Tharion Cycle: Companion Guide to The Hollow Vale, Act I: The Wyrdsong and the Forgotten Tongue

Songs, Speech, and the Wyrding Path

Step beyond the mists and into the myth.

This lyrical companion to The Hollow Vale gathers the lost fragments of Caelwyn's journey-ancient songs, wyrd-laden prophecies, and the first comprehensive lexicon of the Tharionese tongue. Blending myth, memory, and meaning, The Tharion Cycle offers readers a deeper path into the world of Tharion, where fading gods, broken legacies, and forgotten languages still whisper beneath the vale.

At its heart lies a dictionary of nearly 2,000 Tharionese entries (poems, magic, words and more), drawn from fragments of song, folk speech, and sacred rites. With etymological notes linking Latin, Brythonic, Welsh, and Old English roots, the lexicon brings the lost voice of Tharion back into the light.

Perfect for lovers of Tolkien, historical fantasy, and atmospheric lore, this volume weaves poetry with linguistic precision-inviting you to explore the forgotten words and songs that shaped a crumbling age.

Includes:

• The Song of the Wyrd (Fragmenta Caelwynae)
• A 1,280+ word Tharionese dictionary with etymological detail
• Cultural, mythic, and symbolic insights into the world of The Hollow Vale
• Hand-drawn poems and original artwork in the Tharionese language
• Chapter by chapter poems for Act I

Let the wyrd speak, and memory guide your step.
