In the world of Lo’Et Sha’Eroth, or Eroth, it is the 3483rd year of the Third Era. Hashim Akimidi is preparing for life as a soldier in the Kingdom of Galyria, when his life is thrown into a tailspin. He and some of his classmates have been called upon to defend the neighboring nation of Wirrshol from a terrifying threat. This threat is the Galyrian Empire, which conquered the Eastern half of the world at a breakneck speed five hundred years ago. Their nation is founded on worship of the Above — the divine ordering principle of the universe — and absolute loyalty to their silent, nameless king. And now, the Silent King has made his wishes clear. Ironhorn, capital of Wirrshol, and the lynchpin of resistance against the Galyrians, must fall. As Hashim is called to aid in the defense against this Silent King and his armies, he discovers that his role might be much larger than he ever imagined. A lost system of magic, a God-King from an era past, and the secrets of an ancient people from whom all men are descended — Hashim must come to know of all these things, if he hopes to fulfill his role in La’Et Sha’Eroth — The Land of the Promise. ========================= “Heaven has come down upon us like Snow upon a Mountaintop, and the Depths of the Sea sing of the Sky.     —__=_-_-=_-=_=_==++.  [missing]    ——_====___++===.

The focus of this story is really the world, and the cultures and religions which populate it. Of course, I aim to make the characters compelling and fulfilling to read, but I want the world to be a character in itself, if you know what I mean. I am hoping to update this story at least a few times a week, and probably every day for the first week or two. I really hope you enjoy the story! :)
