This is the story of Baveras, the Water Goddess
that wished to bring life to the barren, sun-scorched wastelands of the
Rahaz-Dath. After consulting Jeyriall, the Goddess of the Harvest, Baveras
learns that the life she holds so dear cannot exist without water and takes it
upon herself to irrigate the desert. She pleads Foiros, the God of the Sun, to
have mercy on the land but soon finds that the Burning God is a God of Justice not of mercy:
only that which deserves to live should survive the intense heat of the Injčrá.
Distressed and disappointed Baveras turns to the Weather Lord, Grothar, for help
– but will his support be enough to overcome the will of Foiros?
Read on to discover how Urtengor, the God of the Forge, is cajoled
into an alliance with the Mistress of the Sea. But not all gods are
benevolent or so easily enticed… Bear witness to what she must do to
rise above the caprices of Etherus and thwart the jealous schemes of
Queprur, the Goddess of Death herself. Follow Baveras on her quest and
discover as she has how precious a commodity Life is and what a fine
balance must exist between the elements – and their masters – for it
to exist. And perhaps find consolation in the knowledge that even the
Gods despair sometimes and consult the Universe for advice, just as we
turn to them for guidance and assistance…
