...is really good. I've never heard it laid out sequentially and comprehensively before, and now I'm impressed.
There's tragedy, foreshadowing, gradual escalation, various neutral sides caught in crossfire, rogue agents, and a unified theme of lost ancient technology that actively aids the story instead of just being there.
Reminds me of The Clone Wars, but also, though it's hard to put a finger on it, it really feels like a fantasy story written in late 20th and not early 21st century. I'm not sure if it's a compliment or not, but it's very much there.
