Zuran is seldom referenced
in The Beast at the Gate, but expect
that to change in the upcoming sequels. Zuran is the last of the West Taren territories and home to that region’s governor.
Following its defeat in the War
of Kings, West Taren was no longer allowed to have a King and the
governorship was the highest political office a West Tarener could hold. Zuran became the new capital of West Taren
following the fall of Lamec, and its streets are filled with busy bureaucrats, minor politicians and the like. Depending on whom
you ask, the governor is either seen as a competent representative of the
people, or a worthless, fat figurehead and puppet of Nephredom—regent of East
Taren. Some say, if there ever will be a
rebellion against East Taren, it will start in Zuran.
R.A. Baker is author of "The Beast at the Gate", book 1 in the Rayna of Nightwind (Taren) series.
