The following passages have been recovered from the Novellas Adraedan, thought to be lost in the Great Fire many years ago. These stories are said to recount the annals of Adraedan, a powerful warlord who lived near a millenium ago.
The Bitter Alliance, pg. 12
His eyes flashed with rage as the great magus presented him with a fateful decision: "Join with me or perish". Adraedan was not used to being in the presence of a man powerful enough to destroy him. He was a warlord. He was a leader. He considered himself the most powerful combatant in the land until, of course, he met the magus Dyamirr.
Adraedan checked his anger, trembling with a feral rage. "I will join with you as leader of your armies." He knew this meant losing a portion of his notoriety, but he was without choice.
Dyamirr seemed pleased with Adraedan's decision and bestowed him with a magical blade. "This sword is your salvation. Cleave our enemies without respite and you will be rewarded."
