Elves: Once Walked with Gods

James Barclay

IS THE SHAME OF DEFEAT IMMORTAL?

Takaar, Lord of the TaiGethan the hero of countless battles, defender of the faith for nearly two thousand years. But in the last battle his courage broke...

The elves have fought to escape an ancient evil. The fight was brutal, the TaiGethan Warrior caste was all but wiped out. But with nearly all having crossed the dimensions to safety in Calaius, the battle line breaks and a hundred thousand elves are left to their doom.

And elves remember when courage fails. Takaar is shunned and vilified and the anger of his people is matched only by his own shame. For an elf who once walked with Gods perhaps the ultimate shame of taking his own life is only fitting...

But in Calaius the Elven nation is tearing itself apart. A thousand years of peace has allowed old rivalries to be reborn and elves who once stood shoulder to shoulder now face each other across lines of swords. Men from the North are fanning the flames. War is coming.

Auum, a TaiGethen warrior, believes there is one elf who can unite them again. And so begins a perilous quest to bring Takaar back from the forests, to unite elves against the true enemy: Mankind.
