From
time to time, assorted facts, acquired over a period of fifty years, will be
divulged regarding the mythical Floreskand, its denizens, flora and fauna.
Today,
we will briefly look at
The Overlord
As
outlined in ‘Song of the Overlord’, Daqsekor is the Overlord, the One, the High
God. The ruler of all, nothing and everything.
Daqsekor’s
symbol is the pure white sekor. The flower is indeed named after him.
The
name Daqsekor is a combination of ‘daq’ (yang) and ‘sek’ (yin) with the suffix
‘or’ meaning ‘lord’.
The
five-part ‘Song of the Overlord’ can be found in Wings of the Overlord, introducing each part of the saga.
Note:
Sekor
Type
of flower, with octagonal petals; regarded with religious significance, each
god being given a different coloured sekor as an emblem.
Blurb:
So
begins their great quest that tests the trio to the limit. Exciting obstacles
include raging torrents, snakes, feuding warrior hordes, lethal fireballs,
terrifying electric storms, treacherous mountains, avalanche, betrayal and
torture. The travellers start out barely able to tolerate each other but,
gradually, as their problems are overcome, they grow closer. The strength of
comradeship is evoked and also selfless sacrifice. Their story is rich in
history and threatening events that beset them on their quest.
