About The Author
Introduction
In my account of what has lately been called the Welderan War, I have found it necessary to consider the conflict, not merely as it occurred, but by tracing the more important persons back to their roots. Only in this way have I been able to make the chaotic events of recent times understandable. My reader should not be surprised, then, to find that the first three books of this treatise seem, at first glance, alien one to another, and wholly separated. But when at last these three threads are bound together, as they are in the fourth and fifth books, then at last the whole tapestry will appear comprehensible where it might otherwise have seemed to be without sense or order.

The Legacy of Galvahir
