The dark waters of time swirled about the archmage’s black robes, carrying him and those with him forward through the years. The sky rained fire, the mountain fell upon the city of Istar, plunging it down, down into the depths of the ground. The sea waters, taking mercy on the terrible destruction, rushed in to fill the void. The great Temple, where the Kingpriest was still waiting for the gods to grant him his demands, vanished from the face of the world. Even those sea elves who ventured into the newly-created Blood Sea of Istar looked in wonder at the place where the Temple had stood. There was nothing there now but a deep black pit. The sea water within was so dark and chill that even these elves, born and bred and living beneath the water, dared not swim near it. But there were many on Ansalon who envied the inhabi- tants of Istar. For them at least, death had come swiftly. For those who survived the immediate destruction on Ansalon, death came slowly, in hideous aspect—starvation, disease, murder .

Here’s a path. How strange. All the times we’ve been hunting in these woods and we’ve never seen it.” “It’s not so strange. The fire burned off some of the brush, that’s all. Probably just an animal trail.” “Let’s follow it. If it is an animal trail, maybe we’ll find a deer. We’ve been hunting all day with nothing to show for it. I hate to go home empty-handed.” Without waiting for my reply, she turns onto the trail. Shrugging, I follow her. It is pleasant being outdoors today, the first warm day after the bitter chill of winter. The sun is warm on my neck and shoulders. Walking through the fire-ravaged woods is easy. No vines to snag you. No brush to tear at your clothing. Lightning, probably that thunderstorm which struck late last fall. But we walk for a long time and finally I begin to grow weary. She is wrong—this is no animal trail. It is a man-made path and an old one at that. We’re not likely to find any game. Just the same as it’s been all day. The fire, then the hard winter: The animals dead or gone. There’ll be no fresh meat tonight. -

Goldmoon Said Softly. the Day's March Had Been Difficult, but the Reward at the End Was Beyond Their Dreams. the Companions St
E lf “I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED SUCH BEAUTY EXISTED,” Goldmoon said softly. The day’s march had been difficult, but the reward at the end was beyond their dreams. The companions stood on a high cliff over the fabled city of Qualinost. Four slender spires rose from the city’s corners like glisten- ing spindles, their brilliant white stone marbled with shining silver. Graceful arches, swooping from spire to spire, soared through the air. Crafted by ancient dwarven metalsmiths, they were strong enough to hold the weight of an army, yet they appeared so delicate that a bird lighting on them might overthrow the balance. These glistening arches were the city’s only boundaries; there was no wall around Qualinost. The elven city opened its arms lovingly to the wilderness. —Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn Twilight Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living females are about the same height, and males are only in the world but not entirely part of it.

Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman
THE LOST CHRONICLES VOLUME ONE Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman PROLOGUE tanding over the bloody body of the fallen Dragon Highlord Verminaard, the aurak dra- conian, Dray-yan, saw his destiny flare before him. The brilliant flash hit him with the force of a comet falling from the sky, burning his blood and sending a tingling sensation throughout his scaly body down to his clawed fingers. After the initial burst, a cascade of more ideas followed, showering down on him. His entire plan formed in seconds. Dray-yan whipped off his ornate cloak and dropped it over the body of the Dragon Highlord, hiding the corpse and the large pool of blood beneath it from view. The aurak draconian was panicked, or so it must appear to those watching. Shouting furiously for help, he grabbed several baaz (draconians of lowly stature, notable for their obtuse gullibility) and ordered them to fetch a litter. 3 The Lost Chronicles “Make haste! Lord Verminaard is grievously wounded! We must carry Lord Verminaard to his chambers! Swiftly! Swiftly, before his lordship succumbs to his wounds.” Fortunately for Dray-yan, the situation inside the for- tress of Pax Tharkas was chaotic: escaping slaves, two red dragons battling each other, the sudden thunderous fall of tons of rocks blocking the pass and crushing a vast number of soldiers. No one was paying any atten- tion to the fallen Highlord being carried inside the fortress or to the aurak who was accompanying him. When Verminaard’s corpse was safely inside his chambers, Dray-yan shut the doors, posted the baaz draconians who had carried the litter outside as guards, and gave orders that no one was to enter. -
