From the archives: The English Manor Part 1: The Land. Apparently the average manor contained one village and was separated from the next manor by a broad stretch of woods or wasteland. Sometimes two manors split the same village in two. buff.ly/3Dw5TSb

Phlegmatic 1. Not easily excited to action or display of emotion: apathetic. 2 Having or showing a slow and stolid temperament.
“Spock’s phlegmatic demeanour was necessary to balance out the outlandish persona of the perpetually xenolibinous Captain Kirk.”

Little people, ghostly guardians, and the mysterious power of artifacts. Fact or fiction? These fantasy stories blur the line between the two.

A smoky orange background shows a nightmarish battle scene with the silhouettes of warriors, some on horseback, wielding swords, bows, and axes. The text reads An epic voyage begins. After the defeat at Hastings, the failure of rebellions and the devastation of the North, England desperately needs a new hero. Will Siward of Gloucester be that man? Beside the text is historical fiction novel Rising from the Ruins. The cover features the nightmare battle scene with a long-haired man in a mail shirt and a blonde woman in a brown dress and hood. https://mybook.to/RisingfromtheRuins
