The Storm Winds of Glazglubin


Storm Winds of Glazglubin Cover

"There's a monster in every man, boy. Within me, there is a host, and one day, it'll be yours to command." Too often these days, Kenji's mind turns to the words of his accursed father. When he fled the Old Country, he thought he had left the monsters behind, but now he sees them every day in the eyes of his friend and mentor. His world is about to crumble in a spasm of eldritch magic, and though he can see the face of his undoing so clearly in his nightmares, deep down, he knows that the first blow has already been struck.
As the tendrils of a soul plague lay claim on Aqualon's oldest and most powerful magocracy, the Lord of Wind, Kenji Sokolow, is cast down from his high tower, pressed to rally whatever forces he can find. But first, he has to survive...

A Synopsis of the World

Seventeen centuries of peace have allowed the people of Aqualon to flourish. Since the Great War, now known as the Age of Heroes, when the Old Gods rose up once more in vain, the world has become prosperous: powerful magocracies in the Middle Lands are going through a magical industrial revolution and rich tapestries of cultures flourish in the Yamato Mountain Range and the Seventeen Yonder Islands. These lie in the Corsic Ocean of the Ocean Belt beyond the 150 kilometer band of iron, the Iron Belt, which rings the planet around its equator.

And isolated from the rest: two technocracies so far beyond them that they could be thought to live in a world of their own. They are divided by their opposing views on integrating magic and technology, yet united in their quest for knowledge.

But who would have thought that none of these would start the next great war?

The HJT Gazette

The HJT Gazete has been an established newspaper throughout the Corsic Ocean for many centuries, boasting presses on many different islands.  
The Hank & Jordan & Tenzer Coporation has diversified quite a bit since its founding in 390 GE.   Turning into a lucrative business, they have reclaimed some of the old Hank & Jordan's cooper works and shipyards, opened profitable trading routes across the Corsic Ocean, and even published a series of story books called "Ferry Tales of the Ocean Belt", which boasts twenty-four large volumes by now and a roughly five-thousand issue story magazine called "Silfs of the Sea" has been in circulation around the Corsic Ocean and even the Great Land since 1304 GE, coming out monthly pretty much ever since.
  This magazine, "Silfs of the Sea", a loose anthology of only occasionally connected stories about the mysterious Stand-in Loan Ferries that work under the auspices of HJT part-time, has been published by the HJT Gazette, which was originally founded in 920 GE to circulate business news and job opportunities throughout the Corsic Ocean.   The newspaper quickly gained popularity in the decades after its founding, expanding to ever further locations and eventually diversifying into general advertisement and the publishing of short stories and interviews, which at some point led to the creation of the HJT Gazette Monthly Digest magazine and the "Silfs of the Sea" magazine much later.  

Special Publications

One of the most successful serials of the publishing house has been their "Travelers Guide to Aqualon", written by star columnist and philanthropist Thadeus Fletcher in the late 16th century GE.
