Before a single step is taken on the journey across such a corrupt land as Arzutare, which was once named Arinalgar, one must know what to expect. You will find no creatures from the Realms of legends, only the men who claim their power over those lesser in will – the kings and the Lords of lands forged from the bleeding hands of the laboured commoner. The kings – the tyrants who lust only for power and feed from fear. The lands here were risen into existence when a single king was crowned amidst a bloodbath – his cloak dragging a red trail behind it as the crown was placed upon him. Ever since then there has only been the way of the bloodline, but one other creature does exist however – one that above all else can bend history at their own will, the first fear of men, the ‘Sun Children’ they are known as – the wielders of the endless flame, tamers of the fire.

Far in the western lands lay an Empire spawned from the pain and blood of those it has slain to achieve its power. Its name was Argar. Since the early years of the first era this great and dark nation had fed from the weakness of the small Kingdoms at its borders. In the most recent years, its once greatest foe, Narashar had been ground into ash – its people forced to flee across the seas to the lands now known as Calamara. Narashar had for over one and a half thousand years been the grandest Empire to ever dwell in the western lands. Its lands were once an array of reds, greens and golds, and its people draped in robes of the same. Its armies were something to boast about, their armour glimmering in the grand sunlight that forever shone over the lands of the Sun Children. The Sun Children – once guardians of the netherworlds – their ability to conjure flames from their own flesh has now only earned them and their once grand Empire a place in the halls of infamy.
From the very beginning there existed an Order of five Lords who served as the Sun Children’s greatest advisors and protectors, but the malice of the Argarian King to the north began to manipulate the loyal hearts of the great. The Lords were forced out of Narashar by their rulers, and their rulers became hated for the Lords were loved by the people. Ever seeking vengeance and security in their newly inherited Empire, the Lords dedicate their lives and services to bring down the Sun Children whenever another is born.
This is a brief guide to the world around which my novel ‘The Fire Princess’ is set.
I realise that after much time spent on writing the history of the world there is very little that comes into the story. And upon receiving advice that what originally was placed at the start of chapter one has now been deleted. What this is is a mini appendix for the current novel, and the ten other prequels.
I think it’s safe to say I’ve created more of a background to this novel than anyone ever thought. These shall be updated regularly, as to type out the entire mini-appendix would take a fair few hours.
