Blood of Tyrants

The eighth book of the *Temeraire* series, *Blood of Tyrants* is set after the events of Crucible of Gold. It sees Temeraire and Captain William Laurence visit Japan, Russia, and other locations throughout the world.

## Synopsis

Naomi Novik’s beloved Temeraire series, a brilliant combination of fantasy and history that reimagines the Napoleonic wars as fought with the aid of intelligent dragons, is a twenty-first-century classic. From the first volume, His Majesty’s Dragon,readers have been entranced by the globe-spanning adventures of the resolute Capt. William Laurence and his brave but impulsive dragon, Temeraire. Now, in Blood of Tyrants, the penultimate volume of the series, Novik is at the very height of her powers as she brings her story to its widest, most colorful canvas yet.

Shipwrecked and cast ashore in Japan with no memory of Temeraire or his own experiences as an English aviator, Laurence finds himself tangled in deadly political intrigues that threaten not only his own life but England’s already precarious position in the Far East. Age-old enmities and suspicions have turned the entire region into a powder keg ready to erupt at the slightest spark—a spark that Laurence and Temeraire may unwittingly provide, leaving Britain faced with new enemies just when they most desperately need allies instead.

For to the west, another, wider conflagration looms. Napoleon has turned on his former ally, the emperor Alexander of Russia, and is even now leading the largest army the world has ever seen to add that country to his list of conquests. It is there, outside the gates of Moscow, that a reunited Laurence and Temeraire—along with some unexpected allies and old friends—will face their ultimate challenge . . . and learn whether or not there are stronger ties than memory.

Lung Tien Ning

Lung Tien Ning is a cross between a Celestial and a Kazilik hatched during the events of League of Dragons.

## Appearance

Ning has a long, arrow-shaped head and a serpentine neck. Her scales are black with a heavy opalescence of red, green and blue, so strong along her extremities that they almost cast a reflection.
Murillio

**Murillio** was a courtier and one of the regulars at the Phoenix Inn in Darujhistan. He was a friend of Crokus, Rallick Nom, and Coll and was an associate of Kruppe. He was described as lanky, having a long, elegant frame. On his first appearance he was dressed in a bright-green, soft billowing shirt and fine tanned soft pantaloons. He was fastidious in his appearance. Murillio was an accomplished duelist, having studied under Carpala the famed instructor. He hated priests, thinking them "self-serving confidence artists...swindlers of the gullible."
Algaria

The **Kingdom of Algaria** was an Alorn nation located in the centre of the Western Continent. Algaria was characterised by its vast plains and lack of defined cities. The Vale of Aldur, the legendary retreat of the Disciples of Aldur, was officially located within the southern tip of its borders. Its people were known as the Algars or Algarians.

Algaria was named after its first ruler, Algar Fleet-foot. The Algars breeding programs produced horses of a significant size and cattle that are very large and moderately tractable. Algars were also nomads and only had two cities: Aldurford, a trading post located in the northwest of the country and the *de jure* capital of Algaria, and the Algarian Stronghold, an almost invincible fortress, which was the *de facto* capital, partialy designed as a decoy to attract Angarak armies away from the other Alorn nations and to come and fight the Algars instead.

In large-scale strategic battles with other armies, Algars fought as light cavalry armed with sabres and shortbows. They often fought using flanking or hit-and-run tactics, methods which worked especially well on the plains of Algaria.

Interestingly, Algarians sometimes became Sha-Dar (Clan Chief of the Horses) people with a telepathic bond with horses. There were very few Sha-Dar, only a couple every generation, and the discovery of one was cause for national celebration and instant nobility for the Sha-Dar in question.
Genidian Knight

**The Genidian Order** are protectors of far-off and mountainous Thalesia, their King is the boisterous two-fisted drinker, Wargun. Their Preceptor is Lord Komier. Sir Ulath is the paramount Knight of the Genidian Order, and in many ways, the ideal Genidian- strong, silent, massively muscled, and blonde-braided. Like all the members of his Order, Sir Ulath wears chain mail armor due to the number of rivers in Thalesia. A chain mail shirt can easily be shrugged off by its wearer, unlike plate mail. For formal occasions, Genidians wear green surcoats and their helmet is adorned with a pair of curved ogre horns. These incredibly hard horns have saved Ulath's life, deflecting a potentially killing axe blow during the Siege of Chyrellos. Genidians favor a heavy war axe as their preferred armament. The Genidians appeal to the Styric god, Hanka for their spells.

The Genidians seem to be the most independent and unscrupulous of all the orders. The Genidians apparently find themselves in the strangest situations, partially due to living in the natural territory of trolls and ogres. Ulath said that a Genidian once sent Komier a report written on human skin because there was not anything else to write on at the time (no further details were provided). Sir Ulath said that many of the Genidians are actually of common birth, but they get King Wargun roaring drunk before filing in new recruits so they can have titles bestowed upon them. The Genidian's independent streak has also extended to having a democratic process to select their preceptors--the other orders send a panel of names to the Hierocracy of the Church so that their new leader can be selected, but, as Ulath put it: *"We make it easier for them. We only send one name.*" The Genidians have an almost Pandion-like abruptness in dealing with problems, particularly when dealing with pompous official sorts. Ulath explained an instance where their former preceptor wanted the order to switch to plate mail, like the Pandions, Cyrinics, and Alciones. When the man would not listen to the reasons for the Genidians wearing chain mail (that it offers reasonable protection against any threats up there, and a knight can pull his chain shirt off should he fall into one of Thalesia's numerous rivers), a demonstration was arranged. A Genidian in chainmail was tossed into the harbor at Emsat, and managed to get out of the shirt and to the surface in under a minute. Then the Preceptor wanting the switch was tossed in, wearing plate mail. He never came back up. Ulath told his friends, "I guess he found something more interesting to do down there".

Regal Copper

## Characteristics

### Weight

Heavyweight; 20-30 tonnes on average, although small individuals can be as little as 10 tonnes and extremely large ones up to 50 tonnes.

### Abilities

Extremely large and powerful.

The Regal Copper is a British breed that, alongside the Longwing, are considered the central dragons within the British Aerial Corps.

They were bred from a combination of Bright Copper and Cauchador Real dragons. The pairing was originally suggested out of a misguided theory that dragon colours were connected to the elements and that since both dragon breeds were orange, they might make a good match. The breeding was an immense success for different reasons; the oversized air sacs of the Bright Coppers allowed the resulting hatchlings to reach sizes that were impossible before.
Demon Lord

**Demon Lords** are Disciples of the King of Hell, and as such are the most powerful demons alive. They are far beyond the powers of most or all mortal summoners to control, only submitting as part of a deal (usually having ulterior motives in the Demon Lord's favour). It is not even certain that they flee from the power of the Orb, as lesser demons do, though a Demon Lord is shown to be outmatched by the power of a god on one occasion.
Crucible of Gold

The seventh book of the *Temeraire* series, *Crucible of Gold* follows the events of Tongues of Serpents, seeing Temeraire and Captain William Laurence travel from Australia to the Incan Empire.

## Synopsis

Former Aerial Corps captain Will Laurence and his faithful dragon, Temeraire, have been put out to pasture in Australia—and it seems their part in the war has ended just when they are needed most. The French have invaded Spain, forged an alliance with Africa’s powerful Tswana empire, and brought revolution to Brazil. With Britain’s last desperate hope of defeating Napoleon in peril, the government that sidelined Laurence swiftly offers to reinstate him, convinced that he’s the best man to enter the fray and negotiate peace. So the pair embark for Brazil, only to meet with a string of unmitigated disasters that forces them to make an unexpected landing in the hostile territory of the Incan empire. With the success of the mission balanced on a razor’s edge, an old enemy appears and threatens to tip the scales toward ruin. Yet even in the midst of disaster, opportunity may lurk—for one bold enough to grasp it.

Throne of Jade

The second book of the *Temeraire* series, *Throne of Jade* picks up after the events of His Majesty's Dragon and takes place in Britain and China. It starts in November 1805 and carries into Summer 1806.

## Synopsis

When Britain intercepted a French ship and its precious cargo–an unhatched dragon’s egg–Capt. Will Laurence of HMS Reliant unexpectedly became master and commander of the noble dragon he named Temeraire. As new recruits in Britain’s Aerial Corps, man and dragon soon proved their mettle in daring combat against Bonaparte’s invading forces.

Now China has discovered that its rare gift, intended for Napoleon, has fallen into British hands–and an angry Chinese delegation vows to reclaim the remarkable beast. But Laurence refuses to cooperate. Facing the gallows for his defiance, Laurence has no choice but to accompany Temeraire back to the Far East–a long voyage fraught with peril, intrigue, and the untold terrors of the deep. Yet once the pair reaches the court of the Chinese emperor, even more shocking discoveries and darker dangers await.

Crokus Younghand

**Crokus Younghand** was a seventeen year old thief in Darujhistan and one of the regulars of the Phoenix Inn.

His parents died when he was only four years old, succumbing to the Winged Plague. Since then, he had been raised by his uncle Mammot. Crokus found the street's shadows more appealing than the books his Uncle worked on and he became an apprentice of Kruppe learning the art of thievery. Though Crokus did not give it any thought, his uncle's sardonic reserve for the pretence so rife on Majesty Hill, an attitude which had seeped into Crokus over the years, and youthful resentment towards authority provided the impulses for this career choice.

Crokus was described as having shoulder-length, black hair (also described as brown), regular features, and light blue eyes.

When out as a thief, Crokus dressed in soot-stained cloth which closely covered his body, including his face, only leaving space for his eyes. A black leather harness, criss-crossing his chest held the tools of his trade. In pockets and tight loops it contained coils of copper wire, iron files, three metal saws wrapped in oiled parchment, root gum, a lump of tallow, and a spool of fishing string. A thin-bladed dagger and a throwing knife were both sheathed under his left arm with pommels facing forward.

Some of his tools Crokus had acquired from his absent-minded uncle, Mammot, who dabbled in alchemy and was prone to misplace items such as magically hardened saws and other, to Crokus useful, tools.

The tips of his moccasins were soaked in pitch which gave him more grip when scaling up or down the side of buildings. To preserve the pitch, Crokus would not lower his full weight on his toes the rest of the time when crossing the roofs.

Crokus regarded Kruppe, Murillio, Rallick Nom and Coll as his best friends. He had no siblings or cousins.
Parnassian

Although primarily a British breed, trading of eggs between France and Britain in the past means that there are some Parnassians in France.

## Appearance

Parnassians are a Heavyweight breed - although some individuals may, rarely, fall on the large side of the Middleweight classification - described as having cream and black colouration. They are said to have strong paws and powerful claws.

As many butterflies in the *Parnassius* genus have black and white wings with red or gold markings, it is possible that the Parnassian dragon also shares these markings.
Yellow Reaper

Official art from His Majesty's Dragon

## Characteristics

### Weight

Middleweight - ranging from 12-15 tonnes on average, although in rarer cases 10-17 tonnes

### Colouration

Mottled yellow, sometimes with white tiger-striping along their sides and wings.

### Abilities

Described by Sir Edward Howe as 'generally hardy and not fastidious in their diet [and] untroubled by all but the worst extremes of heat or cold'.

### Temperament

Reapers have an even temperament, and are described as 'almost invariably good-humoured in character.'

By far the most common dragons in Britain, the Yellow Reapers - often simply called 'Reapers' - have contributed to almost every bloodline in Britain.
Gorim

**Gorim** is the name and title of the leader of the Ulgo people and the High Priest of UL, as well as the given name of the first of those leaders, ever since the first Gorim who convinced UL to accept the godless ones under his protection.

A new Gorim is chosen each generation, identified by blue eyes, as blue eyes is the mark of the new Gorim since Ulgos have dark eyes.

In *Magician's Gambit*, the present Gorim was over 300 years old, he was near the end of his time and wanted to find the next Gorim so that he could pass. He was a saintly, benevolent man with a lot of patience.

In *Magician's Gambit*, Gorim conflicts with Relg, the zealot. Relg preaches against the Gorim, creating distrust in the caves. UL himself descends to gently rebuke Relg. UL praises the work of the Gorim, shaming Relg for his arrogance.

When Belgarath and the traveling companions visited the caves on their quest for the Orb, the Gorim referred to Nedra as a "stuffy but serviceable God" in a conversation with Ce'Nedra.

When Ce'Nedra is left behind in the caves under the protection of UL, the Gorim forms a friendship with her.

Bhelliom

The magic stone **Bhelliom's** true history and character are largely unknown until the middle and end of *The Tamuli*. Bhelliom is a spirit that was "born" at the beginning of the universe. It traveled the universe, creating blue worlds. It is stated in *The Shining Ones* that it has made millions of worlds, and it thinks of each of them as its daughter. When it created the Earth, there was too much red dust (i.e. iron) in the mixture, which hurts Bhelliom, trapping it in the center of the Earth. Ghwerig, a deformed, outcast Troll, found Bhelliom as a solid sapphire gem and carved it into a beautiful rose. It is revealed by the Troll Gods that Ghwerig will need to make rings out of Bhelliom itself to have the ability to command its immense power. Adian, a Thalesian hero, ventured into Ghwerig's cave and stole Bhelliom. After he finished the rings, Aphrael cleverly stole them. It is unknown how long this took; however, Ghwerig himself says it took ten years to carve one petal. Bhelliom is passed down from Thalesian kings, and when King Sarak dies in a battle, Bhelliom is thrown into a lake, where it rests for half an eon. When Sparhawk and company come across it, is believed to be merely an extremely powerful artifact, nothing more. However, Bhelliom is shown to have a conciousness, even a personality and quirks. Bhelliom is revealed to be the creator of Sparhawk, who is really Anakha, the man whose destiny is not percieved by the gods. Bhelliom created Sparhawk to help free itself from the Earth. Even later in the Tamuli, it is revealed that Bhelliom does not just have power, but enough power to trap and kill gods, and that the rings are merely a show so that no one could know its true power. Sparhawk himself says that if all of the gods in all the worlds in the universe combined together, they still could not defeat Bhelliom.
Kingdom of Unta

The **Kingdom of Unta** was one of the more successful and expansionist Quon Talian city states prior to the rise of the Malazan Empire. Sometime before the rise of the Malazan Empire, but still within living memory, the kingdom had formed the despotic Untan Confederacy. The kingdom was a major military power and even annexed the Napan Isles, forcing many displaced refugees to seek refuge on Malaz Island. In turn, Unta was annexed by Kellanved after his rise to power in Malaz City.

At the time of Napan's annexation, the king of Unta hoped to use the isles as a staging area for the invasion of Kartool. He engaged in trading of prisoners with Mock, the pirate king of Malaz Island, who captured a ship of privateers harrowing the king's vessels.

The Iron Legion was an elite heavy infantry regiment, which had been annihilated during Kellanved’s invasion of the Kingdom of Unta.

The Untan Knights had been an elite cavalry regiment composed of the nobility of the Kingdom of Unta. In the battle that took place east of Jurda, the Untan Knights had run their burdened warhorses in useless feints and maneuvers until they were exhausted. Capitalizing on that, the Malazan Army under Dassem Ultor and Kellanved had shattered the Untan army, including the Knights.

The D'Avore family had once been a royal family under the governance of the Kingdom of Unta. Kenussen D'Avore rebelled against the Untans in 1060 BS but was defeated and subjugated in a battle where his troops were wiped out due to unfavorable tactical positioning.

After the subjugation of the Kingdom of Unta, Topper, a Claw, had decimated Unta's royal line. In his own words, he had killed the King, Queen, sons and daughters, as well as their cousins, second cousins, and third cousins, expunging all hopes for the Kingdom of Unta to continue.
Fleur-de-Nuit

The Fleur-de-Nuit are one of the most important breeds in the French l'Armee de l'Air, allowing them to do night bombings and operate in conditions that other dragons are blind in. Their eyes are usually incredibly sensitive to bursts of bright light, although the French have recently started breeding individuals with more resistance to it.
Kazilik

A heavyweight breed of fire-breathing dragon native to Turkey.

While most are under control of the Ottoman Empire, the British Aerial Corps managed to acquire an egg (Iskierka's) in 1806.

## Appearance

Recognizable from a distance thanks to their two, upward-facing horns and serpentine bodies studded with many thorn-like spikes.

They have scarlet hides, leopard-like markings of 'black-edged green', and long, black tongues, with purplish armour plates on their bellies. A faint noise described as a mix between a kettle and the purring of a cat emanates from their bodies, alongside a constant billowing of steam.

Kazilik hatchlings resemble their parents in most ways, although they do not develop the green and black leopard spots until later.

## Abilities

Kaziliks are famous for their ability to breathe fire. Even newborn hatchlings can breathe bursts of flame five-feet in length.

They dislike cold.

## Eggs

Kazilik eggs are dusty red with green speckles. When hatching, they become painfully hot to the touch and steam bursts out when it first cracks.
Mal Yaska

**Mal Yaska** (possibly derived from the Angarak word for "burning", see Cthrag Yaska) is a major city within the Mallorean Empire. It is the heart of the Church of the Mallorean Grolims, and the seat of power of Urvon, one of the Disciples of Torak.

Following the Cracking of the World during the War of the Gods, the Angarak people retreated from the Sea of the East deeper into the heart of the new continent of Mallorea. Torak, wounded and demoralized, withdrew to his newly-built city of Cthol Mishrak, sequestering himself, his Disciples and a fanatic group of followers along with the stolen Orb of Aldur. Governance of the Angarak race fell naturally into the hands of the military, the only functioning authority as the priesthood floundered in the wake of the devastating defeat.

By the time the Angarak priests recovered, military authority was firmly entrenched at Mal Zeth. Unable to reassert themselves or defeat the triumphant generals, the priesthood retreated to the tip of the Karandese Mountains and established the city of Mal Yaska, a separate centre of power in Mallorea.

After the theft of the Orb, Torak sent the Disciple Urvon to oversee his church's activities at Mal Yaska. There he would stay, protected from the wrath of Beldin by his own power and a bodyguard of Grolim sorcerers. Urvon nevertheless departed when, in the thrall of the Demon Lord Nahaz, he journeyed to Ashaba, leaving the holy city of the Mallorean Grolims in the hands of his Chandim and Temple Guardsmen.
Sin

Evil in nature

Humanoid with white skin and a hole in their chest in the shape of an upside down heart. Lesser versions are with fractured minds: they consume to become whole. Normally lone creatures. finding a group of them means a nest is nearby: a Nest is where a greater sin offer lessers to merge with it in exchange for souls, creating the final stage known as a Seraph.

Tamed Sin are commonly seen in Aether. these types have black markings and are technically in a nest network with the leader of Aether, Saytin, but she instead allows them to keep their sentience and requires them to follow a set of rules. Most Sin born in Aether are automatically under her control.

**Known Sin**

* Grey
* Joseph
Locations

The year is 2XXX but for citizens of Aether it is the year 132 SR (Saytin's Rule).

set in a post apocalyptic future where one of the battles of *Reapers vs Demons* ended up taking place in the US 131 years ago. This lead to Angels descending to Earth explaining what was going on, who they were, and what they were to each and every town, city, country, and continent. Naturally those who were highly religious did not take a liking to this news. Quite a few religions and religious countries crumbled; the surviving ones treated the event as a hoax, but the events taking place afterwards were more difficult to cover up. Since then, Undead began to settle on Earth undisguised living in areas where they are considered citizens.

## Early history

The US was in great disarray at the end of the battle leading to new presidential elections. The winner was never decided as a woman by the name of Saytin appeared, killed the candidates, and sent her army of Sin to control the remaining population. After some adjustments, she declared the US to be called Aether from now on and part of Green's faction. Other factions are welcome so long as they show no aggression towards her or army and checked in every time they entered or exited the country.

## Advancements

Saytin is seemingly an advocate for more greenery. A majority of the countries national parks have doubled in size and farms have been converted into vertical farms. Through the aid of magic synthetic meat was produced in an affordable price turning genuine meat into a luxury food. Current cars and factories lack harmful emissions too.

The entire police and military force is made of Undead which do not require food or weapons, so the rest of the military budget is used to pay for education and research.

People with "harmful traits" are not allowed in Aether. The most dangerous being Sociopaths and Psychopaths: both of which will be killed and turned into Sin on site (if they're caught).

Vici

Set in ancient Rome, *Vici* is a short story about the taming of the first dragon and occurs hundreds of years before His Majesty's Dragon. While first published in *The Dragon Book: Magical Tales by the Masters of Modern Fantasy,* it was published again in December 2011 by Fantasy Magazine and can be read for free on their website.

## Excerpt

*“Well, Antonius,” the magistrate said, “you are without question a licentious and disreputable young man. You have disgraced a noble patrician name and sullied your character in the lowest of pursuits, and we have received testimony that you are not only a drunkard and a gambler—but an outright murderer as well.”*

With an opening like that, the old vulture was sending him to the block for sure. Antony shrugged, philosophically; he’d known it was unlikely his family could have scraped together enough of a bribe to get him let go. Claudius’s family was a damn sight richer than his; and in any case he could hardly imagine his stepfather going to the trouble.

Murillio thought that everything about Rallick marked him a killer and that even his wardrobe had all the warmth and vitality of an executioner's uniform. He also described Rallick as having a rigidly geometric brain and on the whole, lacking subtlety.

## History

When reapers and demons battled in the US, she was only fourteen. She strongly disagreed with the new presidential candidates and didn't want their plans to become reality. She turned to witch magic and made a prayer to the devil.

The devil immediately became interested as she was the first to pray to him that hadn't inherited his gift. A deal was offered: he'd give her the power needed to take control of the country, but she'd have to run it as he desired. After he explained his plans, she accepted thus creating the dictator known in the present.

Harpers

The **Harpers**, or **Those Who Harp**, were a semi-secret organization dedicated to promoting good, preserving history (including art and music of old), and maintaining a balance between civilization and nature by keeping kingdoms small and the destruction of animal and plant life to a minimum. They considered the elven empire of Myth Drannor shortly before its fall to be the pinnacle of civilized history and strove to recreate the world in that image.

Those Who Harp have disbanded several times, but after each time they eventually reformed one way or another.

The idea behind the Harpers was first conceived by several Myth Drannan elven military leaders in collusion with a few trusted human rangers and druids. The mage Dathlue Mistwinter agreed to lead such a group in the Year of Freedom's Friends, 324 DR at the head of a council that also included a (relatively) young Elminster Aumar. They took for their symbol Mistwinter's family crest—a silver harp between the horns of a crescent moon—and met at twilight at secret locations in the Elven Court, earning them their moniker: the **Harpers at Twilight**.

However, the Harpers at Twilight dwindled in number over the next four centuries, victims of attrition at the hands of their enemies: bandits, slavers, drow, illithids, orcs, and evil spellcasters attracted to Myth Drannor's success. The Weeping War decimated the remaining members of the group. By the end of the conflict, Dathlue was dead as were all but about a dozen of the Harpers at Twilight.

A City

Saint's shop where he sells candles and flowers... and old video games. He made the shop with the intention of sharing his love of the humble beginnings of video games only for his homemade candles to sell better, so he threw flowers in the mix too and re-branded the store (people order his games online, but they number in few).
