Deifol Hroth

I've just finished chapter 6 of The Archer From Kipleth. I'm hoping to finish the entire novel by Dec. 25th as a Christmas present for any readers.

Chapter 6 is mostly about the Dark Lord of All Evil Magic. what a title, eh?

Unlike Sauron or Valdemorte, Deifol Hroth is very active and involved with the characters in the story.

He is not content to sit in the background and move his pawns from the shadows.
In chapter 6 Lord Stavolebe, who you'll remember from the chapter Rogar Li in The Last Elf of Lanis, has come to The Lord of Lightning to report his espionage and also to learn the arcane arts. He gets a little more than he bargained for.

It was really quite fun to delve into the  psyche of evil. And not just evil for evil's sake, or evil to be a bad ass.

Deifol Hroth, although a nine hundred year old wizard, who looks like he's twenty five, is actually deeply possessed by the king of evil spirits, who the elves know as Jofod Kagir, who we essentially know in our age as Lucifer. He is a spirit from before the foundations of the Heavens. He is filled with envy and hatred for being excluded from the big moves at the start of the cosmos.

I think somebody who was consumed with something like that for as long as he has would be far, far past insane.

It was really, really fun and gratifying as a writer to try to coherently weave my way through those tangled paths. I almost came around to his way of thinking. KIDDING!

I can't wait for you to read it.

cheers,

Kurt
