About Hammer of Gath: A Tale of Rehavan

In a time millennia before the Golden Iris reigned supreme, before Salinor and the race of men ever dreamed of nationhood, the elven empire of Elisidor stands as Rehavan’s greatest power. To their east lies the ocean, to their west lies Gath, the sprawling democracy of the minotaurs, their only option for expansion. As both nations grow and swell, one lusting for mineral wealth, the other for fertile land, differences in belief and custom become divisive. Factions rise desirous of conquest. A chance misfortune sparks bloodshed, and as this bloodshed increases, two blacksmiths from opposing cultures find themselves thrust into prominence, living out their personal grudge on the stage of international war. The war ravages Rehavan, casting doubt upon ancient customs, religious teachings, and ideals, and ultimately posing the question: What is the nature of power?

About the author

There is no way to bridge the gap between souls, to make the experience of one become the experience of another. What we see and hear and feel as "life" is unique to us, flavored by our innate soul and the moments that touch us. We have no perfect way to translate what moves within our mind for others.

But, by all that is beautiful or grand, that doesn't make the pursuit any less meaningful. That doesn't mean we can't try.

Stories are how I try. So, please, read one. Here's my soul.
