Of course, the world-building is amazing. Sullivan, author of Riyria fame, weaves an expansive story set early in his world of Elan the humble roots of what will become a legend.
Can they keep humanity alive? Or will the birth of legends be the end of the Age of Myth? They are joined in this endeavor by several unlikely characters, allies, and not-exactly-enemies. But just when the light is fading and all hope is lost-enter Raithe: the God-Killer.Ĭonfronted by a impending storm that threatens to wipe out their people, Raithe, Malcolm, Suri and Persephone must band together to somehow salvage humanity. The Fhrey are on the warpath, and no Rhune is safe from them. So when the mystic girl Suri comes bringing portents of their impending doom, Persephone takes it upon herself to keep them safe. And yet, it’s hard to just let it happen.
And with her husband following their son into the afterlife, she awaits the passing of the mantle that will fade her into obscurity. Meanwhile, Persephone, wife to the Chief of Dal Rhen for the last 20 years, has just been widowed. It was quite perplexing, to be honest.įrom here, Raithe and Malcolm-a human servant, formerly of the Fhrey-turn south, fleeing the old gods wrath.
After just crossing to a small islet at the junction of the two rivers, a god appeared, killed his father, and prepared to kill Raithe himself. Raithe currently wishes he’d not broken this particular tradition. In fact, none have dared cross these bounds, instead staying on the barren stretch of land north of the Broken Lands which constitutes Rhulyn. Since the dawn of time, humans have worshipped the Fhrey as gods, never before crossing the Bern or North Branch Rivers into the green lands beyond, which their gods inhabit.
