Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it. No man or beast has ever succeeded. Until now. . . Abandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone -- indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. But all that is about to change. Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage.

Download or read book The Quintessential Kg written by Kemp Gregory and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, the author has included 130 poems that have both appeared in nine manuscripts he has written and in 40 magazines that have accepted his work. In this way, Kemp Gregory has attempted to give a representative sampling of his life-long commitment to the "sullen craft and art" he has been committed to since his junior year in college (1968). However, each piece has been chosen not simply to be "representative." Such an attempt is ultimately sterile. The author likes the poems chosen, and he has considered the responses of many readers who have enjoyed particular poems in this collection. The author hopes that The Quintessential kg will find some new readers who love poetry and the intense, nuanced appreciation of existence, in both its positive and negative aspects, that poetry, above all, seems to give the reader who is unafraid to face the complexities of truth.
Download or read book The Quintessential Jesus of Nazareth written by Allison Sledge and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Quintessential Jesus of Nazareth: An Astrological Interpretation of The Messiah's Natal Chart is one of the most profound metaphysical books ever written in terms of exploring all aspects of the Universe in relation to Jesus Christ. The Bible omits seventeen years of His life, and not much is know about Jesus as a person. What were His thoughts, His Moods, His concept of Self? How did He feel about money, treasures communications, family, health, humor, service, romance, talent and love? What were His fears, His joys, His inner spiruality? What were His views on friendships, death, addiction and pain? This book takes the readers through these phases that made Him who He was. It is based on a natal astrological chart and the day of His birth being March 19th, 7 BC. Because there is no true and accurate date of His exact birth, this date was chosen for many reasons, especially Edgar Cayce's reading of March 19th being the day He was born. Many people have their own versions and opinions based on their own understanding of Jesus, yet this book was written to open the minds of limited thinking, whether one agrees or disagrees with the concepts . It is with that attitude of inclusiveness rather than exclusiveness that the Author anticipates great discussions arising among people of all walks of life, after reading this book. It is a must have for everyone's bookshelves, to be sure.

Despite being showered with riches and securing a top job in the Dwarf Kingdom’s most distinguished smithy, the talented blacksmith felt the course of events was taking him further and further from his life’s goal: to craft the ultimate legendary weapon. However, an encounter with a human merchant puts him on a new, much darker path to fulfilling his dream, and with his goal now in sight, Naano will stop at nothing to craft a legendary sword, even if it means spilling the blood of countless innocents. Meanwhile, Light’s quest for revenge on Naano leads to him striking a deal with the ruler of the Dwarf Kingdom, King Dagan, but will aiding him to explore some vast, labyrinthine ruins replete with deadly traps and powerful guardians from which no one has returned prove to be an unwise undertaking?
Download or read book The Slayer s Guide to Female Gamers written by James Desborough and published by . This book was released on 2002-11-26 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a source of much mystery and consternation to your average role-player, The Female Gamer and the female of the species in general. The only culture present here should be examined under a slide and given a long Latin name before being exterminated with penicillin. None of this should be taken as offensive, though it probably will be. If you cannot see that we are also taking the Mickey out of male gamers as much, if not more, than gamers of the female persuasion then you need a humour transplant and a kick up your pert, well rounded, tightly chain mail clad arse. Please accept that most gamers do not have issues with women - they have a subscription, a complete collection from issue one and fancy binders to keep them in. Female gamers are a completely unknown quantity to the vast and overwhelming majority of gamers, though matters have been ever so slowly changing in that regard. As these creatures become more populous in the gaming fraternity it behooves the male gamer to at least make an attempt understand this creature and to make preparations for their increasing invasion. It would not do to be caught unawares by any new creature or trap and every adventurer's motto should be 'Be prepared', rather than 'Experience points! Chaaaaaarge!'
Download or read book Ventriloquism Performance and Contemporary Art written by Jennie Hirsh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ventriloquism, Performance, and Contemporary Art volume calls attention to the unexpected prevalence of ventriloqual motifs and strategies within contemporary art. Engaging with issues of voice, embodiment, power, and projection, the case studies assembled in this volume span a range of media from painting, sculpture, and photography to installation, performance, architecture, and video. Importantly, they both examine and enact ventriloqual practices, and do so as a means of interrogating and performatively bearing out contemporary conceptions of authorship, subjectivity, and performance. Put otherwise, the chapters in this book oscillate seamlessly between art history, theory, and criticism through both analytical and performative means. Across twelve essays on ventriloquism in contemporary art, the authors, who are curators, historians, and artists, shine light on this outdated practice, repositioning it as a conspicuous and meaningful trend within a range of artistic practices today. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, contemporary art, media studies, performance, museum/curatorial studies, and theater.

Download or read book Ember in the Forge written by H. T. Martineau and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-05 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her middle years, the mining dwarf Ember is well set in her ways. Her position as the master blacksmith of Eldur Hollow is a surety that has never been challenged. However, after Ember sees a green light cross the sky, she swings her hammer in her forge and sets the whole burrow ablaze, destroying all she has worked decades to create. Unbeknownst to any in Ambergrove outside the forbidden lands, the Age of Magic has begun. Kaenye, the god of fire, is Ember’s only hope at learning how to control her newfound magic and return to the life she’s always known. With nothing but meager supplies and a command to find a woman in a red dress in Port Albatross, Ember leaves her home behind and ventures into a world that distrusts her and the destruction that unwittingly comes at her hands. Ember is a maker, but harnessing her magic and convincing those she meets—and herself—that fire magic is not something to fear is a task for a giant, not a mining dwarf. As Ember relearns how to live, she also learns that magic has a purpose, and she is not the only one who needs to learn how to harness her fire. This mining dwarf has her heart set on returning to the forge, but as long as there is an ember, the fire will burn—and the life within the flame is not always what we expect.
