Kalyr is set in my original fantasy world of Kalyr, and focuses on the struggle between the ancient and decadent kandar civilisation, and their rebellious human slaves. It features psionics, arcane technology, strange alien races, mystery and intrigue. Influences include Gene Wolfe & Jack Vance, but don't let that put you off!

Kalyr: 89 - The Crash Site

Dharak touches the cylindrical part, and the bodies, to see what his
psychic senses tell him. A very recent sensation of terror, probably
caused by the craft plunging towards the ground obliterates almost
everything else.  However, beneath it there's a vaguely alien,
twisting sensation, and a feeling of a vortex in space and time.
However, this sensation fades as soon as he tries to concentrate upon
it; the recent terror of the death-plunge drowns it out.

Then he also looks for any easily portable weapons, equipment, or
further proof of the identity of these adversaries.  He finds a couple
of hand weapons, smaller versions of the energy weapon captured from
the Quaan earlier. The control panel of the craft is labelled in two
languages, Konaic, and a language written in a script Dharak does not
recognise at all, and he recognises the scripts used in all common
Kandar, Human and Zughru languages.

Reylorna moves from piece to piece examining as best she can the
wreckage.  As she moves the intense look on her face shows a more
furrowed brow.  Finally standing near the crew section she offers
"well I had hoped to find something that was useful, but I am not an
expert in how to salvage anything.  Other than having a dead body I
don't think we have anything that we can really take with us."  

She shakes her head and defers to Duplar on the actual items that
might be salvageable, if any.

"Apart from the weapons Dharak has found, everything is too big and
too heavy to carry", Duplar replies, "I shall recommend a team be sent
out here upon our return, with recording equipment and pack animals". 

"I guess we have delayed long enough", says Reylorna, "It will take us
sometime to return with our current wounded.  So once we are sure we
have gotten what we can, I suggest we make what time we can.  Now, the
only thing we can do is carry our information back to our leaders".

"Aye", says the wounded Kylar, "We're wasting time.  There could be
others on our trail".
