The elves of Kyrnn are the most long-lived creatures inhabiting their world. This race is divided into two kinds, the house elves who live in self-constructed cities, and the wild elves who prefer to live in the forests. This book tells us in 3 parts about the history of the Kagonesti, the tribe of wild elves named after the first leader, Kagonos, who had been summoned by a silver dragon and given a ram's horn as a symbolic means of his leadership. The second and third part tell of their first positive interaction with humans and the days leading up to the time where their clan is facing destruction. | ||
