A New Fantasy Series Created by Kate Madison And A NEW FANTASY SERIES CREATED BY KATE MADISON AND CHRISTOPHER DANE REN is a new exciting fantasy drama series, with high-end TV production values, created for the ever growing online audience. It tells the story of a young woman who, after an otherworldly encoun- ter in the woods, is marked by an ancient spirit. Cast out from her small village, she is forced to leave behind the family she has spent her whole life protecting and journey across the country to find the real meaning behind the mark she now bears. The aim for the now completed Season One is to create the basis for a long lasting new fantasy franchise. As a made-for-the-internet feature my first project Born of Hope has been a major success story. Over 35 million views on platforms like YouTube and Daily Motion has made it the most watched Lord of the Rings tribute film. The entire team honed their skills attempting to create a world that could easily sit next to Peter Jackson’s trilogy... and succeeded. With Ren it was important for me to create a NEW world, where nobody has ever been before, to make it exciting for both our loyal Born of Hope fans and a whole new group of fantasy fans. It was also very important that we did not compromise on the quality of what we were creating, so every member of the team aimed for high-end TV production values... and succeeded. Bringing out the first season is obviously the big test, but I’m in no doubt that this is only the start of an amazing journey! Kate Madison These are some of the reactions to Season One from the fans It is indeed. one of the best things. ever to be featured as web series. I’ve been very impressed with the show’s visuals, story, lore, music, all of it. Big budget quality on a low budget. Fantastic work. Wow this is HBO quality work! Am loving this series. I was looking for something to replace Merlin. I found it! You really should try and approach a major TV channel with this. Maybe the BBC? Ren has the beginnings of a really great heroine and I look forward to her journey. That is seriously awesome. The production value is fantastic,the acting, direction, sets, costumes excellent and I must say I am in love with Ren! Beautifully done. From the beginning, I felt immersed in the world. The cast is fantastic and I loved the costuming. The locations are so intricate they really bring this to life. I love the attention to detail. It helps this series overcome the majority of flaws most web series have. Really like the way the relationships are established so that you care about the characters and the tension is well done too! Holy crap, it looks amazing guys. Well done you should be proud. Stunning cinematography, beautiful locations, excellent casting and brilliant costumes! Been waiting for a web series like this! Fantastic! Big studio quality in every category. Incredible series definitely deserves to be on TV. More please!!! Ren lives in a small protected village in the land of Alathia with her younger brother, Baynon, and her crippled father, Dagron. Growing up she has tried to come to terms with the disappearance of her mother, and helped by her mentor, Karn, she manages to keep her family fed. But on this day her life will change forever. Soldiers from the ruling order of the Kah’Nath arrive and put the normally quiet village on edge. When Dagron discovers a forbidden book in Ren’s bag, a huge argument ensues. Dagron throws the book in the fire and Ren runs away to find solace in the forest. There she encounters two fugitives, Hunter and Lyanna, chased by the Kah’Nath. CONFIDENTIAL In the ensuing fight Ren is exposed to an ancient spirit, a Mahri, and in a state of Please avoid spoilers shock she returns to the village. Hunter follows her and when the spirit takes hold of Ren he enlists the help of Baynon. Sheltered in her house Ren discovers that she is now a Nuh’Nahri and a ‘Marked One’, the ancient enemy of the Kah’Nath, and Hunter urges her to flee with him at once. But Dagron comes back and chases Hunter out of the house. Ren pleads for her father to find help, while Hunter is captured by the Kah’Nath. Ren’s prayers to the goddess Nirith falls on deaf ears and her father hands her over to the Kah’Nath Commander, who swears that they will extract the evil from his daughter. The only one who doesn’t believe the Commander is Baynon, and he frees Hunter from prison in return for Hunter’s help. But when the Kah’Nath Master, the supreme ruler of the province, arrives at Ren’s trial, Hunter goes back on his promise and abandons Baynon. In a last ditch attempt to save his sister, Baynon pleads with the villagers to go against their beliefs. But the Master plays a trick on Ren to expose her potential evil powers to the frightened people, and the trial continues. At the very last minute Karn returns with Hunter and together they fight off the Kah’Nath. Dagron faces the Master in a fatal attempt to free Ren. His sacrifice gives Ren enough time to free herself and stand up to the Master. The victory is short lived and Ren has to flee into the unknown with only Hunter at her side. THE SHOW’S FUTURE The team is looking at several ways to bring the series forward. One option is to keep Ren as a digital series and continue the colaborate nature of the show as it moves forward. Another option is to colaborate with a broadcaster/producer and expand the scale of the series to a full blown TV series on par with Merlin, Atlantis and Legend of the Seeker. In the title role of REN we have cast the wonderful up and coming actress Sophie Skelton. Already accustomed to the international stage (she has just been cast as Brianna in Starz’s Outlander series), she brings both the strength and vulnerability needed for the part. Hunter is the mysterious character Ren teams up with at the end of Season One. Another up and com- ing actor, Duran Fulton Brown (Jekyll & Hyde, BBC’s Musketeers), brings an edge to the character that ensures that the audience is constantly torn about the true nature of his motives. A host of both newcomers and seasoned professionals join the two leads in the first exciting Season. Amongst them are Nick Cornwall (Davinci’s Demons, Outlander), Richard Zeman (Stargate, The Day After Tomorrow), Grace Parry, James Malpas, Dita Tantang and Christopher Dane (The Four Warriors, BBC’s Dr Who).

Indeed, the languages were the first thing Tolkien ever created for his mythos, starting with what he originally called "Elfin" or "Qenya" [sic].

  • Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections
    Workers and Intelligentsia in Late Imperial Russia: Realities, Representations, Reflections Edited by Reginald E. Zelnik Description: The collapse of the Soviet Union opened previously unimagined possibilities for insight into Russian social, intellectual, and political history. This volume, a collaboration of American, Russian, and West European scholars, illuminates the creation and complex dynamics of the Russian industrial working class from its peasant origins in the mid-nineteenth century to the collapse of the imperial system in 1917. The authors focus on the shifting attitudes, cultural norms, self-representations, and increasing self-consciousness of workers as they interacted with the new social movements, student groups, the Church, and most dramatically, the political (mainly radical and liberal) intelligentsia. But the authors also examine the obverse: the contending representations of workers by the intelligentsia as they interacted with each other ever more intensely during this turbulent period leading up to the Russian Revolution. The result is a fascinating and detailed account of social and cultural transformation in a key period of Russian — and world — history.
