“The Great Ritual is the yoke that holds the cities together for the salvation of the people.”
From The Commentaries on The Great Ritual by Darl the Pious.
“The gods have left their towers, but the towers are forbidden to men, for they are full
of power still. These teeth of the gods will bite the unrighteous, the followers of
Godon.”
From The Great Ritual, chapter three, verse twenty-nine.
When the gods had cleansed the world with heavenly fire and forever banished the
demon Godon to the star that never sets, they had declared that they would return one
day to judge mankind. They left behind the Great Ritual to guide the remnant along the
proper path before vanishing from the daily lives of the people. For centuries the
eight clans ordained by the gods had occupied the cities of refuge and each city had
governed itself according to the dictates of the Great Ritual with the approval of the
priests.
A gifted young warrior, Albehr, believes in the gods, with reservations; but like many
in the City of the Rising Sun he chafes at the rigid bounds of the gods’ yoke and
worries about the growth of superstition among the people. Vicious murders, a chase
through the snow, the deceit and political rivalry of his second-in-command, Brandon,
lead him into a needless massacre and saving a young woman’s life by making her his
slave.
