Elfbane was the greatest of his race, Warder against the Elves who came with their lies swaddled in grace, Raider of Men in their slave dens, Driver of the Dwarfs back to their hoarding place, Shield of the Root of All Fens. On the first night of Spring, to the Holy Fen Elfbane brought her, to sire a son who would bear the might of his ax-wielding hand cou-pled with the scheming mind of men. The muddy minds of the race he was born to save would call him Haft. Haft is a high fantasy set in an authentic mytho-logical place, Middle Earth, where mortals suffer dooms between ice and sands, mountains and sea—Overworld and Underworld.
