Battle of Nordkreuz

And finally, an update from me =3

I can't think of anything profound, so I'll let the new chapter itself do the talking. Let's see how well the battles are understood when I take tactics up another notch. I do however, suggest bringing your favorite battle music starting from scene #3; preferably something more traditional in style~

The soundtracks I listened to get in the mood during the writing of the chapter includes:

• Imperial Conflict and Melee Cafe by Jeff van Dyck (Rome Total War).
• Esper Battle (Final Fantasy XII) by Sakimoto Hitoshi.
• Barbarian Horde (Gladiator) and Roll Tide (Crimson Tide) by Hans Zimmer.

Lastly, since a number of readers have requested it, here's the author's notes in regards to how Hyperion came to be and a general listing of the historical references embedded in the chapters. This will be steadily updated as I finish work on volume two.

Introductions are embarrassing >///<

Well, I'm Aorii. Since Kadi found a lush new planet to settle and introduced it to me, I asked for a piece of land too~

Some already noticed the new project page. Some might have heard of Daybreak from B-T. I've been looking for a better means of hosting that's easier to exchange comments on. Thanks to Krytyk I've found a warm and fuzzy new home.

Daybreak on Hyperion is an original english 'light novel' that's been running successfully for a year now. It's a high fantasy that takes its military genre quite seriously. So if you enjoy intelligent characters, far-reaching plans, conflicts in scale, and some amusing fluff to wrap it all up, I certainly recommend you check this out o/~

The synopsis and project itself can be found here or through the main navi bar. Cho's light novel site was also kind enough to give a review for those interested.

Update speed won't be very fast since maintaining quality is my top priority. Chapters typically take ~3 weeks. There is a lot of editing and oftentimes, research, being done in-between.

Other than that, it's nice too meet you all and I hope to see you around~ ^^7
