...so evocative, and I really liked how each adventurer was introduced in the closed-off room at the tavern. It reminded me of fantasy books and games from my youth. I went straight to the website to find it...
Also, I liked how the character Hepthe provided commentary on The Bladetongue to give further insights, some of which were Christian. That was fantastic."

How could a great and protected city of powerful magic users which ruled over all the realms suddenly fall to a horde of untaught barbarians from the forgotten rim of the world? The catastrophe led the conflagration of the library towers which had stored all the written works of the entire continent.
SIX STORIES REVEAL THE MYSTERY
Ex-slave Hepthe crosses the Whitehawk Continent researching the crucial mystery of the Fall of Nystol the many-towered wizard collegium. A century later Abbot Cromna collected these classic accounts on his own perilous journey, recounted in the first story.
1) THE NOMADS OF SARDU: Abbot Cromna dares travel across forbidden lands to obtain a forbidden book...but will he dare to read it? AUDIOBOOK
2) SAGE OF THE ELDARK: After the Ambush of the Centaurs, the Philosopher Epinanaus retires to the desert to meditate, but he is interrupted by a wandering Christian zealot and they spend days together in the debating over the existance of spirits. In doing so the Christian zealot has a vision of the future in which the future of the World will be changed by the decisions of the Philosopher and the treasure hunt of the Regulian Emperor in the Isle of Harpies.
3) UNDERGROUND TO NYSTOL: a company of soldiers is led by a mad dwarf into the underworld with the promise of sacking Nystol, the wizardic academy of many towers...
4) THE LAST DAYS OF THE MAGI: Hepthe, a condemned prisoner, recounts how the most powerful academy of magic was compromised and finally betrayed by insane ideologies.
5) THE FALL OF NYSTOL: The eyewitness account of the barbarian sack of Nystol (which is depicted in the video above). This is the central drama of the collection, describing in detail the great systems of magic, interior collapse of wizardry, betrayal and conspiracy, and the hero's confrontation of Simon Invernalius, escape of the hero, and final razing of the towers.
6) EAGER DOG TRAIL: After learning about the destruction of the wizard towers, Abbot Cromna meets some Barbarians settled in the Canyon of Hermius. The Abbot hopes to bring them knowledge of the truth and of higher things than just eating and drinking. To do this he must enter Arcodon, the mazes beneath Nystol, and recover the Scroll of Illumination. However, a terrifying monster of human technology awaits him: Minogog.
"this read is so enjoyable and a respite from the modern age and loss of faith... If you like Tolkien then you will rejoice in this book."
