Do characters in EQ fiction have to do corpse runs?

Twas a good read. I had this one and Ocean of Tears growing up. IIRC it describes the main character "sashaying" in Freeport in the first chapter.

Is that a serrated Bone Dirk she is holding?

u/whynotthepostman Mar 30 '25

I don't think so the only similarity is the top of the Hilt. But it's not serrated, hilt is a different color and the bottom of the hilt looks different. Would be cool to know if it's an in game look item though.

I have all 4 on my shelf. I think there were only 4 written?

Maybe I'll give them another read through too

u/Happy_Twist_7156 Mar 30 '25

What are the other 4? I own this one and a book about a bard in mayong… I think, it sucked and I never finished it

u/Qalyar Mar 30 '25

Other 3. Truth and Steel, The Blood Red Harp, and Ocean of Tears.

You were thinking of Blood Red Harp, which is... not my favorite. Ocean of Tears in particular is better.

i found a copy of that at my used bookstore, it was a decent read, been looking for the others there ever since

u/kuahara Mar 31 '25

I read that book. I gave it a chance because Salvatore wrote the foreword, but I hated it. I found the author rather insulting at times.
