I don't understand what it is meant to say.. Could be because I'm not a native English speaker. Can you explain it to me? Th'rakk finds Sven's little notebook, and yells out loud, repeatedly, that he's awesome, as well as that his gnome blood ensures that he can read all tongues (languages), and he proclaims that he will find the plant, find Sven, kill Sven, and eat the plant.

All this in extremely butchered English, hahaha. His Orkish side coming through ;)

In my head it went on like this: another elf somehow finds that book years later and reads what Sven Frostwood documented in there. He (I assume the protagonist is male :D) sees it as a chance to finally stop the regime of Th'rakk. He starts searching for that special plant and on his trip he has to face many different dangers, but also meets some other elves that join him on his adventure. This is interesting, and I like this, if it weren't for the fact that Th'rakk finds the notebook. It feels like a prologue to me, too, though, I just, again, don't know where to go with it. I like your idea though.

ShadowLian wrote: But maybe you intended Sven Frostwood to be the protagonist? Tell me more about what you thought, what you imagined when you wrote it. Ahaha, I didn't think! Sven's name just came to mind, and I started writing, and kind of pooped this out, if you will. :P Nah but seriously, I was just thinking, and this sort of just came to me. I didn't have anything in mind initially other than Sven Frostwood and what he looked like were he a mixed species, and the rest just kind of came. :3 That's part of the problem.
