A Saga detailing the Plight and Journey of the Cursed Children. Ages have passed since the Demons of the Lower Realms were exiled from the Midworld. Within those hundreds of thousands of years, calamity upon calamity met the peoples of the world. Now they grow desolate. The powers that existed in those bygone ages now wane. The world seems to be moving to a lull. And distrust and madness consumes those in positions of power. During the twilight of the current age, a boy was born to a cursed couple. They offended a sage who had come to visit, and paid for their insolence. Their child was to be exiled. Yet the sage felt remorse, and offered to train and guide their yet unborn son. And so it happened that Tūmbṃār, the boy of the Hematite Mountains, became a disciple to one of the greatest sages. The twelve-year old would venture forth from his home, embarking on a journey that would change not only the fate of his world, but the ones of his dearest companions. Not least the mysterious maiden he found under a tree. Their lives would be intertwined, involving the Gods above and the Demons below. Together they would usher in the great saga of that age!

The story itself is written in a manner similar to the folktales of old, descriptive, and easy to understand.
