D J Dempsey: War of the Four, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Sun. Sea. Sky. Stone. Four tales, fated for war.

Seven hundred forty-one turns of the solar season ago, a fragment of a celestial star descended upon the Plane. Or so the story was told.

From its crater emerged a storm so devastating that only the bravest of knights, Rondor the Royal, dared venture to its source. What he discovered changed the Plane forever.

Upon contact with the fallen star, the storm ceased-its celestial essence coursed through his body with a pulse, granting him the authority to command all elements of the Plane. Rondor forged the foreign substance into what became known as the Staff of Azil and used its power to bring peace to his fractured homeland.

Generations of inheritance later, however, Rondor's progeny strayed from his virtue. Rexam's reign with the staff unleashed the most perilous period the Plane had ever known, subjugating all four regions under his mighty conquest. Only when Rexam's younger brother, Regnam, rose to lead the rebellion did the devastation finally come to an end.

Wielding this reclaimed power, Regnam chose instead to reforge the Staff of Azil and divide its essence among the Plane's four great leaders. Thus, the amulons renowned today-the Sunspear , Seatrident , Skybow , and Stonehammer-were created, each capable of conducting one of the four principal elements.

But as these tales of the Plane will tell, peace divided doesn't always remain that way.
