Tongue of Hauden — P.A. Seasholtz

Unity without strength, harmony without power - Hauden still weeps with the blood of slaughtered innocents. Laedian Fayersae's long struggle to unite the Houses and the Nations has succeeded, but despite her efforts that have ended the bloodlust, the cruel Dasyu and the ghastly Plague Bringers now vie for dominion over all, threatening to destroy the Othar of Hauden before they can coalesce around the power of the ancient fires. With their decision to fight, the <i>Aktsi'a Othar</i> plant the seeds of a new hope, a hope that the <i>Khe'kenha Othar</i> will discover their true role as servants of the land.
