Book Description

He ceased to speak and commenced to regard me more attentively than ever, as though to observe the effect of his words on me. I could not refrain from starting when I heard him utter the name of Clarimonde, and this news of her death, in addition to the pain it caused me by reason of its coincidence with the nocturnal scenes I had witnessed, filled me with an agony and terror which my face betrayed.

Book Description

Great Danger Wrought in Secrecy

Legendary forgemasters now serve an evil warlord and his dark purpose. Their hammers ring upon anvils dedicated to remaking a terrible weapon that was destroyed in ages long past. As the very fate of the world is being shaped, only the strongest heroes can shatter the diabolical plan.

Lord of the Iron Fortress is a stand-alone adventure for the Dungeons & Dragons game. Designed to challenge 15th-level D&D heroes, it opens the perilous gateway to planar travel.

To use this accessory, a Dungeon Master also needs the Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, and the Monster Manual.

Lord of the Iron Fortress is the seventh adventure in a series of eight designed to take players from the beginner to advanced levels of play (although no other adventures need be played to play this one). Lord of the Iron Fortress contains an additional 16 pages of content for the same price as earlier adventures.

AN OK MID TO HIGH LEVEL ADVENTURE.......2005-05-25

Lord of the Iron Fortress is a 48 page, soft cover adventure booklet from Wizards of the Coast. It's geared for 15th level or so characters. The very thin plot centers on some forgemasters who have died and they are unable to be risen from the dead. Now why the characters would be concerned about smiths, and why they'd be deserving of being brought back to life is beyond me. But hey...if that's what it takes to get adventuring then so be it. The book uses four different chracters as samples that can be played if you don't have characters of 15th level. Never in over 25 years of playing has anyone ever used the stock characters...what's the point? They are good to use for the DM to see how the actual PC's compare and then tailor the difficulty of the adveture accordingly.

This is a plane-hopping adventure so be prepared to visit the first level of Archeron where the party will travel to the Iron Fortress. If you're not all into plane-hopping, I supposed you could just as easily set this somewhere on your own world whether it's the Forgotten Realms or one of your own creation. At the fortress it becomes a decent, but relatively standard dungeon-crawl from there. There's a couple of new monsters and magic items as well as one new spell. The art is very good as our the maps. Not the most original adventure in the world but a fairly decent way to waste a couple of nights playing.

Nice concept; so-so execution.......2002-02-16

I'll try to summarize:

1) the adventure idea is excellent, full of nice ideas.

2) the opponents are nicely conceived and well built using the 3rd edition rules

3) the maps are small and hard to use, and the staircases connecting the various levels of the fortress don't match.

4) the 'petitioner' forgers lack dramatic flair and interest

5) the fortress seems too mundane, given the fantastic nature of the idea.

Recommended as a source of ideas: I'd keep the concept, the characters, and design my own fortress and petitioner resolution.

Regards,

Book Description

Concluding the acclaimed High Fantasy saga that she began with Fortress in the Eye of Time, C.J. Cherryh resolves the destinies of two friends, sovereign and sorcerer, as they scale new heights of intrigue and adventure to save their world.

Tristen is a weapon in an ancient war of magic. A summoning and a shaping, brought to life by the wizard Mauryl, Tristen has just seen his first winter, though he has the shape and the memory of a young man.

Tristen's Sword is a weapon as well. Its keen blade, marked Illusion on one side and Truth on the other helped the young king Cefwyn secure the throne of Ylesuin. Now Tristen must again take up the sword, and the Sihhe magic he has forsworn. For he is Destiny's own, created a combatant in a far older and more fearsome conflict than any ever imagined by mere mortal man.

Following her acclaimed Fortress in the Eye of Time, Fortress of Eagles and Fortress of Owls, C.J. Cherryh's newest High Fantasy triumph concludes her soaring tale of the primordial struggle between darkness and light. Set in a world as rich with wonder, as plagued by violence, and for those with eyes to see, far more real than our own, these novels are an unforgettable experience.

Download Description

The walls between the worlds are down. A new unfolding has begun...

It started long ago, as a war between the shadowy Immortals that persists today, as the wizard Mauryl's Shaping confronts the Shadows summoned from Chaos. Tristen is that Shaping. Both more and less than human, he successfully fought sorcery's evil tides, a victory that brought his friend Cefwyn both a kingdom and true love.

But the Lines that hold the world in place are shifting again. A ruthless enemy is preparing for battle. Once again, Tristen will take up the sword inscribed with "Truth" and "Illusion" on its blade. But he faces more than war and a pretender to Cefwyn's throne. The Shadows he sees are straight from Ruin -- a flow of darkness covering the world like ink...

Fortress of Dragons completes the high-fantasy epic begun in Fortress in the Eye of Time and continued in Fortress of Eagles and Fortress of Owls --a powerful tale set in a world of magic, violence, wonder and awe -- a world as vividly real as our own.

The High King Is Revealed.......2007-05-21

Fortress of Dragons (2000) is the fourth fantasy novel of the Fortress series, following Fortress of Owls. In the previous volume, the Southron lords and troops converged on Henas'amef at Midwinter. Tristen hosted the Southron lords and sent hot food to their troops encamped in the meadows. As they celebrated, Auld Syes came avisiting to Tristen's Hall.

Later, he sensed someone out in the cold and rode out on Petelly to discover the Aswydd twins huddled in the snow on the way to Henas'amef. Tarien was very pregnant. Tristen put Tarien on his horse and Orien told him their story as they led Petelly towards town. Raiders had burned the nunnery, but the twins had escaped. When their horse ran away, they had continued onwards back to their home.

In Geulemara, the wedding of Luriel and Rusyn was underway, but then someone murdered the Patriarch. The assassin had decorated the corpse with Bryaltic amulets, obviously to divert suspicions to foreigners. In the ensuing riots, Ninevrise's Bryaltine priest was lynched and his shrine was burned.

In this novel, in Amafel, Tristen takes Orien and Tarien Aswydd back to Henas'amef. Once they reach the Zeide, Orien insists that they occupy their former rooms, but Tristen doesn't want these sorceresses to have such access. Besides, he is presently living in these quarters. Instead, he sends them to Cefwyn's old rooms and then asks Cook to attend Tarien, for she has much more experience with pregnancies than himself. He also seeks advice from Master Emuin and, for a change, receives some pertinent comments.

Uwen estimates that Tarien is about seven or eight months into the pregnancy and Cook agrees with that opinion. Orien says that Tarien is carrying Cefwyn's illegitimate son. Tristen also learns that the child is male and a wizard. Sedlyn -- Paisi's Gran -- is assigned the task of attending Tarien as the midwife.

Tristen calls the Southron Lords and all available Amefin nobles into council. He announces the arrival of the Aswydd twins and recounts their tale of the burning of the Anwyfar shrine. The Amefin lords are not too surprised at the involvement of Captain Essan. After much discussion, Tristen orders his gathered forces to cross the river and camp in Elwynor.

Emuin writes a report on these changed circumstances and Tristen adds his own notes to Cefwyn and Ninevrise. The note to Cefwyn is just a letter, but the note to Ninevrise can be read only by someone with the Gift. Indeed, Tristen can update this information as needed.

Crissand is beginning to respond to magic and wizardry. First he is driven to leave the Zeide without his guards and without Tristen's permission -- although not without his knowledge -- and then he loses himself in the snow. After an encounter with Elwynim rebels, Crissand returns to the Zeide only slightly wounded, but quite confused. Later, he hears voices near the old mews and discovers a way through the gray space to Ilefinian.

Tristen informs him of the influence of magical patterns and currents upon those with the Gift and warns him to beware external forces. Not that his advice ever had much influence on Crissand's actions when it came to protecting Tristen. Indeed, Crissand has much the same relationship to Tristen as Tristen does to Cefwyn; they both act in the same protective manner toward their lord and friend.

In Guelessar, after a very short mourning period for the previous Patriarch, the new Patriarch marries Luriel of Murandys to Rusyn of Panys. This time, the free ale is not quite as strong and certainly not as plentiful. The ceremony is completed without flaw and the newly married couple follow the King and Royal Consort out of the Quinaltine. Unfortunately, Lord Ryssand rides into the square just as the newlyweds exit the shrine.

In this story, Cefwyn frustrates Ryssand's attempt to disrupt the war effort by calling for an immediate movement of his barons to the river. Shortly thereafter, he receives the letters from Emuin and Tristen about his forthcoming paternity. Then Ninevrise tells him that she too is pregnant with a boy. Cefwyn retires to the Guelesfort shrine for meditation and fasting and then immediately leads his troops toward the river.

These four volumes conclude this story arc. Tristen learns more about his enemies and so does Cefwyn. Ninevrise learns that she is not carrying the firstborn child of Cefwyn. Various enemies get their just deserts. And Tristen finally resolves his role as the High King, but not in the way that you probably expected.

More is to follow, maybe even another multivolume set. Fortress of Ice, however, takes place almost two decades later.

Although the author never says so, one wonders if the five Sihhe Lords have any relationship to the five unnamed gods of the Quinaltine religion. The Sihhe would have been regarded as godlike in the ancient days of the Guelenfolk. Moreover, the Sihhe and the Guelenfolk both came from the northern lands. We will probably never know the answer, but think of the shock such knowledge would give to the Quinaltine priests!

Highly recommended for Cherryh fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of high magic, methodical wizardry and brotherly love.

-Arthur W. Jordin

A Great Novel (But Not The Concluding Volume).......2005-10-17

The Fortress novels written by C.J. Cherryh are to be considered some of the finest reads in the fantasy genre. Quite honestly, I was tired of reading about magic this, curse that, balls of flame shooting out of oak staffs wielded by wizards/warlocks/sorcerors with foot long beards, talking dragons (though I make an exception to Tolkien's Smaug), etc. What I found most refreshing about the series was it's ability to slowly draw you into the world of Tristen, thought to be a ghost of one of the 5 Sihhe lords.

The conclusion of the book is vague, but that's because it is a lead in into the next book of the series, Fortress of Ice. Ms. Cherryh has just completed the book and is now undergoing final editing. Hopefully, that phase will be over soon, and we can all find out more about Hasfandyr, the Fortress of Ice!

p.s. Other GOOD fantasy books you should consider if you want fantasy with substance: G.R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, Robin Hobb's Farseer series, Janny Wurt's Cycle of Fire trilogy, C.S. Friedman's Coldfire trilogy. Just to name a few!

Inconclusive.......2005-07-08

Yeah so my dad got me the first book when I was like...15. I successively bought each book as it was printed, and loved them all. Despite the poor reviews I don't necessarily feel the last one was slow moving, at least not any more or any less than the first three. Cherryh's lyrical gift is rivalled in the fantasy realm only by Guy Gavriel Kay, who does a SLIGHTLY clearer job with creating "visible" imagery. The premise is great, the language is great, the dialogue and characters are great, each having unique personalities. I'm 23 now and I've read the series again and again, hoping to find something I missed. But unlike any other conclusion I have ever seen, it doesn't actually end anything, it's not even a cliff hanger. The details of dialogue and interaction seem to have dribbled off and failed at the final page, with a slight nod in the direction of an ending in a cryptic letter from Tristen to Cefwyn. Sadly, though the writing is mostly gorgeous, I can't recommend it to anyone. For analytical poetry I read Dylan Thomas or Edmund Spenser. Art, entertainment, whatever it may be, give me a solid ending.

Great Series ends too soon.......2004-05-25

This concludes the Fortress in The Eye of Time series (fortress of owls, fortress of eagles) but leaves you wanting more. I love the series. If you have ever played the epic Dungeons and Dragons you'll know that the begining adventures are the best, just scraping along to get that next meal or new armor; but as characters gain in rank they tend to get a bit boring as they get more and more powerful.
In this series the hero Tristan never loses that sense of newness. C.J. weaves a grand plot and makes the world and its betrayals and politics very believable and compelling. The series is one of the most re-readable; written with a fine touch for character developement. If they can do the Lord of the Rings series this is one that they should look at, it has all the fine hallmarks of an epic tale: heroism, love, magic, ghosts, religous turmoil and swordplay.
The series ends but could easily be revisted for serveral more volumes, (PLEASE CJ???).
CJ is a great writer and this is her best series. I strongly recommend it.

The vague conclusion to a vague series..........2004-04-22

This is obviously a series where Cherryh has lost her motivation to complete. There are a number of plots aluded to, but never completed in the series, and judging by Cherryh's web site she has no intention of completing.

All in all, unless political debating, vague magical moments, and unfinished endings are your cup of tea, this is not a series for you.

Do your heroes dare to enter Fortress Badabaskor? Deadly brigands, vicious cultists, and the dusty treasures of the Dragon Kings await those with muscle, wit, and luck. Defeat these challenges to uncover the dark secret of Badabaskor - a secret that will challenge even the most experienced of adventurers...

The robed bureaucrat looks up from the table and gazes on all of you before proceeding. "Ah, I see you decided to accept this mission. In your search for the bandit leader Cragen you need to be aware of a few things." Pointing to a mountain on the map, he says, "Here is a particularly nasty little cult worshipping some dead god." He pauses, then continues, "Angall is the god's name, I believe. Also be aware that we have reports that there is a raiding party of amazons. I believe their leader is looking for her mother who disappeared in the area twenty years ago."

The bureaucrat rolls up the map and hands it to you, then turns to open an old book. "I don't know if this is of any relevance, but it appears that there are ancient accounts of a Great Wyrm from the days of the First Men." Slamming the book shut he looks at all of you. "I would be careful in poking around in any caves or dungeons. You have your mission. Find Cragen and the reward is yours. That is all."

Interesting book drawing from an ancient legend.......2006-11-24

I just got done reading this book over the weekend. I had been looking for a nice Persian story book for my 4.5 year old daughter and came across this. Fortress of the Golden Dragon while a great story, is a bit too complex for a 4 year to fully understand. The story borrows heavily from the ancient Persian myth of Haftvad (please see: [...]. There are many additional elements however present in this story which make it unique and a great magical story. There are some good moral lessons there as well. Therefore, I will keep this book and read it to my daughter in a few years when she is a bit older.

Great Read!.......2005-05-09

This book is enchanting and delightful. It is a must read for older children and adults. I would not be surprised if it were on the big screen soon!

Every Mother's Hope.......2005-03-20

This book is a wonderful way of showing children and young adults, as well as grown ups, how they can strengthen and grow their inner good to overcome all dark and evil forces within them. Not only is a well described story, it is also very inspirational to all readers. Once you start this entertaining book you will never want to set it down.

The Divine Story.......2005-03-20

I found this book, written by Homa A. Garemani to be very intriguing and entertaining for all ages. This book is an ancient tale that makes you use your imagination. It gives enough imagery to give you the main picture and leaves out enough to make you use your imagination and create a world you see in your mind's eye. With its intricate use of love, hate, and magic this tale is a good read for everyone. There are many themes that can be derived from this book such as, love can overcome any obstacle and when you learn from your mistakes and keep a level head anything is possible. In this story many characters are actually symbols for bigger things, such as Peerbabu. He is the good inside of everyone that is always there. It comes when you need it and is the hope that drives out the evil. The evil in this story isn't really the "dragon" but instead it is Amaease, he represents the greed and power hungry people in the world. This book has a universal message, the beauty of it is in its simplicity. There are few books that are written for one culture, that can be related to everone which the whole world is able to understand, and this is one of them. The only other book I have read that was able to do this was The Illiad and the Odessy. I grew up living with books like Harry Potter and The Hobbit, but this is a book about my culture that is interesting and makes me feel even more proud about my heritage.

Fabulous!.......2005-03-07

Wonderful! It is a bit of "Lord of the Rings" meets "Cinderella" meets "The Celestine Prophesy". I highly recommend this book.
