I must say, it would be a bit fascinating to see things as they existed 
at the very beginnings of the Empire.

I mean, before the Orb was created, and Kieron threw the Easterners out, 
the Easterners were likely the dominant race on all Dragaera.

Imagine that for a change... It's the Dragaerans who are the dirty 
barbarian second-class citizens.

In his own time, Kieron was probably persecuted as bad as (or worse 
than) Vlad...  Plus, we'd get to see the formation of the Empire, learn 
more about Sethra's origins, meet Drien, &c &c &c.

Unfortunately, I don't think all this back story is not something Steve 
will want to have "set in stone" by writing a book about it--at least, 
not until after the Vlad books have all been published. Which means it's 
a long way off, if ever.
