November is coming... bust out the dictionary and the writing fingers...


Morinmont
by Meltintalle
NaNoWriMo 2014

The builders promised that Morinmont would stand for a thousand years or more. Their foresight did not encompass technological advances. Hugh Morin and his sister Edith rally to the challenge of rebuilding in a world that isn't sure it needs them.

OR
Some sort of fantasy about a brother and sister who find themselves on a quest for justice with the usual sort of rag-tag companions: a mercenary, a thief, a clown, a cute kid and a dog. It may also include making friends with an antagonist and a lawyer.

Characters:
Major
  • Hugh Morin (our hero): a sober and methodical lad
  • Edith Morin (Hugh's sister): equally responsible
  • John Lackland (the mercenary): historical name apropriation ahoy
  • Woodbine Quarryman (Hugh's best friend and John's apprentice): better known as "Biney"
  • Tansy Quarryman (Biney's little sister): the cute kid
  • Vera Key (Edith's maid): how does she know John, anyway???
  • Prowler: the dog
Minor
  • Prince Falco: seems he likes Edith...
  • Mellis Cedarline: seems she likes John
  • Melliot Cedarline (Mellis' brother): the lawyer
  • Princess Verity of Ce'lestedome: has disappeared under unfortunate circumstances
  • John's worst enemy (works for Prince Falco): isn't a very nice guy
  • Lord Morin (Hugh and Edith's father): might even survive the story
Yes, I believe this makes three times I have used the name Hugh for the protagonist. I have no excuse nor desire to change. No, this is not a rewrite of anything from February. Yes, I have a plan. (Well, half a one, anyway. And a rough map. That's got to count for something.)
