Regarding the statement that they "will return" at the end

Okay, so, at the very end of the work is a statement that the heroes "will return in The Golden God of Aolia".

Seeing as the whole series was written as novels years ago, this seemed like the thing to do/say at the end, following the end of the story.

However, seeing the decided lack of interest in this work, I would like to offiicially amend that statement to "they may return."

I am absolutely going to do the rewrite of the next novel--of the whole series, in fact--but if no one is interested in reading any of them, I will not bother actually putting them into Twine and releasing them.  (That part of the process can be a time-consuming slog, esp. the glossary, which takes several days to write, at least a day to proofread, and another couple days to code.)

Therefore, if anyone actually finishes reading this one and feels they might be willing to give the sequel a try, please let me know.  (The later books are not as slow to start, and get to the fantastical elements much faster than this one did, if that matters.)

EDIT:  on further reflection, I have simply decided outright that I will not be attempting to turn the other books interactive in this manner.  I will be posting all seven of them to AO3 instead.  After I post this one, then I will start working on rewriting the second one.
