Nobody’s Quest (The Nobody Chronicles #1)

Chapter 23

The best and brightest among the Zhagarn once stood as the honor guard to the goddess Corvynne.

They considered the service to be a privilege and their right as the denizens of her domain.

There have long been rumors that after the Great Battle, in which the goddess imprisoned her sister, Artemisen, Corvynne’s closest advisors warned her that Altarra was falling out of balance.

They foretold dire consequences if she did not reverse her course of conquest and destruction.

After these warnings, the goddess of war and death fashioned the iron bands that all bound to her now wear on their arms. This magically spelled metal crushes its wearers’ free will.
