Games/FUDGE Role Playing System, and for Annales Nuptiarum Kelsoni
Regis. We’re pleased to welcome back the wonderful artwork of Kathi
Spivey and Melissa Houle in this issue, as well.
“The Oak and the Swan: A Caeriessan Epithalamion” – lyrical poetry
about the great love between the two children of the founders of “Lost
Caeriesse” by Beverly Allen.
“Return Journey” by Susan Werner sends two old men, who were young
at the time of the sacking of St. Neot’s, back to the place of their
many memories.
“Deryni Night Before Christmas” by Mary Alice Kropp is an excellent
Deryni take on Clement Clark Moore’s classic Christmas poem.
“Hay is for Horses” by Katy Colby tells the story of one Mearan
widow’s reaction to her husband’s death at the hands of Donal Haldane.
How she protects her children from the King’s directives makes a
gripping story!
“Conversion of Life” by Samuel Wise is a story in two parts. In ‘A
Soldier’s Curse,’ two young men – little more than boys – meet on the
Mearan battlefield; one must consign the other to prison. When he is
much older, he seeks forgiveness from the other, who is now a priest.
In part two, ‘The Price of Faith,’ an old priest who is responsible for
the test of merasha at priestly ordinations must decide whether or not
to help Denis Arilan pass the ordeal. His actions are tempered by the
earlier part of the story.
“Balachan Math” by Sharon Henderson is a sweet and wonderful story
of Duncan McLain, at four years old, already impressing visiting
prelates. It’s also the story of his mother’s care and concern for her
Deryni son.
“Second Encounter” by Mary Alice Kropp gives us another look at the
mermaid. This time, Alaric Morgan gets to meet her and receives a
warning of piracy!
“Heart of a Healer” by C.H. Specht gives us the story of Analia,
who is good with animals and who comes to the attention of the Deryni
Duke of Corwyn as a potential Healer.
