Lodestone Book 1: Of Flood & Wrath & Thorn

Lodestone Book 1: Of Flood & Wrath & Thorn

Six miners are sent on a program of indentured servitude for private company The Righteous Anglian Mining Company of Our Lady’s Hallowed Earth. Their task is to mine a particular kind of iron ore - Lodestone - which has the unique property of being able to absorb magical energy. They will work to pay off their debt to the company and earn their freedom, but must contend with the dangers, and wonders, that they encounter in these extraordinary mines. ​A crumbling, ruined chapel shall be their new base of operations in the vast caverns beneath the ground. There, they are greeted by someone who claims to be a Company veteran who has made the caverns their home. Foul, feral, and secretive; the miners will decide how much trust can they put in their new guide who tells them that he is officially dead, off the grid, and desires retribution on the Company that sent him there. The miners' time in the huge network of caves shall bring them to face otherworldly forces and malevolent entities. While not natural fighters, they must use all their resourcefulness to overcome the dilemmas that obstruct their work. All the while, they must deal with the supernatural residents of the caves; creatures from English folklore who were thought lost to the world. Their journey ahead is what they can learn and gain from each encounter, and how they can use this to escape the unending toil into which they have been trapped.

Tobit

Tobit

This book tells the story of Tobit son of Tobiel, son of Hananiel, son of Aduel, son of Gabael, son of Raphael of the descendants of Asiel, of the tribe of Naphtali, who in the days of King Shalmaneser of the Assyrians was taken into captivity from Thisbe, which is to the south of Kedesh Naphtali in Upper Galilee, above Asher towards the west, and north of Phogor. Tobit, a devout and wealthy Israelite living among the captives deported to Nineveh from the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722/721 B.C., suffers severe reverses and is finally blinded. Because of his misfortunes he begs the Lord to let him die. But recalling the large sum he had formerly deposited in far-off Media, he sends his son Tobiah there to bring back the money. In Media, at this same time, a young woman, Sarah, also prays for death, because she has lost seven husbands, each killed in turn on his wedding night by the demon Asmodeus. God hears the prayers of Tobit and Sarah and sends the angel Raphael in human form to aid them both. Raphael makes the trip to Media with Tobiah. When Tobiah is attacked by a large fish as he bathes in the Tigris River, Raphael orders him to seize it and to remove its gall, heart, and liver because they are useful for medicine. Later, at Raphael’s urging, Tobiah marries Sarah, and uses the fish’s heart and liver to drive Asmodeus from the bridal chamber. Returning to Nineveh with his wife and his father’s money, Tobiah rubs the fish’s gall into his father’s eyes and cures him. Finally, Raphael reveals his true identity and returns to heaven. Tobit then utters his beautiful hymn of praise. Before dying, Tobit tells his son to leave Nineveh because God will destroy that wicked city. After Tobiah buries his father and mother, he and his family depart for Media, where he later learns that the destruction of Nineveh has taken place.

The Gilgamesh flood story has some similarities to other flood stories. For example, like the Noah's Ark story, there is a chosen person (Utnapishtim in Gilgamesh and Noah in the Bible) who is warned by a divine being about the flood. They both build a large vessel to save themselves, their families, and animals. However, the cultural and religious contexts are different. In the Gilgamesh story, it is part of the Mesopotamian mythology, while the Noah's Ark is from the Judeo - Christian tradition.

The Old Testament flood story is unique in its religious context. It emphasizes God's judgment and mercy. In other flood myths, like the Gilgamesh epic, there are similarities such as a great flood sent by the gods. However, in the Old Testament, it's more about God's relationship with humanity. In other myths, the reasons for the flood may be more about the gods' quarrels or the overpopulation of humans. But in the Old Testament, it's the wickedness of man that leads to the flood.
