Someone's created a very similar world to Sennadar. I've no idea whether you will be amused or flattered.
The work thus far is somewhat lacking in terms of character development, but it's an okay read.

Eventually, the differences between Dolaria and Sennadar will become oh-so-obvious. But so far, yeah, it is basically the same... a young man finds out he has magical powers and gets taken in and helped by an older magician and a band of adventurers. But when you look at it, a lot of fantasy stories start that way. But I promise that the differences are quite vast.
For instance, there's no Firestaff in my world, and Sorcery is a LOT different. I haven't written anything about Sorcery in the new world in the book yet, but the overall system of magic is much different, and the most obvious difference is with Sorcery. Druidic magic is very similar, but a little simpler in Dolaria, but then again, a lot of the stories that I've read have a similar approach to Druidic magic, so I'm probably imitating all of them at once.
Ok, enough of that. I've finished with all my auditions and such so I should be able to post the new chapter within a few days. Also, since this is Fel's board, please take any further discussion to

I stopped reading that story in the middle of chapter 1. Too much politics. I read to relax, and I don't really feel like reading a political rant.

Yeah, it's not a political book at all. I promise. No politics after Chapter 1.

Oh, I feel a bit bad now due to the aforementioned politics, but those politics get ended pretty dramatically if one continues.
Once I hit chapter four, it became very interesting indeed.

It might be highly valued, but I doubt you can make a claim to it fiferguy.

If I remember right, you were in the "Is it done yet? Probably not, but I don't have anything better to do! crowd as much as any of us was. **drops a baleen whale on fiferguy, krill and plankton included...

Now pick yourself up and get writing!!!

Isn't having to wait for Chapter 6 a big enough Cliffhanger?

hmm, where have I heard that one before... oh yeah, that was when you said you were going to write chapter 4, and then didn't do it for another couple of weeks, and then there was chapter 5... do I even need to go there?

You know I'm kidding you man. I look forward to the next chapter, and finding out that jonathan is a psion...
