Iolon

Beginning in 7th grade and inspired by the works of J.R.R. Tolkien I began writing a history of my own mythical land. Accompanying that, of course, came my own alphabet and language and later a trilogy of movies (which I must stress are only very loosely related to the heart of my mythology). I have written over the years a whole host of... well, most cannot be called short stories. Most are in fact historical summaries of events as one would find in a history textbook. The others were written long enough ago that they could use another pass.

All of this is to say that in the coming weeks and months I am going to pull these papers out of my filing cabinet (yes, I have a filing cabinet) and re-write them. You will see the result of those rewrites here.

The name of the land, by the way, is Solit. If you are confused about the title of this post, Iolon is the mythical kingdom around which most of the action of the stories takes place. Think of it sort of like Rome, except with archers instead of legionnaires. Because archers are cool.

edit (9:27 PM) - I want to clear up one thing because the font is not very clear. The name is pronounced eye-oh-lawn. That first letter is an 'i'.
