The land of Narda: an environment that is both incredibly enchanting and extremely dangerous. A continent of rivers and woods, of mountains and plains, of deserts and flowering fields.
In times past, the Nydar, Syndar and Tynar races of Eldarin, colonizers of Narda in the First Age, lived in harmony. That all changed when one of their own set up separate rule in the East, taking charge by murdering and exiling his own people. Survivors of the onslaught fled to another land, far away.
But … they have always longed to return.
Finally, after 60 years, a plan was set in motion.
Join Eathelon and his brave companions on their challenging journey through this land, inhabited by giant Northmen, Lit'ls, an evil King and his treacherous forces, as well as exotic creatures such as Fyrcaats, Baerwolffs, Sinter Hawks, and more, in their adventurous and, at times, harrowing, quest to find the missing Seeing Stones and to restore their homeland to its former glory.
Excerpt
The small crew worked furiously to keep the Sirine afloat, as the tempest tossed it about like a toy. Eathelon wondered if he’d made an error in his course calculation, or if there was an error in the charts, but in truth, the growing tempest had driven them off course to a place where the Westmost Sea and Southern Sea currents collide and they found themselves in the grip of the stronger current of the Southern Sea, as the storm unleashed its full fury on them.
“Hard to port, hard to port!” Eathelon yelled to Palo over the howling wind.
Palo turned the wheel with all of his might and, though strong, struggled to keep the ship upright.
“Tomas, Marchal, over here!” Eathelon barked. “Help me get the sail down.!”
A wave washed over the starboard side and sent them all crashing into the rail.
“Hold on!” he yelled. The last thing they needed was a man overboard!
The three men began to work frantically to get the mainsail down, as the wind threatened to rip it to shreds. Ship and crew were thrust atop mountainous waves and pushed down into watery valleys over and over again, and before they could get the sail down, the gale-force wind ripped it apart and the Sirine floundered.
The killing storm had come up out of nowhere and Eathelon knew that the Eldarin ships of old must have been sunk by a storm like it.
