The Tales of Ka-Ess
"None had been so handsome,
nor greater in prowess
nor ever had been better dressed
than the lizard Ka-Ess."
- — Ka-Ess, The Tales of Ka-Ess
Preface
The Tales of Ka-Ess,containing the complete works of Ka-Ess Lizardkin, remained unpublished until his unsettling demise. Criticized by poetic authorities as grandiloquent, longwinded, grandiose, and delusional, the author's excruciatingly detailed accounts of his own minutiae nevertheless afford historians insight into daily life in the Skaugan Main during the rule of the Council of High Captains.
This annotated and illustrated edition of the Tales represents the most comprehensive effort to date to create a complete history of Ka-Ess and his companions' lives and adventures from the material available in the original codex and other relevant sources.
