Wulder is worshipped with songs of praise and thanksgiving while Paladin is highly respected and honored. They can also mindspeak with Paladin (a form of prayer).Īlthough God, Christ, and Christians have an allegorical representative in this story, there is not a representation of the Holy Spirit. Some people in Amara have special talents allowing them to mindspeak to each other. Because Paladin is associated with Wulder, the people that are the followers of Wulder submit themselves to Paladin as his servants (servants in this story represent Christians) and go on quests that Paladin sends them on. Paladin knows Wulder very well because he is associated with him, though this is a mystery to the people of Amara. However, this wasn't an attempt of the author to try to make readers believe that God and Christ don't have a father/son relationship. Paladin is a figure that lives among the people of Amara and he is regarded as the figure of Christ, although he and Wulder do not have the father/son relationship that Christ and God have in our world. Wulder is the name of the God of Amara, where the story takes place, and he represents the true Christian God. One character (named Dar) teases Kale over and over (for example, they are eating soup and Dar tells Kale that the soup is flatworm soup upon taking a spoonful, Kale discovers it is actually onion.).

Wizard Risto lies and uses deception to gain his purposes. But their journey is threatened when a key member of the party is captured, leaving the rest to attempt an impossible rescue, find aid, and recover the meech egg whose true value they have not begun to suspect. Along with her rescuers, Kale embarks on a mission to find the meech dragon egg stolen by the evil Wizard Risto. A small band of Paladin's servants rescue Kale from danger, but turn her away from her destination: the Hall, where she was to be trained.

Yet this young girl has a lot to learn about the difference between slavery and service. Once a slave, Kale is given the unexpected opportunity to become a servant to the great Paladin. Great read, full of Christian fantasy fun!
