I am Damian Deile, and I am the creator Shadows of Winter. This email concerns the recently announced Half Life 2 Mod , "The Lost Prophecies: Shadows of Winter" . Shadows of Winter was a modification for Dungeon Siege that stopped development in September 2003. This latest incarnation is being developed without permission by one of the original team members, Chris "Resvrgam" Fisk.

In December of 2004 I requested that Chris Fisk place proper copyright notice on his site (http://sow.thelostprophecies.com/) or cease development of the modification. He has declined to do either.

In response to this I have decided to write a postmortem of the original development as well as post information of the world setting and the complete story arc of Shadows of Winter at www.electrofiction.com.

Chris Fisk is clearly stealing my intellectual property and I would like the Half-Life community to know this, or at least read the article and make their own decision.
