Chapter 1: Guardian
My name is Rilmael, and I have been the Guardian of Cathair Kaldran for a very long time.
Fifteen thousand years, in truth.
I can remember it all, though I must concentrate to recall events from a long time past.
In those fifteen thousand years, the world has changed a great deal.
When the Liberated came here, the nation the men of the Frankish Empire call the cloak elves, this world was empty and untouched. Indeed, thanks to the nature of this world’s magic, no one was ever intended to live here. But the cloak elves built great kingdoms and mighty civilizations, and for a time, it seemed that the Liberated might do what they intended, that they might raise a powerful realm free from the threefold law of the high elves.
But in the end, the evils the cloak elves fled from on our homeworld followed us here.
The dark elven prince called the Dragon Imperator came to this world, and he brought all his vassals and armies. As they did on our homeworld, the dark elves opened gates to other worlds and summoned kindreds to be their slaves and soldiers, the goblins and the ogres and the gnolls and the jotunmiri. The xiatami snakemen found their way here and built a mighty empire of their own, warring against
