== About the Story ''Bane Hero of the North''==
''Please add forewords or comments here'' My Dedication Firstly I would like to say it has been a pleasure to write this book (which has been intended originally to be an online work), it may not be the greatest literally written piece around but hopefully is a joy to read. I have a few people to thank, firstly I would like to thank Kahn, the host of the Dark Library, a Diablo orientated fan fiction site for placing my work on the web for people to read. Secondly I would like to thank Simon Brown, for feeding me ideas in ‘The Gate’. I would also like to thank those who have read my work and my Dad, Martin who spent a lot of ink and paper printing it. I would also like to express a very special thanks to Gerwin Broers for his excellent cover. Lastly I would like to dedicate this book to my brother, Richard, who has been the biggest help I have had in writing so far. He has always been there to read my stories and keep me going. Thank you bro. I would also like this to be a tribute to a writer who did more than just help shape fantasy into what it is today, before Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, a man who created fascinating characters and places beyond imagination. Thank you Robert E. Howard, for those Conan stories and much more. Mark DunstanJanuary 2002 Notes: In order of completeness I wanted the reader to progress with the story, to watch Bane grow and develop as a character along with my writing skills, hence at the beginning of this book the first few chapters are written in a strange style which improves as the story moves along and as I get into the swing of things more.
