![]() ![]() This work was created over a longer period of time than is usual for my art, so I have gathered together quite a few relevant musical works while I was working on it. In particular, some readers may wish to skip over a few paragraphs when the rusty lamp appears. ![]() Please be aware that this novel deals with some dark themes and emotions. If you have not played the games, all you will miss is the occasional small reference that is not important to the flow of the narrative. No knowledge of these games is required to enjoy this story, and all relevant parts of the games are either summarised or directly explained at certain points in the story. This story contains many elements of Avernum and Exodus, but it was designed for a reader who has no experience of any of the games at all. ![]() Kelandon’s games can be played through the ‘Blades of Avernum’ engine at no extra cost. If you have not played the Avernum series or Kelandon’s games, I can highly recommend them! You can find the Avernum series on the website of and Kelandon’s games on his own. That world is itself an expansion of the world of Avernum described in the game series of the same name developed by Spiderweb Software. It’s a short novella, set in the world of Kelandon’s Exodus. This work also comes with a work of fiction. The background is my own reworking of one of the backgrounds created by Andrew Hunter for the older ‘Blades of Avernum’ engine. The slith presented here is very close to the slith shown in that piece of art. I created this work as a study to learn how to draw the slith form, and I was strongly inspired by his piece of art ‘In the Service of New Allies’ produced for the game ‘Avernum 2: Crystal Souls’. I should mention that this illustration is very strongly influenced by a piece of art made by the artist Ben Resnick. I’m not sure if he will see this, but if he does, I hope that he finds it enjoyable! This work is a giftart for Kelandon, the creator of a number of excellent fan games including Bahssikava, Exodus and The Magic. “He shouldn’t have to suffer this alone.” ![]()
