Kingdoms Of The Night (The Far Kingdoms) - Plot & Excerpts
Not only in memory of that distant day when Janos Greycloak and I came within sight of what we’d then called the Far Kingdoms but in the present as well. It always seemed the day was fair, the sea calm, the breezes blowing perfumed and gentle off the land. So it appeared this time, almost ten years since I’d last seen Vacaan. Our passage from Orissa had gone smoothly, the weather more like balmy summer than early spring and we encountered no storms that lasted for more than a day or so, enough to give our sailors a chance to make certain everything was as shipshape as Kele and the captains of the hoys wanted. Those captains, Berar and Towra, were natives of Redond and long-time servitors of the House of Antero. One thing that pleased and surprised us all was the lack of fitting-out-brawls, which happens all too often when strong-willed people sort out their differences at the beginning of a hard and dangerous voyage. We’d chosen well. Even though we sailed through seas that were hardly pacified we’d expected no problems from pirates and in fact encountered none.
