I have one overall comment on this AAR so far, is that we seem to be getting very little sense of the chronicler's personality in it so far, other than he obviously approves of Leon. One of the fun things about chronicles is that the chronicler is another character a writer can play around with. Just a thought.
stnylan said:Well you don't need to do that, but you can make assumptions about the personal opinions of the chronicler regarding religion, nationalities, and the characters themselves, even if they are sometimes hostile to their own side, so to speak. To that degree the larger potential timeline really doesn't matter. He can regard Leon as a great leader or Catholics of the time as evil, even if he is a Catholic and Leon's reign ends up in disaster!
