There are parts of the universe that are extremely hard to see, even for our most advanced telescopes. Gas and dust don't emit light and are visible only by the light they block from stars and galaxies. Magnetic fields are even harder to detect because ordinary light typically passes right through them. However, according to a new paper available on the arXiv preprint server by Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney and their co-authors, a potentially game-changing new tool being commissioned could use a particularly violent astronomical phenomenon to provide new insight into these hard-to-see places.
Everything that happens in The Blood of Dawnwalker is rooted in the vampiric takeover of Vale Sangora. During the peak of the Black Death plague, the evil Brencis murdered the valley’s human lord, Skender, and claimed the region for himself. To say he now rules with an iron fist would be putting it too bluntly – this bloodsucker is far more cunning than your regular warlord. Born to nobles during the Roman Empire’s glory years, he’s as cruel as he is dignified, and employs a carefully selected court to aid him in controlling the valley’s population. The people are his flock in both senses of the word; a religious congregation and a blood farm.
