Summary:
The son of a trapper, raised by elves, befriended by animals, entrusted with magic, Barr was but a boy on a journey that had taken many, many lifetimes. Seeking to avenge his father’s death, he would cross into Lumintor, home to shapelings of all manner and size.
Little did he know, Revyn, the God of Change, had plans of his own, plans set in motion long before Barr was ever born. It was what Revyn had been waiting for, the time when one of the new races bore a child on its final lesson, a soul on the verge of enlightenment.
It was what Markus had awaited as well, enduring centuries of enchanted slumber so that he might one day rule all of Taellus – in Revyn’s name. The Emblems would no longer be hidden, and his revenants would stop at nothing to find them.
It had finally come, the journey’s end…
The Last Incarnation.
