Here is an excerpt from the book.
The Legend of
the Cobbogothians is really where Uncovering Cobbogoth begins. For as long as Norah
can remember, her Uncle Jack has been obsessed with the mythical people. He
became an archeologist and world famous Myth-chaser because of the Cobbogothian
legends he heard while visiting his Granddad Aegissida’s farm in Iceland.
The Legend of the Cobbogothians
Long
ago, at the beginning of time, a peculiar race ruled the earth. They found
favor in the eyes of the gods and received great gifts of knowledge and power
at their hands. These gifts made them elementalists—masters of earth, wind,
fire, water, metal, wood and space. The elementalists thenceforth became rulers
of the earth and sky.
With
this power came corruption, and the elementalists soon forgot their patron
gods. Instead, they turned to worshipping themselves and their own creations.
This angered the gods, and in their wrath, the vowed to bring an icy end to the
prideful race.
Rumors
of the looming destruction were heralded throughout the land, and a final
invitation was issued to the elementalists to renounce their fallen ways. Yet
only a few heard and heeded. Among them was a man named Cobbogoth. Being a wise
and humble servant of the gods, he believed the warnings and led all who would
listen deep into the bowels of the earth to wait out the approaching storm.
When
the day of destruction was come and the wrath of the gods rained down, the race
of elementalists was wiped away, and then came the dawning of a violent and
frigid ide age.
It
is said that Cobbogoth’s posterity still lives beneath our feet, waiting to
rise and rule the earth and sky once more.
