Tull: The Guardian
A guardian defends souls in a fragile peace threatened by unseen judicial assassinations.
The narrative examines the burden of protection when the protected become targets. Tull must navigate a political landscape where the very judges he is sworn to defend are being eliminated. The text draws on traditions of divine purpose and cosmic war, referencing the Accession of the First Creation and the warring of the firstkind. It does not rely on modern military tactics but rather on spiritual mandates and ancient pacts. The story is organized around Tull's internal conflict between his merciful nature and his defensive duties. Wray uses this framework to question the stability of a society built on mutual aid yet governed by those who may be compromised. The work suits readers interested in the ethical implications of guardianship and the cost of maintaining peace after catastrophic war.
The story sits within a fictional universe defined by the Accession of the First Creation and the subsequent Era of Despair. It reflects on the collapse of former institutions like the church and nations, focusing on the rebuilding efforts led by reformers alongside the firstkind. This setting provides a backdrop for exploring themes of mercy, justice, and the lingering effects of ancient cosmic conflicts on contemporary societal structures.
