Archive Version of Illuminaria

This story is having a serious overhaul.  The new version is here: Illuminaria - Version 2 I had to take a break from writing for personal reasons, and when I came back, I found I didn't really like where I had ended up.  Additionally, rereading the tale from the beginning, I saw a bunch of areas where I could have done things much better.  Reader comments were especially help in pointing out choices I made that were not appreciated. The result is I am starting back at chapter 1 and rewriting.  While there will be many ideas and even sections carried forward into the new version, there will be some significant changes as well.  I will start posting the new chapters before the end of the year. I do apologize for vanishing from the community with no warning or explanation.
