"The Tale of the Three Brothers"
Before any further retooling of this page (now that we have a new canon name to the story and additional content we weren't anticipating before the comic came out), a couple things to figure out . . .
Shall this prose story be considered its own separate "episode" from the individual issues it accompany? And if we do, will it be considered one episode (aka one wiki page) kinda like it is right now, or multiple episodes because of the parts (however they might land differently from the canon-in-training story we are used to), but also because they will be released in separate, future issues of Dark Ages (and who knows how it'll be presented in the hopeful collected trade).
At the moment I prefer treating "The Tale of the Three Brothers" as its own separate episode from the Dark Ages main story, and keeping it to one page, but I'd like to hear from other folks before the page gets toggled further (not to mention the links to it that will need adjustment). --Pheon (talk) 16:27, 12 July 2023 (PDT)
