I‘m continuing with these posts promoting the relaunch of The Agartes Epilogues trilogy, entitled An Elegy of Heroes. Here’s yesterday’s post if you missed it.
The Kag Wilderness
The nearly impenetrable forest borders most of the Kag, and is long thought to be the source of the monsters that plagued the southwestern parts of the continent. Now the monsters have retreated into the deepest parts of the wood, and none but the most foolish of men dare venture there. It is said that the beasts not only consume human flesh, but also take your soul.
While ancient fae called the ka-eng and the kusyani inhabit the wilderness beyond the woods, it is a common belief that these monsters are not part of the natural fauna. Rather, these beasts have been brought into existence by a Gasparian mage, Naijwa, whose powers could lend life to dead and dying things.
Agartes Allaicras
The Kag was once a harsh, uninhabitable land, swarming with all sorts of creatures. This changed with the arrival of the hero Agartes, who slew every monster and established settlements along the coasts before venturing deeper. Every defeat ensured his name and legacy, or so everyone thought.
Many have written of Agartes’ fate and how it is a sure sign that the gods do not exist. For how can a man of faith, who had done nothing but serve his people, lose his wife and children under such tragic circumstances?
