[caporushes]

KINGDOM OF ORIGIN: Anaxas
RACIAL ORIGIN: Galdor
LEGALITY: Legal
ACCESSIBILITY: Common
DESCRIPTION:

A collection of short, lyrical stories by Maxwell Barnaby Liam Ellington (under the name Max Ellington), reprinted from their original serial publications. Many of the stories are centered around an invented pantheon of gods, although a few unrelated tales were included for this collection. Critical reaction to the stories have been mixed but largely favorable, many praising Ellington for his poetic prose and imagination that mixes the whimsical and the mundane. Others found the collection too strange for enjoyment, and some critics questioned his unusual writing style. This collected edition features interior illustrations by E. M. Lockwood.

The cosmology centers around Yara-Drax, who created the gods and then slept, and his various creations. It is said that only the gods themselves may pray to Yara-Drax, never mankind. If Yara-Drax ever wakes, he will unmake what he has made and start anew. He is kept in his slumber by the Eternal Song, which has no end and no beginning and is sung by Arleax the Singer.
