Christopher D. Schmitz

When a reluctant Dwarven adventurer undertakes a quest on behalf of his blind father, he accidentally awakens an ancient evil banished ages ago. Now, with dark elves and goblinoid trogs snapping at his heels, Hy’Targ must prevent a powerful lich from reuniting with the ancient bones of his lover. Failure means a new age of darkness will spread across the land.

Prince Hy’Targ of the Irontooth vagha would much rather stay in the library and read about the exploits of others. In his studies, however, he uncovers the tale of a powerful artifact he believes could restore his father’s sight. On his quest, he accidentally triggers a trap that releases an ancient undead general that was long ago sealed away to prevent him from beginning a planet-wide uprising of the dead. Hy’Targ knows that this fiend must be destroyed before he can regain his full strength, and he knows where the lich has escaped to.

Journeying towards the creature’s dark tower, he enlists the help of the few souls who believe him, one of whom is an imprisoned thief that must first be freed… a thief who is linked to their problems more closely than they realize. He stole the sacred bones the lich is after and undead scouts pursue his every move. Can this band of unlikely heroes prevent a second rise of the Black Tower?

The Esfah Sagas

Ashes of Ailushurai

A devious elder monster allies with the lava elves of the Obsidian Grotto. She promises to provide an elven general with arcane weapons to throw down their dwarven enemies, and also the support of a black magic wielding cult hidden within the Nhur-Gale Forest. General Shedakor assumes that any bargain with such a dark creature would extract a high cost... but can he afford to pay it?

Meanwhile, on the far side of Esfah. An elven hero from the northern coasts embarks on a mission to protect his home from the goblins of Brackishomme swamp. But Davian Whisperwynd is prone to rash vows and the gods will not release the adventurer from a promise to lay down his sword: an oath that complicates things when he promises a beautiful enchanter that he will retrieve an item from the lair of the Death god himself.

Neither knows it, but the gods of fate have interlinked their destinies.

Rise and Fall of the Obsidian Grotto

Dragons & Fire. Dwarves and Magic Axes... and a whole lot of goblins!

Hy’Targ the dwarf and his crew take up the mantle of the Gods’own: the chosen champions of the gods. When Hy’Targ, Varanthl, Mantieth, and Elorall set out to quest after a mysterious relic so that crazed Death cultists cannot retrieve it, the Gods’own finds themselves flung into a much larger adventure than they could have ever foreseen!

Hoping to find the stolen dragonkin belonging to the Adventurer King, Hy’Targ and the Gods’own split their attention and head through trog-infested lands en route to a human city where the dwarf prince’s adversarial uncle has traveled. There, they discover an ancient symbol leading to the gremmlobahnd: the mysterious gnomes who seemingly disappeared from Esfah long ago. And what the party discovers has everyone pursuing them.

More questions are asked than the Gods’own can seemingly answer. What is the Kreethaln's real purpose? Who is the Gray Wanderer? Where did Taryl’s nephew disappear to, and who is that red elf on the horizon?

But for Hy’Targ, something bothers him more than the wars erupting around his continent. More disturbing than the black dragon riders, crazed cultists, the new rising army of goblins, or even the evidence that Melkior is defeated but not permanently, is the revelation of his mother’s fate. Queen Sh’Ttil may be gone forever—but a member of his own party may have had something to do with it.
