He’s setting up a war with the Commonwealth even though Empra Illuris wants peace. Meanwhile, a port in Osterra is raided and ruined by a godling enhanced force from Ishara led by the ambitious Priestlord Klovus. They slaughter a whole village and build a mighty fortress on the spot. While he’s struggling with this crisis, his Uncle Kollanan, the King of Norterra, encounters Frostwreths out of the north. Sandwreths come out of the desert after a storm at Bannriya, the capital city of Suderra and tell good King Aden Starfall that they intend to continue their war and want humans to help them.

Then they vanished for two thousand years, so the humans left behind assumed they had just wiped each other out. In the course of this war, they created humans to be servants, soldiers and slaves. The wreth split into two factions and warred among themselves. The god Kur then commanded the wreth to destroy the dragon and left, promising to come back when they had done it. To be honest, there still seems to be quite enough hate and evil left in his world. Then he discovered a flaw in his creation and put all the hate and evil into the form of a dragon called Ossus which he buried under a chain of mountains, at least according to legend. The god Kur created a planet ages ago and also made the wreth, a race of powerful sorcerers. It’s on the inside flap, so this is not a spoiler.
