Shadow of the Abyss

The Old Gods are gone. Lost and Forgotten, their honor shattered and their kingdoms broken by treachery. The Peace of the Myriad Heavens has been severed. And from the ashes of war and chaos, the Twin Towers of Babel have been created as a beacon of hope. Can Altair, a child born of the Old Gods whose name has long since been forgotten, survive, or will he be cast into the Nine Hells? *** "So..." Arsene continued, enjoying his child's flush expression. "I've got a few things to teach you. What I'm about to give you is some peak wisdom.

City of Forwin

Within a luxurious carriage moving north of the High Roads, Altair stared at the young Lordling curiously as she slept, resting on Liana's lap, thumb in mouth, and a sliver of drool streaming down her lips.

"There she goes again," Liana said, grinning, not daring to wake her.
