Download or read book Rainier s Legacy written by Chad Corrie and published by Dark Horse Comics. This book was released on 2024-09-24 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Bard. Seven Tales. Join Corwyn Danther, “Famed Bard of the Midlands,” as he faces off with halfling highwaymen, long-forgotten horrors, mystical encounters, conniving con men, and an old flame with some questionable machinations, along with a few other surprises in this short story collection. With a mixture of humor, adventure, insight, and wonder get ready to explore Tralodren in a whole new light. No epic struggles. No grand, glorious schemes. Just a pragmatically pacifistic bard and some of his varied adventures. Welcome to Tralodren, a world rich in history, faith, and tales of adventure—of which these stories are but a handful of many. The seven stories included in this collection are: RAINIER’S LEGACY Corwyn takes part in an expedition to the Northlands looking for the answer of eternal life but soon finds himself in a wild adventure where his own life hangs in the balance. MAIDEN ROCK While visiting a shrine infrequently sought after by the faithful, Corwyn draws closer to the divine, birthing an encounter that will stay with him the rest of his life. WHERE DREAMS GO TO DIE During a strong downpour, Corwyn finds a cemetery next to an inn in which he takes shelter. He soon discovers, however, that this is no ordinary inn, and both it and the cemetery are more connected than he could ever imagine. CHARITY FOR HALFLINGS A fruitless search leads Corwyn and an old dwarven friend traveling alone on a road at night, wherein they meet up with some halfling highwaymen who receive more than they were expecting from the duo. SELLSWORDS AND SNAKE OIL When two demon hunters arrive in a small village, Corwyn and his dwarven friend get wrapped up in a strange series of events that become more confusing and life-threatening the further they progress. THE FORGOTTEN While running for his life in the Grasslands of Gondad, Corwyn comes upon a neglected memorial from a once mighty empire. Curious and eager to escape his pursuers, he begins an investigation, leading to a supernatural encounter. THE MORE THINGS CHANGE While on vacation for the summer, a request for aid from an old flame soon sends Corwyn into a mess of halfling thieves, ancient tombs, treasure, and some other rather messy issues he finds hard-pressed to get out of so easily. “Rainier’s Legacy is a devious, wild, fascinating collection of interconnected fantasy stories. Fans of Patrick Rothfuss and Joe Abercrombie will find so much to love here. Bravo!”—Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Kagen the Damned and Son of the Poison Rose “Corrie's vivid descriptions capture the imagination and bring life to the unique world of Tralodren...[a] land ripe with mythology and magic…”—Romantic Times on a previous edition “...worth a read as an entertaining, diverse, often humorous, yet thoughtful set of tales, with an interesting fantasy hero who doesn't need swords and wizardry to effect his ends.”—SF Site on a previous edition

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mount Rainier, a Record of Exploration" by Various is a challenging and fascinating collection of excerpts from the original accounts of the men who successfully found, explored, and first climbed this sky-shouldering Cascade Range mountain. During the summer of 1915, the mountain was for the first time encircled by a large company of travelers. Small parties, carrying their luggage and provisions on their backs, had made the trip a number of times. The Mountaineers Club, in 1915, conducted a party of one hundred, with a fully equipped pack train and commissary, around the mountain. They camped each evening at or near the snowline. At the daily campfires, extracts were read from the original sources of the mountain's history. The interest there manifested in such records gave an additional impulse to the preparation of this book.

Download or read book Where the Waters Begin written by Cecelia Svinth Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-04 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where the Waters Begin takes us up the Nisqually side of Mount Rainier through the traditional beliefs of the Nisqually people and their relationship to the bountiful natural resources the mountain offered them. The Nisqually are the original stewards of the prairies, mountains, and rivers west of the mountain on lands that are now Thurston and Pierce Counties. Living in a more natural world, without the complexities of today, they developed a coexistence with nature that included respect and appreciation of its beneficent forces as well as fear of its darker sides. The deep connection the Nisqually people developed with the mountain they called Ta-co-bet is best related through their traditional stories. Author and Nisqually tribal historian Cecelia Svinth Carpenter brings those stories to life here in Where the Waters Begin: the Traditional Nisqually Indian History of Mount Rainier.
