A fictitious epic tale of valour told in poetry whilst maintaining every element of story-telling.

In a distant past, somewhere on some fictitious isles on the coasts of Africa, four kings ruled over the four isles that make up a realm.

Each king ruled supreme in turn for ten seasons, according to the terms of the oath as sworn by their forefathers. But things were to change, and that which men once held sacred was to be shunned as ambitions seethed and suspicions became subjects of whispered conversations.
