about a half a year ago i started to make a story about a the amazon islands. it doesnt have alot to do with the prime evil. or any of the original game or stories. you could say its a side story. i only have written 3-4 chapters on it and will post it either tonight or tomorrow.:D
Of course... if you're going to write a novel about the Amazons then you have to have some steamy raunchy descriptions or introductions... sex sells, or just makes things more interesting
Amazons cut off their right breast so they can fully pull back a bowstring and also steal men and rape them basically, you know the Futurama episode, it's like that.

Except those Amazons all had both breasts. Amazon comes from some ancient Greek term meaning "one-breasted" or something. I think in the case of the Diablo games however (seeing as how it takes place in a fictional reality in which Greece doesn't exist), it is more likely just a loose 'translation' from whatever language the people in that universe would actually be speaking to our common tongue using the most framiliar concept to us.

Well, considering what they did with the Druids, I'd say it's simply the American version of Amazons. Or you could call it the Hollywood version of Amazons...

lol ok if you guys want to talk about sexy amazons go make a thread. lol after i put a couple of chapters on here ill join you.lol
I'm not though. o.O There ability to procreate is a very important factor in there survival, right? If a group of people is incapable of procreating, that group SHOULD die out. The Amazons arn't dying out. Which means there is something going on.
(You should answer that question in your book. Lol.)
Somebody quote the D2 manual already, I can't find mine but it says something about the Amazon women's "lithe bodies being better suited to combat in the jungles" or some such thing.

It's the decisions you make when you have no time to make them that define who you are.
i hope its good too. just typed first chapter in word and here is the first chapter. if you have comments or ways to make it better please tell me. oh and i did write this during study hall when i was bored. i also have a symbol with every chapter. but having trouble making it.
After you finish the book, you might wanna make the pages look all nice and Diablo-ish. Of course it would have to be in a PDF file if you choose to have it as an e-book.
I wouldn't say its bad but you need to expand alot more on your writing, basically what the guys above me have said. I'll PM you an example, although I'm not the best writer myself

The Diablo Amazons are loosely based on the mythological race of warrior woman, who much like the Gerudo in Legend of Zelda looked to other societies and races to find males for reproductory purposes.
Taken from the Diablo II manual/Arreat Summit
The Amazons are women warriors who hail from a group of islands in the Twin Seas, near the border of the Great Ocean. Only the permanently snow-covered peak of Mount Karcheus breaks the expanses of lush forests on the islands.
The Amazon people are a relatively isolated culture. Adapting over the centuries to their tropical milieu, they have built magnificent cities in the forest canopy. These cities are an architectural phenomenon and a source of great pride to the Amazon people. They do not follow the teachings of the Zakarum, but instead practice a polytheistic religion that adheres to the strict principles of Order. Their oracles long ago predicted the Dark Exile, and they have been preparing to combat it ever since. Amazons regard the destruction of the Three Prime Evils as their destiny, ushering in a new era when mortal men and women can at long last take their rightful place in the universe, no longer merely playthings for the beings of the Outer Realms.
The Amazons are a seafaring people, one of the first to have made trade contact with both the Kingdoms of the West and with Kejhistan in the East. Their prominence in the world's trade establishment has afforded their warriors the reputation they currently enjoy as cunning strategists and skilled combatants. They are much sought after as mercenaries, being both expert soldiers as well as extremely loyal - as long as the assignment does not conflict with their strict sense of ethics.
Their pantheon of gods consists of a well-defined hierarchy, each member upholding some segment of the balance of Order. It is this strong sense of order that drives the Amazon people to achieve greatness in even the smallest of their endeavors. Their prime deity is Athulua who, with her consort, Kethryes, rules over the seasons and the weather. Under these Goddesses are a wide assortment of lesser deities, each responsible for his or her own sphere of influence among the Amazon people's daily life. The Amazons believe this pantheon is the remnant of the original inhabitants that settled the islands centuries ago. According to ancient records, they share the same names as these gods, although aspects of their personalities seem to have evolved over the centuries. In the Amazon culture, only the women serve as warriors, their intrinsic superior dexterity and lithe body structures are better suited to combat in the dense rainforest environs of the islands. Their society is far from stratified, however, as men are responsible for any number of positions in the community, government, and clergy, as well as merchant and agricultural occupations.
There you go. Diablo amazons have males, they just aren't warriors.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.

Bigger words.
More descriptive words.
Longer paragraphs.
Longer chapters.
Take care of that and it should be decent. Good luck!
Use more description of people, places, things to give more length to the chapters
Its a little choppy right now, add events in between some areas (sailing - arriving at the island)
The ending of the chapter was good, very good.
I know this is kinda a rough draft but grammar and mechanics need a little work.
