So I am re-reading the old DL series, and actually loving it. Now, I know they wrote some new-ish ones about the kids of the main characters but I don't know how far they went and so was wondering just what would be the logical series to read next, where I wouldn't miss anything per se.

So I have the following questions.

1) What comes next after these? Chronicles, then Legends (Which I like alot, lot more) then what?

2) Are there any good sole novels that kinda fill in the gaps in between? I'm speaking of related stories such as "Dalamar the Dark", which wasn't great but you know what I mean. I am trying to discern the "frill" novels from the ones worth reading. I see they released some annotated versions which I don't really care for.

3) I am interested in Lord Soth's story too. I know he had a Ravenloft novel, anyone ever check it out? Was that the only other one he was featured in?

4) I have read Soulforge and Brothers at Arms, now I am looking to move forward past the twins novels and into the future, but I don't want to bother unless these new books are original and not rehashed versions of old stories, y'know?

5) Uh, more of a DL-fan question I guess. Was the Kingpriest a mage? You know, he had this charisma spell around him and all. Or was that just a clerical spell of some form that made everyone love him? Seemed a bit odd to do, he didn't seem a bad man just...misguided.
