The Tides of Epic Conflict Saga

Books

Book One: Tides of Sicklemire
Book Two: Hopebane's Gambit
Intermission Between Book Two and Book Three: The Winds of the Ultracraggoths
Book Three: Return to the Epic Sicklemire Dilemma

The Tides of Epic Conflict Saga was originally released as three separate shorter novels under the names Tides of Sicklemire, Hopebane's Gambit, and Return to the Epic Sicklemire Dilemma. Eventually they, along with a seemingly unrelated short story entitled The Winds of the Ultracraggoths, were released as a single 1184 page masterpiece under the name The Tides of Epic Conflict Saga.

Criminally underappreciated, the ToECS enjoys only limited popularity among the greater ELotH fanbase, though it does have a committed group of fans who claim it's 'just as good' as Mr. Brahe's Epic work. Interestingly, it received largely better reviews than ELotH:TES did, though this is largely attributed to annoyance among the greater critical body of Mr. Brahe's supposedly-undeserved success. Although many see it as another cheap attempt to cash in on ELotH, most see it as a welcomed, but slightly inferior addition to the ELotH canon.

The saga takes place entirely within The Sickle, during the years between 11,384 and 11,396, chronicling the period of Eldritch Treachery and Epic Intrigue that took place in the events leading up to Hopebane's Bane and the Pax Hyacinth with the restoration of the Throne of Cream.

Elemenstation on The Sickle

The Sundered Era saw a rise of the codified common use of common low Elemenstation on The Sickle. Perhaps this was influenced in some in perceptable way by the distant activities of Harbinger Portent on The Shield. Elemenstors from this period were relatively powerful compared to any Low Elemenstors from a previous or later era, although not as powerful as the later High Elemenstors who had access to the teachings and discoveries made from the great Unsunderers study of the Starborn Gem. They did however discover, perhaps independantly of any other group, the art of Transchanting, and so Furniliars were not uncommon in this era. After the Unsundering there remained little trace of this Elemenstor culture. It is possible that these arts were largely lost in the long Pax Hyacinth.
