Summary
Darius Khan, a diplomat with Harad’s embassy to Gondor, is at a loose end. When he has to go home for the wedding of one of his younger sisters in Northern Harad, he realises he’s just been drifting and everyone else has settled down or established careers. Will he be able to turn his life around? And will his father Vashir Emir ever be satisfied with him?
[This story is all part of my and my co-author’s desire to draw Harad in more detail. Northern Harad, we have decided, is very much inflected by Castamir’s Númenórean settlement, so they only have one spouse and their customs are closer to those of Gondor, but still quite distinct. Our idea is that post War of the Ring, Harad has gotten rid of Sauron worship entirely (with a vengeance) and gone instead to a mix of Emperor worship/pagan gods/vague agnosticism. So it has touches of all kinds of Empires: Roman, Ottoman, Moghul, Chinese. Southern and Central Harad are quite different, and Khand is totally different again.]
Oh - this will also be followed by Darius’s and Cyaxares’ adventures when setting up the Embassy in Rohan - because there’s nothing I love better than cultural misunderstandings…
