High in the jagged Black Mountains lies Orlios a nation feared for its storm-born warriors, infamous pleasure caverns, and the most dangerous indulgences in the underworld. Its king, Orin, rules not with councils or crowns, but with storms, shadowleaf, and secrets.
Told partly in Orin’s own ruthless confessions, this is the story of a barbaric tribe who demanded women and legacy, and when denied, seized them by force. It is the tale of how Orin followed Sawdo of the Aduka Nation into the fall of Eugoldia not for glory, but for spoils. As the Golden Kingdom burned, fire and storm forged an alliance that remade the Republic in blood and excess.
In the aftermath, Orin builds his dominion: warriors who fight by day and revel by night, a city of obsidian carved into the mountains, and a court where every secret whispered in pleasure is a weapon kept for the future. Yet even as he indulges in wealth, women, and power, Orin begins to see the truth: Sawdo’s fire consumes everything it touches.
The Book of Orlios is a descent into a nation where strength is survival, pleasure is power, and loyalty is bought in blood. It is the storm-king’s confession — of excess, of betrayal, and of a dark legacy that will one day turn against even him.
