Updating the candlekeep library

Since they hired Dave Gross for writing, why don't they release some short stories, that shed some light on the more important characters?
I'd like to see how Sarevok grew up, how he became so obsessed of becoming the new god of murder, and since it wouldn't change any content in the game, it should be easy to get apporved by wotc.

    Ha! It's all in the game.
    Mother of Charname, Sarevok, Imoen and co wanted to kill all children, sacrifice to Bhaal.
    Gorion saved them (Bhaalspawns), took Charname. Rieltar took Sarevok. Before that, he lived on the streets and ate cats.
    Rieltar killed his wife, stepmother of Sarevok, in front of him. Later he trained special technichs in Iron Throne fighter base or something.

    That what I know from the game.

    Three more chapters are on the way soon. In the meantime, go read Dave's latest book: Queen of Thorns

    Well now, don't rule anything out.

    I hope you realize focusing so much attention solely on the new characters, is not necessarily a good thing.

    Well, it is one of the few parts of the game where Beamdog was allowed to write original content. Can't blame them for showcasing it. :)

    These stories are independent from the main game, so I assume it might be possible to write some stories about other characters, too. The only one who needs to approve would be wizards of the coast right?
    At the moment it appears to like this: Look at those bunch of knives (vanilla npcs), some are beautful some have flaws, some are a bit chipped other are decorated, but they are knives. And now look at those fancy ceremonial rapiers (new characters) with delicate golden ornaments; already superior, and now they add a how-to for parades.
