Author's Note
As I mentioned way back at the start of this thing, this story is written in a similar style to Max Brooks' superb work, World War Z. His book is a glorious, world encompassing, horrific delight of a book that gave me odd dreams for weeks after finishing it. I would recommend it to anyone who likes a good Zombie.
This work (including the cover), all of the chapters, characters, and scenarios that follow are original, and my own work. There are of course veiled references to the original story, and a few similarities in the way the story starts and finishes, although I've perhaps tweaked a few things here and there to suit my own style of writing. Max Brooks' narrator for example has much more involvement in the interview, being able to ask questions and describe the character's reactions. I'd forgotten that when I started this, but this style of almost monologue seemed to suit me, so I carried it on.
I really loved all the comments and support I've had while writing this, it's been a blast, and being my first work that is over about five or six pages, it really was a departure from the norm for me. So, thanks to everyone who has read this moaning pile of horror. I'm not going to name names, as I'm bound to miss someone out but the chapter dedications probably say a lot.
Thanks to you all for your support, little comments, finding of little errors, suggestions, and above all for reading.
Cheers, Gav

The Third Spire
It has been decades since the Wizardly Order rose and helped the Realm to banish the monstruos Elfey from its lands by building the Five Spires. The kingdom has prospered greatly in the time since, advancing both in the magical arts and the more mundane technology. The Wizards have grown too, gaining influence and spreading throught the Realm, Wizards' Towers dotting the landscape on many regions. But as the Realm grows and starts looking beyond its borders, the Wizards are faced with one insidious enemy inside its own borders. Master Garner, a wizard in the scarcely populated far West of the Realm, feels the situation getting out of hand, and a violent purge forces him out of his beloved Tower. The wizard takes his apprentices and allies in search of uncertain safety in the Third Spire. Some sources of inspiration for this story, for variable reasons: Riyria Chronicles, The Wandering Inn, Gentleman Bastard series. Note: First dedicated attempt at writing. I'm looking for feedback, and I will appreciate if you point out any mistakes. Updates: Tuesday, and every other Thursday, as life allows it.

The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
