Encyclopedia Ermariana is designed as a resource for scenario designers, but it also fits as a resource for book writers.
If that points at my suggestion of a book resource, then that's not what I meant. I mean a sort of a storage of novel creations, holding all the creativity, based on Ermarian, if there will be such.
And if you mean - "Here is a help from me, the information you need for your creativity! Use it and write something terrifically interesting and breathcatching like a gasp of hot air!" - then THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

Originally written by Importance of Being Alorael:

But that's what makes A1 uneventful. You meet the sliths and nephils, fight a lot of them, explore the caves, discover this and that, find the way to the surface, and so on. It establishes the setting of Avernum and the characters in it, but most of it isn't something that can be easily restated.
Seems like we are talking about different things. You tell me that the most plotfilled part is A2, if I'm not mistaken. And I'm trying to show the other way of importance of every part.
That's how I'll try to explain (BTW a good reason to argue).
Imagine, that one have studied everything, that is mentioned ONLY in A1 OR A2 OR A3. Let's take three people for example. And they all get the same task. To write a novel, which takes place in ANY period AFTER the Avernum they know, but in that novel every one ofe them should use the links to historcal facts and to reveal a couple of mysteryes of the past, may be showing the original point of view on the ancient history of Ermarian.
So here's my bet: the A1 specialist will be much closer to the truth in his novel, than A2 & A3.
I guess that if I knew the plot of ONLY A3, I would have such a mess in my head, having only common knowledge of any origin of this or that fact. The A2 learner has a little advantage with A1, knowing about Vahnatai. But still his knowledge of the origins will come from couple of dialogs and several short books.
Anyway, to lay the end to this argue, which I didn't want to start, what I mean is to use all the parts from first to the last but not the least in this trilogy.
Still, thanks to everybody, who has answered me. I didn't find any centralized group of writers, like I've seen on some other TV/PC games projects.
2 Lenar Labs : I'm eager to read your novel!!! As now I'm a bit busy with mu work and reading Crystal Song by We Are the Music-Makers, I have enough time to wait for your novel to be completed.
2 All May be it is not a bad idea to establish a resource of book creation?

Most of A1 gets glossed over because it's a series of minor events with only a few major ones.
I have about 10 facts to argue with the statement. A1 is full of interesting facts, considering major historical events. More to say, some major ideas of the true history of Ermarian are based exactly on A1. The further we go (A2, A3) the more complicated is the storyline. Therefore much more difficult to reveal the truth of ancient history. I should add that almost as valuable as A1 is A2 with reappearance of Vahnatai on the stage.

THNX 2 Early Bird. Reading.
Introduction reminded me Silmarillion by J.R.R.T. As I'm not a fan, I couldn't read it through that time (I mean Silm). But in this case I can see, that the "holy" style is only in prologue.
Till later, when I finish reading then.

Thanks everyone for an answer on a question. But not mine! :) I read through Encyclopedia, Drakefyre's theory and Vahnatai vision. But what I was asking about is neither a history of Ermarian, nor a new point of view on historical facts. But a novel.
2 We are the music-makers Sorry, may be I used wrong keywords while searching. I tried to see your post in November last year, but search shows only starting from Nov 13. There I couldn't find your attempt. May be you can give mó a link?

Once, trying to intrigue one person with Avernum, I started to depict the almost undescribable beauties of this world and its inhabitants. That time I wrote a sort of a short novel, skipping details, following only the main storylines of A1-A3.
I searched through this forum (and some other), trying to find any sort of a story, based on Avernum adventures. All in vain.
That's why I wonder if there is somebody, interested in writing a trilogy (quadrology), based on A1-A3(4). Or writing a full and logically bound novel, depicting a continuation of Avernum story, revealing throng of interesting story facts of that planet. *Like a fact, that people and Vahnatai are not the native born creatures of Avernum and surface; or that Slitzerikai were outcasted to Avernum before first people landed on surface, but after last Vahnatai went deeper to hide*
