Production Background
As an Ask Greg exclusive, it was updated whenever Greg Weisman was inspired or if the mood struck him. [5][6] In 2003, Greg considered it to be his first “attempt at Fan Fiction.” [7]
A Part Five was initially planned to cover what life at the rookery was like before Castle Wyvern was built. Three years after Part Four was released, Greg remarked that the story was still “unfinished.” [8] Seven months later though he rambled that it better served as a prequel, writing, "the last posted chapter of three brothers wound up being the last chapter of that little story period. Because '3Bros' really wound up being just a prologue to DARK AGES. And where '3Bros' leaves off is in fact right at the beginning of where DARK AGES begins." [9]
