Excerpt from The Caverns of Crail: A Novel
To the astonishment of the whole world an unknown man had struck the responsive chord in the great mys tery among rulers, the Sapor, for a conclave was at once ordered to gather at the old capital city of Ecbatana to ratify such a pact. At this conclave, for the first time in the history of that country, the mysterious order of priests avowed itself the church, and the Priests of the Holy Crater and the Priests of Crail stood as one, and Deioces had to make permanent terms with the priests of Crail, whose mysterious caverns were in the mountain walls that surrounded his country, and for aught he knew, or ever did know, furnished a secret passageway into its very heart, the city of Baleria, over which they claimed certain vested rights that they would not surrender. Their claims were supported by the Holy Crater.

Excerpt from The Caverns of Crail: A Novel
Like an avalanche, the mysterious hordes had swept down from the steppes of central Asia and desolated Eran and Persis. The peoples of these and all the surrounding countries had fled in terror before the fanatical warriors of the Sapor, that unknown King of Kings and ruler over all the clans of Arya. The so-called Holy War had spent its fury, simply because there was nothing more upon which to vent its wrath.
Phraortes, king of Eran, had fled his beautiful city, Ecbatana, and was now a refugee, in hiding some where along the borders of the Persian gulf. His queen, and little Prince Cyaxares, two years old, had been sent to a small city, Baleria, which was ensconced in a queer little country at the mouth of the river Pol, he having placed them in the care of his captain of guards, Deioces. He knew not whether they were safe from danger or had perished; there fore, upon the first intimation of a lull in the terrible war, he attempted to return to Baleria.
