The Green Candle

In ancient times a super volcano was forged and slowly cooled. In the following age a race of dwarves carved out a civilization in the immense dark mountain only to eventually be wasted away by a hideous unknown evil leaving their halls to be inhabited by awful monsters and a cult of blind sub-humans. When the people of the Jaredites arrived in the land near the mountain and built a great kingdom they had no idea of the shocking events that would soon transpire in relation to the shadowy recesses of the mountain. A sorcerer took the mountain for himself and with a secret order of minions reached out from the mountain to rule the cities of men outside. Having been apprised of this great evil the mighty king of the Jaredites marshaled his armies in a great campaign to destroy the sorcerer in his lair only to be imprisoned there with all the ranks of his host. There in the darkness the sorcerer then became the Overmind as he stripped away the humanity, and the memory, of his prisoners and ruled over this new civilization of doomed souls. In the land there was an order of men endowed with wisdom from the Gods called the Magi that undertook an expedition into the heart of the dark mountain to find survivors that would be bold enough to believe that there was a world outside and to fight to escape. Deep in the darkness the Magi found Han. He was a young man blessed with visions and dreams that soon gathered a small band who resisted the Overmind. This book is the chronicle of their resistance, and a window into their innermost thoughts, their struggles, and their source of hidden power. As such anyone that is interested in fighting the current that leads men to any type of darkness ought to take interest in this book. If they take the opportunity to learn the teachings it contains they will become the champion of everyone that wishes to journey from darkness into light, they will gain power and immortality, and obtain an association with the Gods.
