A tale of Aihrde.

Through treachery and guile Coburg Blackheart the Undying, rose to the feet of the throne of the Horned God. With a vision narrowed by spite and envy, he was evil born of the womb. But he ruled over many men and made them his slaves, all in the shadow of the memory of the Horned God. But few could know that he bore a great love for a woman, herself a singularly evil creature.

"Coburg and the Water Lilly" relates the tale of Coburg's bondage to the Lady of Garun and how even gods blink in the shadow of beauty.
