Burning the Waste
Begun on Wednesday, September 18, 2002 8:31:17 PM, Chapter 3 was started on Monday, September 30, 4:59:55 PM was completed more than 4 days latter. I am unsure of the exact date for I have modified the story since then. The purpose of this index is to provide greater insight into the story or perhaps a finalization, something I've always desired to do.
I believed and still believe that the Amazon nation was not a frequent topic when it came to Diablo II fiction, thus my basis around it. The lack of dead on description of the cities themselves allowed my imagination to fill in the blanks.
Rathnial Dizharen
Originally, the main character was meant to be insane and psychotic, but circumstances required a different, more logical mind. His emotions was also a factor. 'izharen' means, in the Diablo world, something to the effect of "to adhere". Other than that, he last name has no real significance.
Vanessa Synad
A companion that developed into the second most significant character. Again, her last name has no real significance, other than it's a change of "Synod" to "Synad".
Gugan
The Chieftain of the Barbarian pilgrims. He can be symbolized as the fool who selfishly and naively brought the evils to the world.
Queen Amersa
Queen of the Isle of Lycander. She is indirectly the backdrop of Lycander's troubles.
Climax
The ending of Burning the Waste was short, too short. My impatience and eagerness to complete this story, and stay with my personal and public deadline of a chapter per week, gave the last few paragraphs an ending with choppy and cliché dialogue. I will be forever unhappy with the climax.
Music
