Hello, Gav, an Elven/Eldar fanboy here. Love both the Eldar Parth and the Rise of Malekith series. What can we expect from "Asurmen: Hand of Asuryan"?

Gav Thorpe It is the first in a series on the Phoenix Lords. Each book will be linked by a thematic narrative but there won't be a direct arc as such - just because Asurmen is the first in the series doesn't mean it is the first to occur chronologically. That'll make more sense when you read the opening.

As well as a 'present day' 40k story (one set sometime in the last few thousand years, at least) we also get a story from the days of the Fall. In this case the second narrative examines how Asurmen came to be the first Phoenix Lord.

Seeing as Age of Sigmar is one of the largest shakeups the warhammer world has ever seen, and thus really impacts how and what people can write, approximately how much heads up were you, the authors and creators, given?

Christopher asked Gav Thorpe:

Please give us more Dwarf Lore Gav. Your take on both Dwarves and Elves has forever impacted how I view both races in a fantasy setting. Is there any plans to revisit either race in novels?

David asked Gav Thorpe:

Have you ever thought about writing a Dark Angel story from the point of view of one of the Terran born-Dark Angels from before they arrive on Caliban to when the 1st Legion and the Lion join the Crusade?
