As a general update on things, click on the spoiler on what to happen later on
<b>Spoiler</b> : <input type=''button'' value=''Show'' class=''spoilerButton''>Instead of the 15 volumes I planned out initially, I increased it to 30 volumes and a total of 9 Arcs for pacing reasons. Basically each Arch after the third will take around 2 years in in game time and the last volume will take place over a year in time.
Because of this, it will look something like this.
Arc 3: Year 4-5 (Level 200-300)
Arc 4: Year 6-7 (Level 300-400)
Arc 5: Year 8-9 (Level 400-450)
Arc 6: Year 10-11(Level 450-500)
Arc 7: Year 12-13 (Level 500-550)
Arc 8: Year 14-15 (Level 550-600)
Arc 9: Year 16 (Level 600-625)
So according to all of this the group will change class at Arc 3, Arc 5 and Arc 8. Also I more or less know what will happen in each Arc but not so much in each volume individually. Well this is going to take a loooong time to finish. The Unfortunate Fool was only 7 volumes long...well 8 if you include that the last chapter was a volume long either way, but this is almost four times the size in sheer content.
Which means I have a lot of time to develop my slow levelling characters (Yay) and explore some thing as well.
I''ll update this bit by bit when I have the time to do so.
Another interesting thing here...the original character design I made before I changed it

Seeing this, Sain and Shadow were originally designed to be female while Lyndis and Serena were meant to be male at first. Also their roles seemed more defined here...kinda got mixed and matched in the actual writing as I added more and more things on.
This will be more or less the place for questions and answers. Naturally there will be a TOC here as well.
