But, no matter what the culture to be found on Maldene, be it Human, Elf, Thirdocian, or anything else, there is one mythology that comes before them all: that of The Olden Gods.

The dalnmar (continent) of My-Thov is the biggest on Maldene by far, and doesn’t do anything in half-measures. For instance, The Great Desert is named that with very good reason; between Funnel Storms, innocent looking flowers that drawn all moisture within two dozen feet feet, 30-foot Sand Crab Beetles that hide beneath the sands ready …

The Coiled Dragon of the Greater Arcana represents restrained power, and what better visual of power than the sight of the highest mountains on Maldene, the mountains of the dalnmar (that’s ‘continent’ for you Earthers) of Frecaloth. In a world where there are ranges with mountains upwards of 20,000 to 40,000 or more in …

The weather on a world as large as Maldene, with three moons no less, can be a bit tricky, to say the least, and deserves to qualify as a character in itself.

There is a particular symbol you may have found squirreled away on my site, or perhaps crammed onto the edge of one of my graphics or at the end of the Maldene book trailer. You’ll even see it etched into that weird map found at the end of the first Maldene novel. You’ll find it …
