Gildenfire fun

I'm going to be re-re-reading the First Chrons sometime in 2006, and I was wondering at what point in Illearth War should I put that book down and begin reading Gildenfire? Where does it fit in the sequence--or where did SRD intend for it to fit? Ideas/suggestions/violent outbreaks welcome!

To me, the most logical point is directly after Korik's mission leaves Revelstone. I'm not sure what chapter that is, or if it's at the chapter break. But that's where I would put it in at.

agrred, after Koriks mission leaves revelstone. personally i read the entire 1st chrons before reading GF and i dont think it matters much when you read it. i dont think its a particularly relevant book and i was dissapointed with the (lack) ammount of insight it gives into the haruchai. IMHO.

WOW. That's the first time I've ever heard anyone say that. Different strokes, I suppose......

maybe i should read it again(its been about 4 years). i just recall being really disappointed after hearing about a book that was completely given over to the harruchai being soooo small and measley. i do remember stuff about their training which was quite interesting. i still cant see that it had that much relevance to the story though.

If memory serves, it works best as a flashback during the Bloodguard's recital of the disastrous mission. I think that's how the author intended it, as an insert.

After I regained consciousness, I searched for my Dissection of GF. If you're interested in a slightly more enthusiastic opinion...

Remember--it's a treat that we have any and all of G-F as it is. It was cut out of the book and, pretty much, thrown away before the small, measley unauthorized chapter was, somewhat, illegally revived even before it got to Daughters of Regals. Remember that it is only a chapter, prehaps only an exerpt--and, probably, not a fully realized one at that...

A short story in 'Daughter of Regals' By SRD A chapter that was 'deleted' from the IllEarth War detailing the hauchia mission to seareach.

The POV is Korik but having someone with nio contact to the real world undermines TC unbelief..

my opinion is to read it instead of, or before, the summary of Koric's mission to the group. Read Gilden Fire as a flash-back.

The Illearth War was originally 4 parts. Part II was Gilden Fire before its removal. Just read it at the end of Part I where Donaldson intended.
