The Relic Triangle Trilogy: Books 1-3 and Compendium
A prophecy had been passed through generations and across dimensional
portals about a very accomplished wise man whose most prized possessions
were those of his three identical daughters. All of which were to marry
a suitor of their father's choice on the eve of their womanhood. Then,
the wiseman would take his own life knowing his daughters would always
be provided for and solidify his greatest accomplishment.
Every detail had been meticulously orchestrated until that fateful
night before the ceremony. An evil deity looking on, jealous of each
of the daughters' untainted virtues: prowess, wisdom, and courage appeared
before the daughters and swallowed them alive. The mighty deity then
went before the wiseman and told him his daughters would suffer for
a thousand cycles inside his belly. The ceremony was halted when the
suitors got wind and bolted. The old man, determined to preserve his
daughters' dignity, conjured up a powerful magic spell which slaughtered
them inside the beast and recovered the only thing that he could ever
have: their essence. Each of the daughter's essence was placed inside
an exquisite relic reminiscent of her individual virtue. Fearing retaliation
from the deity, he scattered them across all of Eldan to better ensure
their safety. One dey, he prophesied, a Chosen One would appear with
the virtues of a hundred hymarians uniting the three daughters again.
This being will reap a thousand cycles of peace to his dynasty, at which
time a wish will be granted that would satisfy every mortals desire.
Many cycles have passed since then. What are the three relics that
hold the essence of the legendary daughters? Where have the ancient
relics gone? Has the mighty deity's craving been satisfied? The Kublatas,
an ancient race of time-caretakers, are the only ones who truly know
the true secrets of the Relic Triangle. They seem to have a special
interest in one Kreelos Urandees - an unaccomplished boy on the continent
of Atracia, as being the legendary Chosen One. Their only concern is
an unforeseen evil entity acting as a weed in the garden of time threatening
to upset the balance of Eldan's destiny. Each book in The Relic Triangle
Trilogy unlocks the mystery behind each of the relics, its origin, and
powers until the final climax in The Crystal Troll of Skara Bray where
all will be revealed!
Book 1 of The Relic Triangle Trilogy: The Inner Circle
After
being lost for ten cycles, young Kreelos Urandees has become heir to
his late father's kingdom, which was shattered by a horrible civil war
in his absence. He must deal with a rising force to the south that is
ruled by the wise council of the Inner Circle. It possesses The Crystal
Vase of Purity, a relic of immense magic able to harness the powers
of nature. It is so powerful it created their entire homeland of Sabania:
a perfect land in every way with lush meadows, fertile crops, and beautiful
weather all cycle long. The merciless leader of the Inner Circle, Vuldeemus
I, will try to coerce the peoples of Atracia into annexation by unleashing
the deadly Trials of Consequence. Kreelos must unify an extremely bitter
realm deeply embroiled in a struggle for pure water. He needs all four
me'dynasties to ally once again to mount a suicidal plunge into the
heart of the heavily fortified black empire before Atracia is brought
to its knees. In a spectacular finish, the strong-willed forces of Kreelos
battle the haunting troops of Vuldeemus & The Inner Circle in the ultimate
war for control of Atracia. The loser will hopelessly watch their homeland
crumble into nothingness in a manner of moments!
Book 2 of The Relic Triangle Trilogy: The Bastynax Chasm
In
a newly acquired era of peace, Kreelos oversees the completion of a
new damn in the former Kent Me'Dynasty when a large earthquake threatens
all of Atracia. Something is pulling the entire continent down into
the Bastynax Chasm. A race against time down into the chasm is led to
find the cause. Many dangers along the way damage bodies, egos, and
confidence in a grueling test of wills to accomplish their goal. Deep
in the chasm, they unexpectedly find a backwards city called Agstam
that has never seen outsiders. The welcome is not warm, but they have
reason to believe they have found the answer seek. These people magically
gather their water from a massive waterfall by means of a magic tree
called The Great Oak of Eternal Pull. This tree magically pulls
all of Agstam's water to them, but is also pulling Atracia down into
the chasm. But the problem goes deeper. Someone or something doesn't
want them there and will do everything in its great power to make sure
of it. It has a firm stranglehold on Agstam, yet the people there remain
totally loyal and protective of it. This mysterious adventure comes
to fiery climax as Kreelos again tries to save his realm from total
devastation.
Book 3 of The Relic Triangle Trilogy: The Crystal Troll of Skara
Bray
A
challenge has been issued by the Grand Hymarian of Eldan, Zag Yafaspus:
Find the five pieces of the key that unlock the Crystal Troll of
Skara Bray, bring it to the Grand Citadel, and all of Eldan will
be saved along with the princess' hand in marriage. The troll must be
delivered unbroken to Toppee Barrera before it awakens and causes a
great cataclysm. With a little incentive from the lovely Grand Princess
Physondretta, Kreelos is in the chase. If the problem of finding the
grail of Eldan, which hasn't been seen for hundreds of cycles, wasn't
bad enough, Kreelos' twisted stepbrother is back. This time, he has
an ancient, evil wizard with him and a heavy thirst for revenge. Follow
Kreelos and his friends through this whirlwind adventure as they travel
to legendary Havenwood, mysterious and elegant Chupsweet Palace, and
Skara Bray: the site of the final epic battle between good and evil.
Can Kreelos find the Troll in time before his enemies destroy him? Find
out in this exciting last installment of the Eldan Chronicles!
Special Supplement to The Relic Triangle Trilogy: Tobagins
The
mystery figure that's been following Kreelos is finally revealed in
this special edition. He is L'mon Tibdigerod, an illustrious Tobagins
player from Erandoa. Tobagins - Coltanese for troglodytes - is the most
popular game in Eldan that involves magic dice that turn into troglodyte
warriors that battle to the death when thrown. L'mon has been barred
from playing in The Delbrokafeena Classic, which he desperately needs
to win. An outstanding debt to a powerful, sentient sword named Nivel
Keebees has led to the capture of his family. The only way to get his
family back is to win this Tobagins tournament on Wisha and give the
trophy, The Diamond Thaggis, to Keebees. Having hopped countless dimensions
for krowns, he finally chooses Kreelos to be his unofficial and illegal
proxy in the tournament. They are very short on time, as there are only
3 deys until the start of the tournament. They need to piece together
a complete set of tobagins pieces, practice day and night, and literally
stay alive. Backstabbing, double-crossing, and murder are as much a
part of the game as the actual tournament itself. Armed with only the
Zipper of Dimensions, they head for the Grand Barpin House on Wisha
where they'll be up against the best and meanest Tobagins players on
Eldan. It's not the way you play the game; it's whether you can get
to the game alive!
This special supplement is truly one of the unique qualities about
this series. Tobagins is intended to be read at the halfway point of
Book #2: The Bastynax Chasm. But you don't have to; you can read it
before reading any of the books, after reading all the books, or when
it was intended without affecting any of the storylines. A very different
adventure that involves just Kreelos. L'mon Tibdigerod plucks him from
his dimension on the side of the chasm and puts him back after the tournament
is over without any break in Kreelos' timeline. Thus, it can be read
at any time!
