Abstract
Honorbound is a fantasy story featuring dual protagonists. The first story follows half-orc Garth Hogan as he inadvertently awakens an ancient evil and draws the attention of dark forces while he learns to wield the mystical sword Honorbound. The second story follows Fera Nika, a dwarvish ambassador, as she investigates recent occultish murders and uncovers a conspiracy surrounding the aristocracy of the kingdom. This thesis consists of the beginning of these stories and introduces the further conflicts.
