The Book of Nazim

Chapter 1

The Sun was bright.

Nazim began the long journey back to The Lake -- with nothing to show for it. Still, the Red Wizards were convinced that their magic would save them... Fools... How could they not see?

The Darkness remained far beyond the Capital's eyes and ears. Such senses, Nazim knew, were preoccupied in games of status and presentation. Yet, beyond its towers adorned with gold, many in the natural world could feel its shadow. It was obvious even to the lowliest, most clueless of Kobolds, that Darkness -- ancient and elemental, was awakening. And, while it is true that the Red Wizards can harness fire to fight against the Dark, Fire has never been a substitute for Light.

The Sun was the only way.

However, without the cooperation of the Red Wizards, Nazim’s quest would be difficult. Nazim himself still did not have a Solar Staff. His followers were dedicated, but time was running short. The Ritual of the Sun had to occur on the Solstice, and that day was fast approaching.

Nazim walked swiftly down the road. He still had a ways to go before reaching the cut bank of the Omega Oxbow, and the Cult of the Sun was waiting.
