The
Unicorn is a mythical horse-like beast, with a horn attached on its forehead.
Unicorns can live to be hundreds, perhaps even thousands of years old if left
untouched by evil hands. There is little genuine fact known about the animal,
due to it being mainly a creature of myth and legend. The elves see in the Unicorn is the symbolic animal
of Foiros, God of the Sun, representing in
its uniqueness and purity the sun, the Injèrá,
and thus the High Goddess Avá the One, She
Who Dreameth Forth All Things.

"FATE TAKES YOUR HAND" (TRACK #1)
ORIGINALLY TITLED "FATE TAKES YOUR HAND" (CANDYMAN TRIBUTE)
With "The Journey" the famous Manthrian poet
Monsonius created a highly influential short story that would reverberate many
centuries in the future. And this even though Monsonius kept working on this
rather short piece of literature until his death, never satisfied with the
result. Only with Chyrán of Caelum this fascinating kind of incongruous, yet
beautiful image-laden story-telling would find a new master, serving as
inspiration for his famous poetic novel "The Ring".
Unlike other stories the extraordinary tale of the "Journey" is unique in the
way this captivating text progresses and manages to hold one's interest by
constantly changing perspectives. In the "Journey" we follow the invitation of
an unknown person and are led to dive into a world full of mysteries, oddities,
images and visions. Where nothing is what it is supposed to be, the reader soon
gets lost and more and more entangled in questions, drawn into a dreamlike
kaleidoscope of events that seem to lead even further away from the ultimate
goal of finding that unknown someone. But will the journey ever end? And who's
waiting on the other end of what might just be a dream? Or is it?.

"WHAT THE DRAGON HEARD"
Annils Norgerinth (236-212
b.S.) was a hero of the ancient
Avennorians, respectively of the region of the current village of Nepris (Nehlan in former times) in the
eastern Santharian province of Manthria. Norgerinth was a simple
fisherman, who proved his courage in the last year of his young life when he led
the inhabitants of the smaller fishing villages east of the Mithral Mountains against an
advance guard of the orcish army during the
Third Sarvonian War. With the means he could gather, Norgerinth successfully
defended Crazy Woman Pass against
the invaders till support from the 7th royal division of the Avennorians arrived
to repel the orcs and to re-conquer already lost
territory. Tough the battle at Crazy Woman Pass
was only a minor one during SW III, it was crucial for the survival of
the fishing villages near the Adanian coast. Therefore Norgerinth is still
celebrated as a local hero. His remains rest in a tomb hewn in stone by the Mitharim dwarves of the Mithral, only a small distance
away from Crazy Woman Pass and near
the Toran Falls.
