This is the fourth story involving Veledar and his group of minions. This begins the Emperor Arc...Where the adventure goes from just getting a silly book back to discovering a threat to the entire world...-This is an old work of mine and doesn't have my more modern type of editing or story flow. Chapters might go on forever. Just a warning before you go and read it. :D.I do intend to go back and rewrite this one day, but it's not going to be soon. If you're coming here after reading City of Light (The third book with Veledar) Hey, welcome back!The meat of the story stays the same, although things have changed ever slightly when I rewrote the third book. This story doesn't take those into account.-Spoilers for Book 3Veledar's book ended up burning. He lost it.Gus died for good, he's not coming back. His soul was used to create a stone.Natassa was not a character, she was added later.Skywing and Arcturus have not made up yet, they met briefly. (I used future stuff with Skywing in parts for book 3 rewrite)They ended up fighting that metal dragon in Nigel's lair, however the group never met Nigel. Nigel wasn't a big part of Lumara like he ended up being.They are still going to Struport, but for different reasons. It's still going to wind up them looking for the next step. They never got the plans for the uniter.Shandalar is a high-elf, not a Sunelf like she was in the rewrite.Arcturus didn't kill the king, instead it was his daughter, Nivra at the end during an epilogue part.
