Hum, now aliased under the guise of Captain Freimann of the Crimson Snakes, has once more risen as leader of mercenaries in the world of Calemil, where the weather is locked to one's nation, the Gods demand true devotion for their miracles and mages can make the difference between holding out in a siege or being forced out in a matter of minutes. His greatest challenge has yet to come; for the battlefields he faces may require wits, or just patience, but the unending doubts and questions within his mind need to be put to a final rest...like the ghosts of a legendary treasure, and the ...

Not only are we "taxed" without "real" representation, we are "surveilled," and "monitored" without probable cause, in direct violation of the Bill of Rights. King George could only dream of possessing the power that our current leaders have over us today, all in the name of "patriotism," and the prevention of "terrorism."
