this log. Don't want to spoil things for yourself now. Changes are made by the time they are posted in this log, so you won't actually have noticed anything different if you have started reading past the dates of the changes. Thanks for the patience guys! This is my first story, so I kind of expected to make some bloopers. I just hope that it isn't frustrating to the readers.

(1-15-14), Chapters 1-3A: So far any edits I have made have been mostly grammatical or spelling errors. I have made some small changes in the narration of the story, noticing that it seemed to flick between second and third person (being told the story, and hearing a story). I shifted things back on track to third person, as it was intended to be, in those parts. Nothing major, but it is a change nevertheless.

(2-7-14), Chapter 6B: Hello previous readers, I made a slight tweak to the conversation between Garen and Riven when Riven asks about why Garen left the League of Legends. I had intended for it be a moment where he reveals his intentions, not the act itself, as was done back on the boat ride to Zaun in chapter 4A; however, upon reading the conversation over, I noticed that he did not refer to the event as if she was already aware. So I made a very small change to the paragraph in order create the switch.

(3-13-14), Chapters 4A, 4B, and 5B: Chapter 4 did not hold consistent in length between the different perspectives, despite the fact that they are supposed to be happening simultaneously. So, the very beginning of Chapter 4A was tweaked to make the ocean travel time a little bit longer (which was probably needed due to how big the ocean is) and CHAPTER 4B WAS EXTENDED. An additional 1800 words or so were added in to provide a story on how Lucian and Senna got their boat to travel to the Shadow Isles with. This helps to provide some more character relationships and background on the couple, and insures that the time frame that the reader is viewing their perspective lines up with that of the other champions' perspectives. To hold consistency with the addition, part of the beginning of Chapter 5B, where how Lucian and Senna acquired the boat from friendly locals, was removed.

(4-5-14), Chapter 4A: There was a typo towards the end of the chapter where the man giving Garen the Zaun pills said "You won't be happy". This was meant to read "You won't be hungry", implying that the pills will help them with hunger, not that they are a depressant of some sort, and the dialogue has been changed to the latter.

(5-30-14), Chapter 5D: This chapter was the only one in Part 5 that did not take place over the course of two days. So, just to keep things consistent, I made a note in the last two paragraphs of the chapter to infer that it did take place over the same time frame. The only real difference is that Zilean takes a few days to rest after the events of chapter 5D. I also added in and tweaked a few of Zilean's thoughts in the closure of the chapter.

(9-15-14), Chapter 2: I am going to do one last rereading of my entire story before I continue onwards to finishing the story, to insure that I do not accidentally create any plot holes, inconsistencies, or leave any loose ends hanging. That being said, I am reworking chapter 2A to fit the narrative style that the rest of the story holds. I am removing some very random thoughts and small tidbits of conversation that detract from the story. Such instances include Garen thinking about creeks, money, and considering eating bugs before searching for wolves. Most of these are done due to the fact that they were Garen's thoughts coming from the narration, which are supposed to be separate, and did not make have any logical flow when taken apart.

(12-15-14), Chapter 5D: Yeah, this chapter again, sorry. I took note that Ezreal observes a gallon of blood resting on the floor of the Institute of War where Talon and Garen fought. Assuming Talon weighs approximately 180 lbs or 80 kg, he should have just over a gallon and a half of blood in his body at any given time. Losing a gallon would be lethal on the spot. So I adjusted this to half a gallon to be a little more anatomically correct.

(12-16-14), Chapters 5D and 9E: Secondly, I added the line "He pocketed the translation book still resting in his lap before" just before the sentence "he got up and walked out of the room, leaving Lux in the middle of his floor to stare at the locket and pray that Ezreal knew what he was doing." This slight tweak will make more sense in chapter 9E, which also has the change from "He examined it carefully as he pulled out a scrawled note from his pocket among the other stray pieces of paper and junk he carried around on his person." To "He examined it carefully as he pulled out his small translation book from his pocket among the other junk he carried around on his person." The next sentence was omitted and a few words were tweaked to line up with the change. This just helps fluency and consistency within the story.

(12-30-14), Chapter 6E: Towards the end of the chapter, Jarvan tells Ashe and Tryndamere that he will be sending a few champions and small Demacian squad into the Freljord as assistance. This was not followed, seeing as Jarvan himself went along with the champions, and no soldiers joined the crew. I have changed the dialogue accordingly.

(1-27-15), Chapters 6C and 7C: Vessaria Kolminye's name was repeatedly misspelled as "Vesseria Colmineye". For clarification sake I am mentioning here that it was a typo and not a different person.
