2. THE WORDSMITHS
AND THE WARGUILD
Out of print, but the text is available from Hugh Cook's website

‘Thanks to the wizard of Drum,’ said the Brother, ‘we know where to find these boxes. The nearest is in the bottom of a green bottle in Prince Comedo’s Castle Vaunting in Estar. A monster protects the bottle from those who would acquire it.’
‘Charming,’ murmured Togura.
Togura would not have chosen the profession of questing hero but in the end he had no choice. He was caught between The Wordsmiths and The Warguild, the two organizations which vied for power within the dismal kingdom of Sung, a land famous simply for being so often and so richly insulted. Besides if he did not find the index, the key to the magical treasure chest know as the odex, he would never be able to claim his love from its mysterious depths.
