Warriors went to Whitewall. Here we stood together, the last moot of the free. Here, with ruse and ritual and quest most desperate, defying the world’s wyrd, we held an Empire at bay for two long years.

Here we forged a tribe called Hurricane, birthed by a blue arrow, led by a high king’s courage, strengthened by a star queen’s wisdom, borne upon a desperate storm, forged by feat and fire and the bitter blade-clash of battle.

Here our eyes were opened. Here we forged a new vision, a new allegiance, a new way of living and dying.

Here the world changed, forever.

‘Ruin’ describes the journey of two Orlanthi exiles – a skald and a vingan – to the ruined city of WhiteWall. It is available for download in PDF format. ‘Ruin’, written and illustrated by John Hughes,  was first published in Ye Booke of Tentacles VI.
