Raven True Power

Galactic Power

Centuries after the Humans of Old Earth were liberated from the control of a foreign power, they now thrive hand in hand with the Eran Federation. After being exploited for all of its resources by the invading power, Old Earth has long been designated as one of the several waste dumps within the Galactic Quadrant ruled by the Federation. Long disposed of by those meant to look after him, August Field, a descendent of Old Earth, is sent back to his origins where survival is dependent on luck and fate, and water is just as scarce as the presence of life. Surrounded by what is the remnants of what was once a thriving planet, all of August's present academic understanding is limited by Old Earth's lacking development. August's entire world view is upturned when he encounters a liquid metal artifact that had landed and settled on the abandoned planet. When the artifact assimilates with August, technological information that appears to be eons more developed than that of Old Earth, and from the few memories he has of his life before the wasteland, tens of millenniums further than the Eran Federation. What are the secrets behind this artifact? From where did it come? Who had the ability to create something as advanced as this artifact? And how far will will others go to get their hands on it? *** There will be several chapters in the beginning that try to give context to the world before the main character is introduced. I recommend that they be read simply for the sake of understanding the world in the novel just a little better. Hang in there and you will meet the MC soon enough! Thanks for giving this novel a hot

Lord Raven's Court

In the year 556 of the Runtallian Calendar, a war broke out in the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Runtallia between the eastern overlord, Duke Gaverone Walruse of Regalia, and the barbarian chief-thane known as Dariun Drunzelle of the Shiradonii tribe, one of the Four Great Tribes of Norsmund, a nation that borders the Kingdom, deemed to be the land of brutes and savages. As the Duke of Regalia marches with his army to defend the disputed land of Kurlon, the barbarians have taken such an opportune moment to launch another incursion near the eastern border of Regalia near the town of Flendle, with the intention of dividing his army. However, despite accepting the town and the surrounding local lords' territories as lost cause in the war in favor of Kurlon– a newly discovered territory bountiful with veins of iron and other minerals– the Duke tasks his third son, Lord Velmund Walruse, along with his retinue, the Order of the Raven Knights, to fend off the attack. Now faced with the plight of defending the border town against a 5,000-strong Norsmundi army with his few yet skilled knights, along with an ill-equipped and undermanned militia, Lord Velmund has no choice but to fulfill his duty as a noble, relying upon his wits and his few but capable retainers to survive his first battle at the tender age of sixteen summers and winters. Contrary to his timid, youthful, and innocent appearance, however, lies his sly and scheming nature, evident by his fondness of dark magical arts specializing in illusion spells. Nevertheless, he himself has no idea of what he is capable of, and what he is destined to become. Meanwhile, further east at the frontier with Norsmund, a plot hatches to ensnare the Duke within the clutches of his treacherous vassals. Not only his life is threatened by these schemes, but his sons Theo and Varus as well. With this scheme put into motion, the Duke and Velmund's siblings, Varus and Theo, would taste fate's twisted humor, with the former meeting his demise in a blaze of glory amidst the field of battle, and the latter two vanishing in incidents shrouded by mysteries. With the death of the patriarch of Regalia and his heirs' disappearance, the young lord who was initially third in line for the succession of the ducal seat became its temporary occupant. And thus, the tale of him and his court begins… CHAPTER RELEASE: January 1st at 12:00 UTC
