Depends what you're trying to accomplish. Writing is all about fulfilling promises. What promises to your reader are you making about your story with your prologue?

Does anyone know any good guides on using Medieval Weaponry? I'm sure there are technical terms and a glossary of things I'm presently unaware of, and I'd like to know the finer points of swinging a one-handed war axe compared with a hulking great sword. If anyone has any links, that would be hugely helpful! My characters need to know what they're doing, even if their writer doesn't!

Skallagrim has a lot of good videos on viking and medieval weaponry, and also debunks a lot of myths about sword fighting, as well as misconceptions seen in video games. Give his stuff a look.

;) I dunno how many people will notice, haha.
Question for you; how 'set in stone' are stories once they're submitted to Tamriel Tales? I'm wondering if I should wait till I completely finish Frost Moon to start posting chapters for editing & proofreading, or just take the plunge early December. I'm worried that as I figure out the ending, I notice that the first part is missing a crucial part or something, can I go back and add it in, or is that frowned upon?

I'm always re visiting my older work. I think it's inevitable that most of us will find necessary at some point or other. Especially as our writing skills and abilities improve.
The main point is, as Okan has already stated, once someone has read your work, it is unlikely that they will go though it a second time. This isn’t something I tend to ponder on. If I feel the story will benefit then I add/make the change.
