Chapter 1 – Introduction

Hi everyone to the next instalment in the MTCU.

I'll start with what's most important – Avengers: Dagor Arnediad is not Dagor Dagorath. Nor is it really Infinity War. While drawing on many elements from both, ADA is more the continuation of a saga that began in December 2012.

I appreciate this crossover's title is somewhat like 'Nirnaeth Arnediad'. But that's the limitations of my Sindarin.

The main points about this crossover:

1) No repetition of canonical scenes from IW unless necessary.

2) Obviously, there's A LOT of characters involved in this crossover. There might be several chapters between appearances as the various sub-plots come together.

3) The corollary being gaps due to events taking across several worlds (I'd be the first to admit I suck at multi-tasking).

4) There are a few non-canonical elements from both franchises. While purists might not like them, I'm confident those elements won't prove outlandish either.

5) It is highly unlikely this crossover will be completed when Avengers 4 is released. But ADA's plot is independent of what happens in May next year.

6) There's also no speculation on the plot of Captain Marvel.

As always, I look forward to your reviews and comments throughout.
