About
Hundreds of years ago, a great evil rose and threatened to overcome the lands of Mantica. It was defeated by the Elves of House Cerillion, but its legacy remains in the form of the Bloodstone, a powerful a magical artefact. Held under guard deep within the great dwarfen stronghold of Mox, only a select few know of its existence... and even fewer know the truth of its origins.
With an ancient enemy once more on the march, the Elves of House Cerillion must race to the stone before it falls into the wrong hands. They might be the only hope of survival for the Mox - perhaps even the whole of Elvenholme - but the days of friendship between Elf and Dwarf are long gone, eroded away by petty squabbling and suspicions of deceit.
Can the scions of these ancient races put aside their differences, or will evil triumph in the lands of Mantica once and for all?
Novel inconsistencies/questions
- Where is the Stronghold of Mox, Ithris, Village of Kael located in Elvenholme?
- Is Kronos alive?
Reasons for Being Canon
As this novel was written early in KoW history, there are a lot of inconsistencies when compared to current canon, however the events still could have occured if:
- Kronos, who also was a necromancer, could have been Mhrogoth in disguise during Invasion Under the Ice Mountains to obtain more power to win the war. Mhrogoth used Blood Stones to enhance his power at the final battle at Ironhold Bridge. No other Blood Stones are known about and it is not clear where the blood stones Mhrogoth used came from
