I agree. Unfortunately, Glenna is a moon elf. However, this story has multiple major characters in my story. I think you will like Aalyn and her sisters, Thurdain and Illglan. Or, maybe, Forelain and Sulabha. They are black elves, or drow with onyx skin and and hair a variatybof platinum hued shades. And if not them, then Hlina Alvadottir, a dark elf. The dark elves are not the same wild elves whose skin tones range from a creamy mocha to a dark chestnut. Nor are they the black elves whose skin is an onyx to a silvery slate color. No, dark elves are a light earthy brown to a dark porcelain black with hair coloring that ranges from platinum blonds to green, blue, purple, to brilliant platinum sheened strawberrys, to dark browns and black. I can’ really do anything about Glenna and Silvain being moon elves, however, all I can say is their are a lot of other character that are what your looking for and they will be important too.
Cutting my eyes to look up, I broke away from suckling to look up in awe at the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Her skin glowed faintly white like the moon. She had a sharp jaw, a plump bee-stung mouth, a small turned up nose, long pointed ears, and eyes that were black orbs as vast and unending as the universe and filled with tiny filaments of light like stars and galaxies.

No I haven’t dropped it, but this is not a prewritten story. I am literally uploading chapters as fast as I write them.
I can certainly understand your feelings. However, I rarely go into back story unless the character is, or is going to be, pivotal later on. It must be Robert Jordan’s influence on me. He is one of my favorite authors. I don’t usually intend my cast of characters to be so huge. When conceptualizing this story I started off with Daniel Reas and his mother, Helena. Then there are 10 alpha testers in closing Daniel. All of them are sent to mostly the Verdant Realm, but not all of them. Each one has their own story and those that are influential to them that make up their party, and Viridian will have to gather all of them together. It will be like like ten parties joining forces to raid the final boss in a game. Hlina will be very important to Virdy from here on, and I am trying to be quick in summarizing what has happened to her since arriving in the Verdant Realm. With three of the alpha testers all having been born to noble houses, for better or worse, I wanted to tell Hlina’s story. Born a half-Alf in a poor village. Having to flee and live in the wild. Her life has not been very fanciful at all, rather it’s tragic, and how does this tragedy lead to her coming to be in the situation of being possessed by a being of the Abyss. Anyway, that’s all I wanted to say. I hope you continue enjoying the story!
It is not where it goes.
Thank you, I actually love the spelling being “Shahd” much more, but I chose to spell it phonically “Shahad” because first, this is a different world and I can do that; and second, I wanted the reader to read it and hear it in their heads like its pernounced.
"Then I give you the name Shahad. It means…"

Not the final chapter, I will be closing up all the threads. Calvin; Janice, Clair, Chastity, and Hannah; Mildred Smit and her daughters; Louisiana Dole; Kathryn Gorden; Randal, Donald, and Leon; and Fornasia Korrapatti. This is the final volume though.
Great question! Some IRL stuff came up that I have been dealing with, so I needed to take a break, step back, catch my breath, and reprioritize. I feel that WoftR is a great story and those that are following is steadily growing. It seems like a lot of people like it, however there are a lot that don't and have very poignant criticisms. So, I am doing two things at once and I am hoping you all can be patient with me as I go back to the first few chapters and make some changes. These changes do not affect the characters backgrounds or who they are at all. Summerset, Glenna, Viridian, and Silvain will remain completely whole as I have imagined them. However, I have just added, as of 7/6/2021, a whole new chapter 2 entitled "The Moon Priestess". Instead of giving a synopsis from Viridian's viewpoint, I am introducing Glenna Moonlilly as the Moon Priestess of Seline and tell her story starting 40 years before giving birth to Viridian. There will be 3 new chapters each one introducing a main characters influential to Viridian's life before he is even born! Then, I am going to rework the chapter "The Guardian" where the story picks up 18 months after Viridian's birth. So, I hope more than just you see's this post, and I sincerely hope that you enjoy the new chapter 2 - The Moon Priestess!
Don’t worry, it was just as Snippet. The trst is coming soon.
Thank you so much. I appreciate the feed back. I am trying to crank out the chapters as fast as I can. Not to make excuses, but rather to explain my circumstances; I work full time 40-45 hours a week and write in the evening after work, but also while working during breaks, lunch, stops, and pretty much anytime I am not driving or with a customer. However, some time life just won't let me write. Then there is also down time when I am burned out and can't think at all anymore, and family time. Anyway, I have 4 book I started posting here, and revising them took a lot more of my time and effort that I thought it would. I have 3 more stories percolating in my head as well, but I have stopped work on all of them so that I can work on War of the Races and The Family Garden. I am now literally writing a chapter for one story then turning around and writing a chapter for the other. Then they have to be proofread and edited. So, I will endeavor to keep up the quality of the story first, and then speed up the release time. Thank you to all of you that love this story as much as I do, and thank you for your patience!

Daniel Reas Age: 23 Profession: Game - Alpha Tester Social Status: Single/Virgin While testing a new game he is transported to a new world know as the Verdant Realm. It is filled with Gods and Goddesses, Elves, Dwarves, High-humans known Aesir, Vanir and Barbarians, Animals, Dragons, and more. However, the world is not what it seems, and a foretold cataclysm may yet destroy it before he's strong enough to save it. ——(!)—— The backdrop of this fantasy world is both beautiful and harsh. The Prime Races escaped Midgard just before a global cataclysm at the height of their Age of Science, Sorcery, and Pagan Religion. of their pagan religious culture. Within there side-slip dimension called the Green Realm, Verdant Realm, or the Garden. They grew side-by-side with mankind on Midgard until present day. 5000 years later their culture is steeped in pagan traditions that have led to prostitution being sanctioned and promoted by various churches, and very open and even incestuous life-styles. The ratio of monogamous to polygomist relationships is about 50/50. Harems and reverse harems are equally commonplace. Given the very limited animal resorces they brought with them they used science and magic to splice every animal species with Alari, Dvergr, or Giant DNA creating hybrids named the Animals, Insects, and various marine life. Later they spliced certain tree’s DNA into Alfari thereby creating the Arboreals. Even in a fantasy there is oppression, racism, religious anamosity, political corruption, and corporate greed. In the Garden Realm the fantastic is everywhere, and sometimes it’s hard to live but brutally easy to die. (Warning: This is an adult fantasy with graphic adult themes and scenes. Graphic nudity, sex, violence, and language.)55 Chs 1.1k Colecciones

I think the speaker was being sarcastic.
"Now," She purred as she pulled away, "Let me finish or you will be stuck here all day with an umbilical cord hanging out of you!"
