Crystalcrown Chronicles

by Paul Thompson

Notes

Released in November of 2002, Crystalcrown Chronicles was an effort to explore the near end of the ELotH timeline based on sparse existing references within the canon cycle and the thumbnail sketches of characters only present in the CCG.

The result was the best source of information and narrative available about the events of The Ending Times, although unfortunately this era did not particularly excite most fans of the 13 novel series as it contained few of the places and characters featured prominently in that series, given the 16,500 year lapse between stories. Notably at least 6 of the fans of the CCG were quoted as being extremely pleased by the book.

The ending of the book is intentionally vague and ends with the infamous betrayal. Several fan works have attempted to extend the story beyond this point but most have been poor attempts that have not gained much of a following within the community.

Characters

• Floor the Stupid, Half-witted brother of Princess Crystalcrown, perhaps picks up on more than he is given credit for.
• Princess Crystalcrown, Good Hearted, although possessing a rather sheltered view of the world.
• Llorllthos, Brave Nevelost Healer, and trusted companion of Princess Crystalcrown
• Sakengaarg the Forge Master of Crystalcrown, Dwarven Forge-King, and trusted companion of Princess Crystalcrown
• Elanfariestel the Easily Convinced, member of the court of Princess Crystalcrown, recipient of ultimately rather misplaced trust by Princess Crystalcrown
• Merm the Cruelish Prankster, member of the court of Princess Crystalcrown
• Jonnah Goes-Along-With-It, member of the court of Princess Crystalcrown
• Dark Master, a shadowy figure with a dark motive

Locations

• Mount Wor

(others?)

Misc Notable Events

• Several clandestine incidents of Bell Caging by Merm and Jonnah.
• A rather unfortunate case of Swordworms
• Dagon's 8th Sword Of Power Against Wood makes a surpising appearance
• Brief mention at the end of the book is made to the Crystal Order, founded by Llorllthos and Sakengaarg.
