Young Thongor. Lin Carter
striding with long steps towards the place where the great range of purple mountains marched across the world from west to east.
His heart lifted within him, for the night was over. And as he strode from view, he lifted his voice and sang again that warriors’ song…
Out there, beyond the setting sun,
Are kingdoms waiting to be won!
And crowns, and women, gold and wine—
Courage! And hold the battleline!
INTRO TO THE CITY IN THE JEWEL
For over two years, the youthful Thongor wanders the vastness of the Lemurian Northlands. Here the tribesmen are clannish, suspicious of strangers and a swift death is promised to anyone straying into their jealously protected domains. Thongor lives on his wits, often forced into using his fighting skills to survive, developing them, hardening himself until he has become a dangerous, fierce warrior, lion-like and elusive.
Not yet seventeen, he moves ever southward, away from the lands of his birth, into the huge range of the Mountains of Mommur.
