The Wayfarer Redemption: Difference between revisions

 

The Forbidden are really decent people, but one group of them, the Icarii, have wings, and the Avar have horns. They have magic music. And that glorious revolution was a Moral Event Horizon crossing for the Seneschal, who chopped down whole forests of habitats for the Avar and all 'round every human in those "glorious" wars of the axe were bastards.

Nowadays, Axis is slowly learning his secret past, plus the fact that he is actually {{spoiler|a "Forbidden" himself, which shakes his faith irreversibly.}} After assuming leadership of his new people, he has to fight his evil half-brother [[Jerkass Woobie|Borneheld]], and uncover mysteries such as about WolfStar, a heretic Icarii combo platter of the Magnificent Bastard, Complete Monster and Mad Scientist tropes. And, of course, deal with the Big Bad, another evil half-brother. This one is called Gorgrael, and he has an absolutely ''lovely'' prophecy to go with him.

 

 

The sequel series to ''The Wayfarer Redemption'' is ''[[The Darkglass Mountain Trilogy]]''.

* Jerkass: Axis has his moments, Borneheld is one of the biggest Jerkasses in the series, WolfStar takes the cake.

** Caelum gets pretty bad.

* [[Our Elves Are Different]]: The Icarii and Avar; the Icarii are impossibly beautiful mystical enchanters with angel wings and a penchant for incest, and the Avar are xenophobic forest-dwelling fair folk who hate violence but power their magic with blood sacrifice.

* [[Our Orcs Are Different]]: Skraelings.

* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: [[Manipulative Bastard|WolfStar]] to Gorgrael. And then {{spoiler| Noah}} to WolfStar.
