Welcome to Murmur Series Guide Thread, which is designed to help make sense of what each respective series is, when it takes place, where it takes place, and so on... this is also a reminder to myself and so without further ado, let me begin.
Preface 1
The general law for the Murmur Series is that I won't be writing anything prior to the prologue in terms of chronology. The prologue being, Murmur of the First's Shadow, which roughly takes place from 2009 ~ 2010. This doesn't mean I won't be utilizing flashbacks or remembrances that happen before 2009, of course, some of Murmur's characters are hundreds upon hundreds of years old and have lived through a lot and have plenty to reflect upon and call back to. On top of this general rule, Murmur takes place across three Realms [and the realms which are in between them relatively speaking...]...
After the prologue there are stories which take place in different realms / parts of the universe, often at the same times. Of course, this picture isn't very clear as Murmur of the Lodestar's Web gets revised into its final form, and Murmur of the First's Shadow gets pushed out. Here is the current scope of what I have planned.
Chronological Order
Murmur of the First's Shadow -- This sets into Motion the events of both Lodestar's Web and Scratched world, which is why it is first. Even if there aren't a great number of carry-over characters.
V
Murmur of the Scratched World **PART ONE** -- This is the "Naia" branch from the prologue, which obviously has to pick up before Murmur of the Lodestar's Web because the prologue ends around 2010 // and Lodestar's Web starts in the spring of 2012. Scratched world **PART ONE** starts in the fall of 2011 when people start to go missing.
V
Murmur of the Lodestar's Web **PART ONE** -- This shouldn't need much introduction, but Lodestar's Web starts in the Spring of 2012. PART ONE ends exactly a year from when it started, the Spring of 2013.
V
Murmur of the Scratched World **PART TWO** -- There is some overlap here, but Murmur of the Scratched world actually begins in the Spring of 2012 (same as Murmur of the Lodestar's Web PART ONE... but it ends much later, spanning the course of 3 years, ending somewhere in 2015. This story involves characters who were in Lodestar's Web PART ONE that aren't in Lodestar's Web Part TWO.
V
Murmur of the Lodestar's Web ** PART TWO** -- As expected, part two picks up right where part one leaves off, in the spring of 2013. This series also goes on for three years, ending in 2016.
V
-- This currently unnamed series takes place on Aikalia, and is set to be more broad in what it covers. This story is set to go from 2016 up until the start of Meifiki Island, which is around 2026 ~ 2031 depending.
V
Murmur of the Silent Haven -- This is a Naia Story which takes place around 2031, several years after Scratched World PART TWO. I'm not going to say much because it would just spoil Scratched World.
V
Murmur of Meifiki Island -- This takes place on Aikalia with an EMPHASIS on the survivors of Lodestar's Web (if you want to call them that)... Meifiki Island doesn't really end...
V
Murmur of the Lodestar's Wrath -- Honestly I have no idea what this is going to look like, or if I will be changing this later, or if I will even be alive and writing by the time I get this far...
