I've come up with several secondary characters and am getting a feel for their personalities. I've also thought up some ideas for the opposition. I have a good idea of what the opposition wants. I think it is a well-intended goal, not a cartoon evil-for-evil's-sake that one too often sees in fantasy. The conflict will be generated by their methods causing prob...I hav...
