Five Tales from the Rusty Scabbard Ty Johnston

Publisher Marketing: The Rusty Scabbard tavern is known near and far across the continent of Ursia as a place for respite, as a safe locale where one can lay one's weary head, find a warm meal, or fill one's belly with drink. But The Rusty Scabbard also provides a little entertainment, such as stories from Midge Highwater, the chief of the city of Bond's storytellers' guild, stories such as the five below: Deep in the Land of the Ice and Snow A young barbarian named Belgad goes on a quest to have his future told, but does he really want to know what fate has in store for him? Road of the Sword In a moment everything changes, and young Lerebus Shieldbreaker must leave his past behind him to tread into his future. Six Swords, One Skeleton and a Sewer A discovery takes six city guards below the streets of Bond into a maze of madness and mirth. Blade and Flame No one escapes the Prisonlands, but some exiles are making the attempt. Border wardens Kuthius Tallerus, Darkbow, Fist, and others are on the trail of the potential escapees, but these prisoners are not operating without some hefty magical aid.
