The Chronicles of Wetherid are written for readers of epic fantasy who value a layered world, political tension, and a carefully constructed narrative. The series explores power, responsibility, and the consequences of past decisions in a world whose established order begins to fracture. Magic, alliances, and intrigue influence the course of events, as does the effort to preserve freedom and cohesion against forces driven by domination and control.
Wetherid is a world marked by a long-established history, clearly defined geographical structures, and distinct cultures. Landscapes, realms, and settlements are clearly delineated and follow an internal order. The peoples of Wetherid possess their own traditions, lineages, and social structures, which shape their relationships with one another. History, space, and culture form a cohesive framework that renders the world consistent and comprehensible in itself.
The narrative of The Chronicles of Wetherid unfolds across multiple interconnected storylines and develops into a coherent epic. Classical motifs of fantasy stand alongside newer narrative approaches, without undermining the internal continuity of the story. Battles, political decisions, and personal conflicts intersect and shape a narrative concerned with power, responsibility, and the boundaries between good and evil.
Power is shifting, resources are exploited without restraint, populations are set in motion, and distrust and envy shape decisions.
These developments deliberately point to real conflicts and crises of humanity.
The narrative makes clear that no single people and no leader can overcome this situation alone.
Change is only possible through collective action. Such action, however, requires personal decisions: fear must be overcome, responsibility accepted, and self-interest set aside.
At the center lies the question of reliability. Companions are not proven by words, but by deeds. Unity does not arise on its own, but through repeated, deliberate decisions made under threat.
The Chronicles state that only through insight, willingness to sacrifice, and joint action can a way out of the crisis be found.
An epic high fantasy saga of power, truth, and the fractures beneath the world’s fragile order.
Fallgar rises.
Astinhod falters.
And in the shadows of an old world, something new begins to stir.
Twenty years after the fall of the Shadowlord Erwight of Entorbis, peace seems to have settled over Wetherid.
But the stillness is deceptive.
In the glacial valleys of the Nordland, atop the black cliffs of Raga Gur, and within the gilded halls of Astinhod, forces awaken — forces no one controls.
An orc shaman summons something that should never have existed.
The lords of Fallgar weave alliances of deception, calculation, and forbidden magic.
And in Astinhod, court and council descend into a bitter struggle for influence, loyalty — and survival.
At the same time, a small band of old companions is gathering once more.
What they seek is not only the seven lost artifacts —
but answers to what stirs behind the visible world.
The Companions:
But others seek the artifacts as well.
And not all of them wish to find them for the world’s salvation.
What sets this book apart:
📖 The Guardians of the Seven Artifacts is not a fast-paced adventure.
It is a journey through history, betrayal, and memory — into a world that can only be saved
by remembering what once held it together.
Part of The Chronicles of Wetherid, this volume can be read independently.
In tone, depth, and structure, it marks a clear evolution from its predecessor, The Legacy of the Elves.
For readers who take high fantasy seriously —
Not for the dragons, but for what they guard.
Not for the battles, but for what they break.
Not for the magic, but for what it reveals.
If you read Robin Hobb for her depth,
Tad Williams for his world,
Brandon Sanderson for his structure,
and Tolkien for his quiet gravity —
you may find something here that calls you home.
High Fantasy Adventure – A Classic Fantasy Book for Fans of Epic Stories

In a classic fantasy world, where ancient magic, the power of nature, and mythical creatures maintain the fragile balance between life and death, a sacred book stands at the heart of a breathtaking saga. For centuries, it has been guarded by the glorious Elves, the true protectors of Wetherid, holding the secret knowledge necessary to defend the land against the united assaults of the humans from Druhn, the sinister Orcs, Ogres, Gray Dwarves, Mist Elves, and the Undead of Fallgar, as well as other demonic forces.
When the sacred book suddenly disappears, an unusual group of heroes from various races – brave Elves, proud Dwarves, courageous humans, and mysterious Mages – embark on a perilous adventure journey to retrieve the lost artifact. This high-fantasy tale leads readers through dense, magical forests, magnificent cities, ancient kingdoms, and abandoned ruins inhabited by threatening creatures, dragons, secret societies, and the shadows of forgotten wizards.

The heroes must learn to overcome their differences, unite their unique talents and combat techniques, and face the epic battles to avert the looming darkness. The Chronicles of Wetherid - The Legacy of the Elves is a gripping epic fantasy book that captivates both young and adult readers with its blend of courage, friendship, loyalty, and the unwavering power of hope, which shines even in the darkest times.
With each turned page, readers discover a rich world full of magic, secrets, adventures, heroic journeys, intrigues, romance, alliances, and epic battles that will keep them enthralled. This fantasy adventure invites you to dive into The Chronicles of Wetherid and become part of a legend that transcends the boundaries of time and the depths of fantasy. Experience a story where spells, heroism, and mystical artifacts determine the fate of an entire kingdom.
In the thirteenth cycle, after the formation of the landmasses, long before the ancient era began, at the time when the flames in the Northland turned to ice and the High Lands had formed on the continent of Mendaris, fearsome, mighty dragons ruled Wetherid and fought against the gigantic, murdering wolves of Fallgar for dominion over the fire and frost-afflicted land. The cycle of life, of rebirth, was broken, and neither the dragons of Wetherid nor the wolves of Fallgar could claim victory after five thousand years of war.
A shadow spread over Wetherid and Fallgar, followed by a thousand years of darkness.
However, one day, a light accompanied by gloriously sounding horns was brought by the elves, the purest and most noble creatures, across the southern sea to the darkened continent, to Wetherid. The darkness was illuminated, and the scarred wounds of the land were healed, allowing new life to emerge.
The peoples, the peoples, shall live forever! A new era is now to emerge!

When the hard steel from Ib´Agier, driven by the dwarf's immense strength, struck the horn, not only did the stone floor shatter into many pieces, but so did the horn. "Good work from Ib´Agier," said Borlix and laughed.
"Elves have pointy ears and that's why they were often teased by humans. The Alliance of the Elves. I can almost remember the whole story now," thought Vrenli happily, but his joy disappeared as quickly as it had come.
"Our next destination are the ruins of Tawinn, where we will set up our night camp and cross Lake Taneth the next day. We must hurry. The attack of the forest goblins has cost us a day," said Gorathdin, who was closely observing the surroundings.
"Gorathdin, notify your friends of our plan. When you see light blue lightning strike from the top of the tower to the south side, proceed with them through the barrier," said Master Drobal, moving towards the glowing crystal ball.

"The Elves from the Glorious Valley will march with two thousand men through the Mistmoor to Ib´Agier. I wish for you all to make preparations so that we can depart in two days!" commanded the queen majestically.
