ONE LINER: A cripple protects his king in secret on a scrapping journey through wastelands in search of a missing army and the wealth of Dead Gods.

SYNOPSIS:

Deep in the dunes a crippled son has come on the advice of his renowned father to earn into the illustrious Hundreds of the Wasteland King, before being robbed by an unhappy misunderstanding. But where a door closes a literal window of opportunity opens, and he soon finds himself accompanying his master in search of a missing army.

 The young monarch, however, knows nothing of his presence or contributions. And for the sake of his pride he must never learn he has a secret protector—even when contending with the indomitable courage of harlots, laying claim to the wealth of Creatures of Calamity, or facing down the wrath of Dead Gods.   That is, unless the Greatest Standard Bearer to ever stand at the king's side chooses to come clean to uphold his promise at the cost of everything he has achieved in a world of scrap, fire, and iron.

Character Interview:

(Interviewer): Mr. Sangor, can you give us an account of what happened when you accompanied the King south in search of his missing army and vast unearthed treasure? Just what did you find in the hoard which was the cause of so much grief for the kingdom at large?

The Queen’s Own Attorney, speaking on Sangor’s behalf: As a loyal servant of His Majesty my client cannot divulge any information pertaining to the events in question without written approval from the Crown or the Caretaker of the Kingdom.

Sangor: Why don’t you ask the King?

(Interviewer): I did. He doesn’t even remember your name.

Sangor: It is as it should be then, and I’ve done a marvelous job.
