Tales of Speros 

Speros, a name that shall inspire many. It is a land faraway west, one of chimeras, basilisks, dragons and more. It is there the fair people of the Tarnyan Coast journeyed long ago, losing many, and it is there they find themselves now, having survived and founded many realms. In time, their history turned to myth and legend, and it is these very legends the many Tales of Speros retell. Knights, explorers, adventurers, all these and more take place in Speros.

Its grandest of tales is that of the Theodemarian Cycle, a collection of stories interwoven together to recount the rise of the Scarlet Knight and the High-King’s War. The tale begins with an untimely death, and its disastrous consequences. Brenna and Theodemar must leave the town their family has ruled for generations, and seek safety elsewhere. Together, through quests and tourneys, they forge the legend of the Scarlet Knight. With it, it is their hope that they may take their home back, yet history does not wait. As Theodemar promises his sister he’d come back, events take a turn. War brews. A curious yet crucial character lands on the beaches of Speros. Chalparic, High-King, has arrived, and with him a storm of schemes and battles. The Scarlet Knight must lead the realms against him whilst Brenna faces the devious Council of Karltown. In the midst of all this remains a single question, key to the conflict, how did their father die? Overall, the story proposes a hopeful and joyous tone full daring and sometimes tragic adventures across a sweeping fantasy world. Similar works include The Accursed Kings by Maurice Druon, The Kingsbridge Cycle of Ken Follet, and The Tales of Dunk and Egg by George R. R. Martin.

To those curious as to whom would dare spend time writing so much for little gain other than creative satisfaction, my name is Laszlo de Bellescize, a lover of history and enjoyer of fantasy, focused on the wanderings of the mind and the sound of the pen. This here universe I’ve created is already host to many tales, with many more on their way, and it is my hope you who read this can help in the publishing of these tales.
