SEQUENCE ONE :: Synopsis
Richard, Kahlan, Zedd and Cara are tasked with stopping a deadly plague, created by the darkest magics which is rapidly spreading throughout all the world. When the Emperor of the Imperial Order invokes a prophecy that will bring a fate of pain, betrayal and death to the Seeker of Truth and the Mother Confessor, they must sacrifice everything they believe in to get their world back. Meanwhile, when Cara is critically injured by Emperor Jagang, the group stumbles across another member of the Rahl bloodline -- Richard's half brother, Drefan, who claims to be a healer, but what are his true motives?

Notes
Please note that this pitch is not complete. More details in regards to the plot, characters, as well as the full episode guide for sequence one will be on its way, soon!
So, I know you all were not expecting this. I sure as hell wasn't, but I was bored tonight and I've been missing the crap out of this show lately, so I said - "Why can't I just develop a continuation; Webisode style?" This is the result of that, obviously.
Season three will be very loosely based on "Temple of the Winds," which is a book in the "Sword of Truth" franchise. I wanted to have the same grounding from the book, but I'm not limited to just those storylines, like the series, I will be writing more original plots than ones taken from the novels.
With this webisode format, I'm hoping I can get the episodes done substantially quicker than I would if writing a standard virtual series, which is why I chose to use this format. Each sequence will consist of one arc, of 12 episodes. I may base 1-2 sequence off of the same source material (sequences 1 and 2 will be follow the plot of Temple of the Winds). I'll work my hardest to accurately portray the LotS universe in the writing of this series, and hopefully I'll have the first few episodes up and ready by the time this month is over! I'm really excited about this, and I hope you all will be too.
Also, if anyone wants to take up a job on this show, I'll be looking for 1-2 producer(s), who can help with the creative process and if they want, they may write 1 or 2 episodes a sequence.
hahaha!! I'm so glad you've decided to start this project. You talked about it a while ago, but I didn't think you'd actually go for it. I for one, cannot wait to see where this goes. I love that you're following what the producers did, and following the books in order. I've tried to read them but haven't found a lot of time, but I know you're reading them, and what you've told me is amazing, so I know you'll do a great job with writing this.
