The Wordsmiths and The Warguild:Chronicles of an Age of Darkness:Volume 2
Author: Hugh Cook
 
'Thanks to the wizard of Drum,' said the Brother, 'we know where to find these boxes. The nearest is in the bottom of a green bottle in Prince Comedo's Castle Vaunting in Estar. A monster protects the bottle from those who would acquire it.'

Togura would not have chosen the profession of questing hero but in the end he had no choice. He was caught between The Wordsmiths and The Warguild, the two orginizations which vied for power within the dismal kingdom of Sung, a land famous simply for being so often and so richly insulted.
Besides, if he did not find the index, the key to the magical treasure chest known as the odex, he would never be able to claim his love from its mysterious depths.
