A Philosophic Fantasy in Three Parts: Intervention, in which Sakzel, a priestess and maker of magical items, finds a stranger unconscious on her property. Noting that he seems impoverished and ill she takes him in, helps him to heal, and strives to inspire him to improve his life; Or'Manang's Gift, in which Wanata, a hunter from a desolate land, seeks out Or'Manang, the god of his people, so as to ask him why he has let their world become so bleak & barren; and Windsong, in which Kalisiim, a lonely warrior girl, unknowingly invokes the long ago promised return of Lathawar, an ancient deity of a long forgotten people.
