Songs of the Firstborn
A quiet record-keeper finds an impossible tablet, a forgotten race wakes from stone, and seven companions cross a world built on buried truth.
Five books. One forgotten truth.
The Forgotten Word
The prophecy is found. No one can read it. The quest begins: find a Drevari.
The Stolen Light
The Drevari is found. The first half of the Vel-Kel is recovered from the Aldenmere Empire.
The Buried Truth
The second half of the Vel-Kel is recovered from Thurak’s deep ruins. The the road leads further than anyone expected.
The Long Road Home
The company crosses to the forgotten continent. The void is visible and accelerating.
The Song Beneath the Stone
The Vel-Kel is set into the recess. The world must remember — or be unmade.

Small people carrying enormous things.
The quest begins with curiosity: a tablet that should not exist, a language no one can read, and a word the world has almost forgotten.
It becomes something larger: a fight against erasure itself, answered not by power but by costly remembrance.
The Drevari were not lost.
They were waiting.
Living stone. Inherited memory. Kallite that responds when ancient truth is spoken. The Firstborn remember what the younger races buried.
From Valdenmoor to Vel Andurath.
The journey moves from the settled western continent through Thurak, across Solenthar, and finally toward the origin chamber where the world must remember itself.
