Just what happened to the city of Old Eagleholm after the events of the Cymrian Saga? For that matter, what happened to Idun Village? Centuries later, Idun’s most famous son returns home – with a few new friends…
People have sometimes asked me a very good question: since there was no big historical event, and no magic involved, just how did humans and griffins wind up living together? It’s something the books never really delved into. So I decided to tell this tale and solve the mystery for everyone.
WARNING: Spoilers for The Fallen Moon, again.
What was that horrible creature Bran saw at the Withypool fighting pits, and could it have anything to do with Skade and Arenadd?
WARNING: This story contains spoilers for The Griffin’s War. Do not read it if you haven’t read the first three books yet!
What happened to Bran after the war, and before the beginning of The Shadow’s Heir? Why did he end up living alone and disgraced? This is Bran’s story, and the story of the fall of the Redguard family.
WARNING: Do not read this story if you haven’t read the Fallen Moon trilogy. This story is intended to be read between The Griffin’s War and The Shadow’s Heir, and contains major spoilers for the entire Fallen Moon trilogy.
This is the story of the last days of Eagleholm. What happened to the city after Arenadd left, and what happened to Roland? Find out in this sad story.
This story is the odd one out. It has never been posted online before, but was written for and published in an issue of Aurealis Magazine, where it was even given an illustration! Now, for the first time, you can read it here.
Arren’s father Cardock proved to be a surprisingly popular minor character in the books and now, for the first time, you can read his own backstory, and the story of his father Skandar – the man whose name would later be given to a certain black griffin.
NOTE: One reader wasn’t sure how old Cardock is in this story. The answer is, about ten years old or so.
The story of how Arren met Flell. This was originally the last story posted before the release of The Dark Griffin, making it the immediate prequel. To find out what happens after this, you’ll have to buy the book!
How did Arren become Eagleholm’s Master of Trade? As it happened, only by showing the first signs of the dark side that would eventually consume him. This is the story of the beginning of the end, and the death of Arren’s innocence.
