Blades of Alaroth Ryan Stuver

The realm of Alaroth has seen two separate wars in the last thirty years-bloody conflicts in which the Rainecourt dynasty came out victorious. One reason for their successes was thanks to the legendary Guardian of the Crownlands, Aldin Edrich. Years after the fighting has ended, Aldin retires to starts a family. While out fishing by a lake, he comes upon Lucan and Oaklee, a pair of wood elves whose home has been destroyed. With nowhere for the boys to go, Aldin decides to take the two in and raise them amongst his other children. As time passes, a new war has begun-a war that will determine the fate of Alaroth. As he fears, the Rainecourts will soon come to call on Aldin to fight again. Aldin's sons have grown into quite formidable fighters, particularly Lucan, who has a potential unlike anything Aldin has ever seen. However, Lucan feels he has no part in the coming war. Instead, he wishes to branch out and see the world, form his own group of companions, and forge his own destiny. Once the fighting finds its way to the Crownlands, Lucan finds that he cannot escape the War of Shields.
