Annotations / Notes :
The story takes place in my own fantasy universe I'm creating. There are some more stories (still in development), but they are all in German, and I don't think I'll translate them, just because the translation was hard work for me. [;)]
There is one continent inhabited by humans, dwarves, elf-like creatures - well, on first look like any other fantasy world. The continent has the Grasslands in the middle, north-west Woodlands, north-east a huge mountain-range (almost circle-shaped), and in the south the Wastelands with the Desert in the south.
This story - The Adorant - takes place in the farmost rim located in the west of this continent.
On second look everything is a bit more different, because I weave into my stories my own imagination, which is often (in recent times) fuelled by spirituality.
I don't know why it is so much fun to me writing about gods, but that's what I do. As you have seen, these gods are on one hand very "human-like" , and on the other hand they aren't. That's just the way it is in my own fantasy world.
Just an annotation on the translation : I had really great problems finding the proper translation of the disired word "wahrhaftig". I chose different words for that in the text, but I'm still somehow not satisfied. None of the words truly expresses what I wanted to express - at least I think so.
Alrik.
