The Cyrean Songs - The Esfah Sagas Joseph W Joiner

The Cyrean Songs is a collection of stories which occur in the world of Esfah. This omnibus contains four publications:

Chill Wind: A vaghan dwarf soldier, Geril sa'Ghuren, returns to his home of Balgavarr Reaches after a horrific battle at the faraway coral elf city of Tulgesh. With most of his friends killed and the city captured by the invading lava elves, he despairs that the lava elves may next discover the dwarven city before his people can prepare.

Eye of the Storm: Coryn sa'Geril, daughter of the famed hero of Balgavarr Reaches, is best friends with Ra'al, a monstrous creature of the frozen north. Ra'al happens to be the son of another champion-a king who died to save the Kafnysan Mountains decades ago. Together, they travel to Tulgesh in hopes of enlisting aid from the selumari, the blue elves, fearing that the worst has happened: the undead have been moving unchecked in the tundra for centuries...

Secrets of the Shadowlands: Broken and bloodied from the siege of their home, the dwarves of Balgavarr Reaches launch an offensive to save their allies in the Shadowlands stronghold of Castle Ice. But the selumari airship they've commandeered can only do so much in the face of such great evil.

Thunderfist and the Dragon: The mountain dwarves of Balgavarr Reaches hold territory the neighboring kingdom wants. When a presumptuous lava elf from Uruzak forms an alliance with the goblins a terrifying force grants the dwarves' enemy the key to an ancient evil: plans to resurrect the elder dragon who once plagued the mountains and nearly drove the dwarves from their home once before..

In the mid 1990s D& D ruled the fantasy gaming landscape and Dragonlance, Forgotten Realms, Ravenloft, and many other books and gaming worlds were a part of. In 1995 it's publisher, TSR, created Esfah and Dragon Dice, an award winning fantasy game. The Esfah Sagas is that word's tale.
