A compendium of short stories set in the fantasy world of Methanasia made popular in the Cable Hornman, Bard series. Various writers were challenged to develop a short story to fit in or around the town of Sandahl. This small mountain valley realm is at the crossroads of the continent, geographically astride the intersection of three of the major mountain ranges and politically in between three separate empires. Sandahl is the guardian of the pass to the lands in the north where all manner of evil dwell and the most popular trade center in the continent. Provided only the more significant details of the area, each author created a story to blend in with the varied and interesting populace of Sandahl. The stories range from typical accounts of fantasy, love and medieval combat to mind racking adventures that affect the very time and space continuum in their exotic land. Compiled by C. Lee Brown
