Stanza One: The Storm of Hammers

by Timothy Morris

The legend of the Stormhammer is one of Vosteros' oldest tales. It goes back to before the first Cataclysm and stretches past the Collision of Worlds. It is a legend that started a long time ago amongst the Subarii; Vosteros' most proud clan of warriors. As time passed, the legend, as most legends do, slipped into fable and folklore, a quaint story told to children to keep them on the right path. It isn't until after the Collision that all of Vosteros is reminded that all legends originate in truth. The Ballad of Bayan Stormhammer is the story of the legend's focal piece, the one who would grow to simply be known as "The Stormhammer." A child born in war with a mission of enforcing peace.

About the author

Once upon a time there was this kid who moved a lot. Moving sucked. There was one constant in his life, however, and that was that no matter where his family moved or how often, he could always have a pen and a paper. Thus began the writing journey of Timothy Morris.

After a trial run working for a publisher, Morris decided that wasn't quite the route he wanted to go and dabbled in freelance and ghost writing for a bit. Then he decided that since he knew the stories he wanted to write, how to write them and since every publisher he'd spoken with was going to make him solely responsible for the marketing costs anyway, he'd just do it himself. Thus began the company known as TNM Publishing, LLC (No, TNM does not stand for Timothy Morris' initials, his middle name is Wayne).

"The New Magrathea" was planned to be something new, something fresh; a place that produced worlds of fiction, not just books. It was a grand quest and it continues today.
