Some background data before we begin.
JIN (Journey Into the North) is a storybook on YWS. It is currently inactive.
JIN is set in a world which has suffered a recent magical cataclysm. Normal magic as is commonly present in most fantasy stories has been disrupted and; for the most part; lost.
The story begins with a group of heroes assembled to go to the North. They go North, only to find that they need to install Prince Valin on the throne of the elves.
Standing in there way were priests of a magic order and the elves who had been corrupted.
The plot thickens even deeper when they find that there is a way to restore the old magical system. To do so, they need to get their hands on the Wizards Tome, a book which documents the original construction of the magical field.
Our heroes aren't the only ones interested though, the priesthood is also interested. They wish to capture the book and set up their own field, that only the priests know.
JIN ended as the two groups approached this magical tome.
At this point, the storybook died. This thread is to continue the story.
There were several plans involving what would happen next to the group, but none of them need to be present in the sequel if we so choose.
This isn't just for authors of JIN either. Anyone who wants to write in this upcoming sequel can help plot it.
In my writings of storybooks, I've noticed that it is hard to keep writers interested in storybooks for any period longer than three months. Maybe these were just the storybooks themselves, but it is probably a good idea to keep the story to something that can be completed within three months, even if it is only Part 1.
Using the part system, storybooks have survived for years at a time, with short breaks between each part.
Now, finally, the question part.
1. How does JIN end?
2. When does this sequel start compared to the end of JIN?
3. What is the object of the next sequel?
That's enough to start.
