Having worked out his penance and resettled his people in the citadel of Arnoch, the Nameless Dwarf decides to start a new life in the up-and-coming town of Brink.Seven years later, he has everything a dwarf could possibly wish for--a gym, a beer hall, and a bawdy house across the road.Then a blood-stained dwarf staggers into town with a message of doom: Arnoch has sunk beneath the waves, its last defense against the attack of a five-headed dragon.The one slender hope remaining to the dwarves lies in their distant past: the dwarf lords, who had been created for perils such as this. But for centuries, they have been in exile on Thanatos, a death world likely to change even the greatest of heroes.With time running out for Arnoch, Nameless must find the dwarf lords and persuade them to come home.But before that, he first has to survive them.
From internationally bestselling author D.P. Prior... "A beautifully written and engrossing masterwork " -- Mitchell Hogan Fantasy Faction semifinalist for the SPFBO 2018 A babe is born in the shadows of the ravine city, a child who will end the self-imposed exile of the dwarves and usher in a new age of glory. Years later, Ravine Guard Carnac Thayn discovers a break-in at the Scriptorium. A dwarf has been murdered and a book stolen, but the ruling council do nothing. Then, when Carn is called to investigate thuds and crashes from the mines, old horror rises from the deep, and the city is threatened with slaughter. Rumors begin to circulate about a mythical axe said to be lost below the earth, an axe wielded by the dwarf lords of old that might just be the last hope of a race marked to die. But deception is rife, and unseen forces manipulate all paths to the future.It is a pivotal moment for the dwarves, and Carn must make a choice that will either save or damn his people. Blood will flow in rivers through the ravine. Friends will become foes. A name will be forgotten. And a hero will rise.
Awakened from an induced year-long slumber, the Nameless Dwarf is tortured with memories of slaughter and must come to terms with who he has become: an outcast, a butcher, the most reviled of dwarven-kind.As forces of unimaginable destruction coalesce around the mountain fortress of a mad sorcerer, the philosopher Aristodeus puts together a team for a last desperate attempt to avert the coming cataclysm: A knight besieged by doubts, who has been prepared since a child for the current crisis, yet is crumbling under the pressure of the task before him;An albino assassin who denies the truth of what he really is;A woman with a black sword as disturbing as the axe responsible for the massacre at Arx Gravis;And a dwarf with no name, who will either carve out the path of his own redemption or condemn the world to a night that will never end.
The only thing keeping the Nameless Dwarf from once more becoming the Ravine Butcher is a helm made from the sorcerous ore, ocras, which he can never remove. Without the helm, he would succumb to the power of the black axe that caused the slaughter at Arx Gravis.After a year of fighting in other people's wars, Nameless receives a visit from one of the underworld tricksters--a faen--who tells him the day he has long waited for has arrived: The philosopher Aristodeus has come up with a plan to destroy the black axe and free Nameless from the ocras helm.With the aid of new companions and an old friend, the assassin Shadrak the Unseen, Nameless must retrieve three artifacts that, combined, will bring an end to his suffering: The gauntlets of the fire giant, Sartis, whose lair lies in the roots of a volcano;The invulnerable armor of the Lich Lord of Verusia--an undead tyrant with a penchant for impaling and the drinking of souls;And the Shield of Warding, beneath which cowers a paranoid god on the fringe of the Abyss.But things are never that simple. Each of the companions has their own reasons for joining the quests, even Shadrak, who has been bound by an irrevocable contract--to kill the Nameless Dwarf.
Alone, bereft, and unable to forgive himself for the slaughter at the ravine, the Nameless Dwarf swears to do one last thing, even if it kills him: With Nils Fargin, the son of a Jeridium guild lord as his guide, Nameless pursues the survivors among the dwarves, hoping to convince them that the curse of the Black Axe has been lifted from him and they are safe to return home.The trail leads to the town of Malfen--a nest of cutthroats and the gateway to Cerreth, the Land of Nightmare, which would be suicide for the dwarves to enter.Nameless and Nils join forces with a shapeshifting assassin and a sorcerer under the sway of a dubious magical grimoire for the hazardous journey into Cerreth. It soon becomes apparent their new companions have agendas of their own.With threats from within and horror on every side, Nameless knows that time is running out for his people. The only surprise is that they have lasted so long.But new hope awaits him in a city beneath the waves--if he can first survive the unstoppable evil that destroyed the dwarf lords of old.
Captured by the survivors of his massacre at Arx Gravis, the Nameless Dwarf is sentenced to die. The assassin Ilesa has abandoned him, and so it falls to the ex-rogue Nils and Silas the sorcerer to stage a rescue.But with the Lich Lord's grimoire obsessing him more and more, Silas suspects he is no longer in control of his own fate. Sick and close to death, he is drawn on by visions of a black staff within a forest of tar.As an ancient trap closes in on the companions, the last of the dwarves are threatened with extinction at the hands of ravenous beasts that live only to feed.And in the background, orchestrating it all, an implacable horror Nameless thought had been destroyed: A skull with crimson eyes that feast on living souls.All that remains of Otto Blightey, the Lich Lord of Verusia.
This is a collection of the five primary and canonical councils that were held by the Church of the East in Sassanian Mesopotamia in an effort to establish the Christology of the church, as well as its relationship to the Church of the Roman Empire. There are five councils in total, all presides over by the reigning patriarch at the time. These doctrines include the consolidation of power at the capital at Seleucia-Ctesiphon, creating uniformity of the bishops of the church, and establishing the episcopal autonomy of the church from its western counterpart.
Radegund was a Thuringian princess and Frankish queen of the Merovingian dynasty. She is also remembered as an early Frankish saint of the Catholic Church. Among other accomplishments, she founded the major Abbey of the Holy Cross at Poitiers and Jesus College of Cambridge University. Her biography is told her by the Latin poet St. Venantius Fortunatus, then a hymnographer at the court of the Frankish kings.
Pope Adrian I sought to establish the church under the protection of the Frankish king, Charlemagne. In his effort to draw himself closer to the Frankish court he needed to institute a sense of 'reformatio' which would correct the episcopal abuses of the church, reinforce the claims of the Papal Curia, and distance Rome from the authority of Constantinople. In doing so Pope Adrian created these clauses of church law to emphasis that changes that would take place under his papacy.
