Gilden-Fire is the famous chapter about Korik of the Bloodguard and his mission to Seareach that was part of the original manuscript of The Illearth War, but omitted from the published version. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
For those whom have not read it. It can be obtained in "The Daughter of Regals" and other short stories
It is a treat.

"What is your name?"
"That is another long story," the Giant returned and repeated, "What is your need?"
But Atiaran insisted dully, "Your name."
Again a gleam sprang from under the Giant's massive brows. "There is power in names."

I'm not sure if it would be wise to post Gilden-Fire in its entirety here, Cleveland. Shouldn't official permission be obtained first from Del Rey or whomever? We wouldn't want to get the Watch into copyright violation trouble.
Besides, ethically it should be up to SRD to decide whether or not he wants to release Gilden-Fire on the web, not us. And his website is a more appropriate home for Gilden-Fire than here. Sorry...I vote nay.

Besides, Gildenfire is now available as part of Daughter of Regal. I vote nay.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

I thought it was only a copyright issue if you paid for it, maybe wrong. Of course I wouldnt just post it regardless.

QUESTION:
Why wouldn't SRD just release the version of The Illearth War that incorporates the "Gilden Fire" outtake into the story? I for one would pick up another copy of TIW if that were the case...
DAMN I don't know what I did with my copy of "Gilden Fire"...

Because it would mean that there would be too many perspectives in the story.

And Korik's perspective undermines Covenant's unbelief, which is very important throughout Lord Foul's Bane and The Illearth War. It would also be hard to fit it in seamlessly.Loremaster wrote:MrKABC wrote:QUESTION:

Besides, SRD never wanted it published in the first place. It was an accident, and he has stated that he feels bad that people pay money for something out of his wastepaper basket. That's why he included in Daughter of Regals in the first place.

Yes, the standalone is illustrated.

No you don't... the illustrations in Gilden Fire were lame in my opinion... I didn't like the "warrior princess" appearance of Lord Shetra, and to me the stylized action of Korik leaping in front of an ur-vile just was laughable.variol son wrote:I wish the one in Daughter of Regals was .

I wish I still had that book though - I could have scanned a couple of the drawings so you could see for yourself...

Yes I do. 
I have read the illustrated version many times before, so i know what they're like. I just want them so I can say I've got them is all.
