The Eastern World — Sebastien Leonard

'A Draemorian Chronicle: The Eastern World' is the second of a five-book anthology. The novel is written in an abstract format; a series of historical narratives that are preceded and woven together by journal entries written by the primary narrator, then ended in a novella which continues the present day events. The second novel introduces its narrator, Sorrownote, who then travels the land and meets representatives of nations within the Eastern World. The Eastern World is comprised of 4 major nations: The Bear Mines, Border City Thornhofn, The Wastelands and Mechanus. In this new novel, Sorrownote's position is established and we now follow along with his ongoing adventure. After the events of the first novel, Sorrownote and his friends are in a position to continue on their journey east in order to find the source of a poison. At this time, The Eastern World has been out of communication since the time of the first kings, approximately 180 years ago. They are ill prepared for the challenges that they undergo, but continue nonetheless with the weight of its importance. This novel reaches into a world of advanced technology, founded by a pandimensional artificial intelligence searching for its soul. In the process it has been aggressively expanding its industrial efforts and is prepared to tip the scales pivoting on the Femur Mountains.
