This album is dedicated to my grandmother Linda, and to Ursula K. Le Guin



1 - Inalkil the Greenstone, in which the dragon Yevaud lives as a hermit on Sattins Island and hoards the great treasure of the pirate kings of Pendor

6 - Word and Sword, in which the war between Erreth-Akbe and Orm is reignited, and the battle is such that they both die, entangled and bloody on the beach of Selidor
