This story is another offshoot of "The Angry Boy" and tells the tale of Ragnar, the stripling who killed Kensie Poldara's horse Blood. The story begins just before the battle at Rushton. It will deal with how Ragnar becomes a Valdemaran. Ragnar has a Glorious Destiny; the Glorious Funeral is optional ;) The Velgarth Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey.

I was trying to develop a 'backstory' for a minor character the story of Ragnar. The backstory grew too big to be fit into it without a long diversion from the main story. Accordingly, here it is as a story of its own. Hopefully, I can keep it to no more than a couple of chapters, but Katie might have her own tale in the future. The Valdemar Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey.

Heralds are not perfect human beings. They are people with flaws and failings like all of us. They have their gifts but they must also have courage and determination in order that their flaws may be turned to facets of what makes them Heralds. They may not do Great Things, but they may rise to greatness by what they do. As always, the Valdemar Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey.

A brief vignette about how part of Haven got its name. I have no present plans to continue this, but may return to it in the future. As always, the Velgarth Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey

This is the 'long version' of how Kensie Poldara acquired a war stallion from Kadhael Corbie in "The Angry Boy". I cut it because it went on too long for the purpose it served in that story. However, I thought some of you, especially those interested in horses, might enjoy it. As always, the Velgarth universe is the property of Mercedes Lackey.

A short story about a Choosing. Or two. It is inspired by the season. As always, the Velgarth Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey. This story is complete.

The Heralds of Valdemar have their gifts, but they also have families. As much as their gifts, the parents of Heralds have much to do with the character of the Chosen. Some are better at raising children than others. This story is now complete, although I may edit some errors before locking it. As always, the Velgarth Universe belongs to Mercedes Lackey.
