Well, if I'd seen the box art for the Kunark expansion, I'd probably
already assume that stuff like the story goes on. If I'd never even seen
the box art for the games, I have no idea why I'd be reading fan fiction
sites, but the story in question would probably fit in reasonably well
except that it's slightly better written.

More embarrassing is that it's better written than most all of the official
fiction I've seen, especially the descriptions of gods.
