If you were to write a spin-off about a side character, which would you pick?

Unsurprisingly, I'm actually planning lots of prequels, short stories, and weird in-universe documents for Heralds of Rhimn. Two big ones center around specific side characters from the main series.

The first is Children of Snow, a Frostbiters-centered prequel. Gildhe is the main PoV character, but other Frostbiter kids like Karah, Delise Merlie, and Alevar are liable to get a few chapters. Mostly, it's about Lonnie's disappearance, how poorly Gildhe deals with it, and also about how Gildhe ends up pushing Mep out of the family. Funny enough, Mep will not be a PoV character.

(He's had enough time to bias the narrative through the main series!)

The second idea is a presently-untitled novel about how Inky got kicked out of his noble house. Features some of the older characters, like Atevia and Ainzel, plus Iriah and Lucketh back when they were alive. I've had this idea for longer, but it's not quite as fleshed-out as Children of Snow.

Other extremely undeveloped ideas for stories with side characters include;

Courtfather Snow and Charlan's relationship and breakup.

Tincre's life. Oh Tincre . . .

Evain becomes the first guy to become a wyfwolf after the war dies down, and I'm sure that'd be a fun tale to tell.

Maybe how Morekai met Silamir? Eh. Maybe.

Short story about Crislie's Ma and Da meeting each other.

Something to do with the other courts, especially the Mirthful Ones. I love inventing their jestercore puritan names.

In short; brain go brrrrrrr faster than the pen can. Rip.
