Prequel Novels

Although the ideas have yet to be fleshed out, there's a collection of prequel novels that I'm thinking about once the main epic is eventually finished.

(Book Idea 1)
Set five thousand years before the events of the Doom Of Man story arc and told through a historical narrative, this tells of the early days of mannish civilisation and the flourishing Eldar peoples who had created an already ancient civilisation in the wake of their predecessors' demise. The narrative spans hundreds of years, tracking the events of the impossibly old First Wars, when the Dark God first came to the world, a series of wars shrouded in myth and legend. This was a time when gods walked the earth, when Dragons flew in the skies and titanic armies waged war.

(Book Idea 2)
Again told through a historical narrative, this book charts the rise of Men and the two thousand years leading up and during the terrible First Cataclysm.
