Book excerpt: In another mind, in another place, and elsewhere in time, there is the world of Terra Moss. It is inhabited by tellurians, the cat-eyed kindred, who are divided into many kindreds (races) of which the predominate are the Kedi, the qitt, the Koboldlyn, along with other minor kindreds. A world of beauty, seid (magic), numerous gods, and thousands of years of history. An era had ended; a once-proud though arrogant kindred, the Twiniarians, the white-eyed kindred (the Hvitragua), had fallen; the victors showed little to no mercy. Their cities, great and small, were plundered and razed; the inhabitants fled, tossed to the winds to be either slaughtered or enslaved. This is the tale of one of the fallen, a white-eyed miris (male) named Burrwood--the Scrolls of Burrwood Aen'Nith, Amanuensis; Book 1, Terra Moss.
