Fantasy War

The monstrous Carryx empire was built by subjugation and war. Thousands of species are bound to their Sovran’s command in an endless, blood-soaked test: be useful in the eternal conflict or be slaughtered. Dafyd Alkhor, highest among their human captives, is feared and despised by the very people he champions.

In the shadows, away from the petty squabbles of man sit the gods of Redwater, watching their subjects fight like children. Yet, they do nothing to stop them. Perhaps they don't deem it a significant enough war to intervene. Maybe it isn't that they aren't doing anything—rather, that they can't do anything.
