I've barely finished one chapter of The Tale of Two Kings, and I'm already on the verge of introducing the main conflict of this particular story. I need to create something to add, not filler so much as additional character-building.

As of right now, I've introduced five characters that I plan to use to drive some amount of the story in future chapters, three of which will continue into the long-term story. I'm not sure I've given enough time for readers to become accustomed to these characters and their personalities, and I don't really want to dive right into the action quite so soon.
