Chapter Dedications:

What does it mean to have a Chapter Dedication?

You get to call one Chapter your own!

I, the writer, do not exactly have editors. I'm only the author; sometimes I need opinions from the general populace. Chapter Dedication winners are those who have proven to be active enough and supportive enough of this story to give me a relevant opinion!

When you win a Chapter Dedication, you get to select one Chapter to be dedicated to you. Once you have it, no one else gets it!

Things Chapter Dedication Winners get?

-Bragging rights
-Completely okay with me to post in your own signature (THIS IS MY CHAPTER, BWAHAHAHA)
-If I need to call a vote or poll, instead of tallying up every poster, I just tally up your vote! (Yep, you're basically the electoral college)
-ETERNAL BRAGGING RIGHTS. What's rarer and harder to get than a Gold Shield? What is something S2 currently has no control over? CHAPTER DEDICATIONS.


Current Chapter Dedication Winners:

`Mushy
Serasboy
Cousins
Feroci0us
Thenre

Can you reupload that canon predator/ophelia romance scene from Savage?

Uh, What.

I don't know what you're talking about e.e

[[BRO]Cataclysma]

The Newerth lore from Savage written about the predator/ophelia romance before the great war. I can't find it anywhere, it was published on the Savage 2 website somewhere before but I think it was removed when they revamped the site.

Sorry, that must've been written by someone else.

I don't have it (nor do I know of it), but from what I know, it probably was inconsistent or collided with the canonical plot, and was therefore removed for that reason.

It was definitely canon, as I said, it was hosted on the Savage 2 website for a good amount of time as official lore. Not sure what's going on here buddy.

That was simply my guessing. You are asking the wrong person about that lore.

Hey, no problem, just figured you were the goto lore guy for the HoN universe. Thanks anyway.

[[Yosh]CKMo]

= =" actually, from what I know, S2 staff doesn't even agree amongst themselves about Lore. The scripts I were allowed to see even have collisions and inconsistencies, which I either avoided including or came up with a solution to patch up.

[[Yosh]CKMo]

Bumping for the older readers that check at different times.

I tried my best to google around and look for it, but nothing comes up, man. Sorry, I tried.

[Kohun]

Duder predator and ophelia that would be something to read about



dont judge

dont judge

I am sorry if it seemed that way, but I was not judging, simply expressing doubt that it ever existed.

[Kohun]

Nah it was more like i wanted to see some action between ophelia and predator that i didnt want to be judged for

I remember seeing you in beta didnt know you were still working on the lore you must really love HoN

[[Yosh]CKMo]

I'll admit finalizing the plot took quite a while.

I don't quite remember you...

But there is nothing wrong with having our own preferences.

dude wtf happened to the predator ophelia. One moment he leaped on her and the next she was giving "Newerth's Blessing." Now i cant find the page anymore :[

[Jeroz]

Have you try to use wordpress? I find it to have significantly less ads and much easier to use.

One moment he leaped on her and the next she was giving "Newerth's Blessing."

rule 34 still applies.

According to Cataclysma, it was taken down.

No, I didn't (thanks for the advice)

However, I see nothing wrong with Yahoo (as of now), and it's actually quite time consuming to migrate.

[[LNEX]Suda]

The old thread was archived, so now this will be the main thread that I update from.

New readers,

I have been writing HoN Lore Part 1: Forest of Caldavar for a while (updated as regularly as possible). Before cries of inconsistency and/or complaints, I have been working tirelessly alongside Mark Yohalem (the original writer) to confirm my knowledge and background of the lore in order to make it as canon and keep it correct (plot wise). It's actually part of the reason why some updates take so long; I come up with an inconsistency with my plot (or I have to confirm something) and then I have to email Mr. Yohalem, then we work out what the problem is, and sometimes I have to redo the whole thing.

Additionally, new readers would be well advised to get up-to-date on the background lore I worked off of,

http://www.savage2.com/en/story.php

and then

http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/timeofheroes.php


For Older Readers,

I have migrated from Blogger to Associated Content, since I like their system better. Additionally, some people complained that Blogger was banned or restricted in their country, and I am pretty sure Yahoo is globally available.

Also, Blogger had a poor system where I didn't get correct statistics and page view numbers if no ads were clicked (they suck), and I didn't want to force the reader to be clicking ads just so I can see how good my story is doing. Yahoo does it better, and I don't think I will be changing back. Additionally, if you have any qualms with my migration to Yahoo, please let me know (for instance if it turns out Yahoo is banned in your country...)

For the old readers who actually paid attention to stuff, I did go back and edit quite a few things to fix plot holes later on, or that did not work well with the history. Maybe you'll spot them if you suddenly have an urge to read the older writings, but they are intended.


And without further ado, the chapters!

Chapter 2: The Extra Help
