War Lands of Arhosa
by James Tallett
Iaprem
was the ruler of Cynlyaa. The last ruler,
unless he did something drastic. His populace had lost their will, choosing to
wallow in the misery that was their daily lot rather than fight for a better
life. That abject surrender had brought predators and thieves to the very doors
of the palace, and they plundered with almost complete impunity.
The
something drastic came not from Iaprem, but his general, Dregnon, and together
they hatched a plan to not only protect their people, but drive the bandits
into the hills. Now, would they succeed? They certainly didn’t know, but they
were going to try. And if it was the last stand of the War Lands of the
Cynddeir, it would be a glorious one!
War Lands of Arhosa is a 13,000 word short story, the first of many
dealing with the new world of Arhosa.
