Hello, I am the writer of the Hide Your Ears series, and I would wish to start a page for it.

Hide Your Ears

A modern fantasy war drama series created by Joel Jamieson.

Hide Your Ears takes place in the fictional setting of the 12 snow elf worlds. Having survived a great war, the snow elves had been hiding out among these worlds for countless worlds, enslaving other races for their whims. The fist book takes place when the barrier shrouding their worlds fails due to a rebellion. The snow elves then make moves to ensure their control across these worlds as the real enemy takes its time to find them.

The story centers around the protagonist Daimetus (to bear fear). Daimetus is of a species that looks like the snow elves, but was made a considerably long time ago to hunt them down. Though he had eventually allied himself with them, the snow elves decided with the barrier broken that he was too much of a risk, and decided that assassination was the best course of action. Surviving the attack, Daimetus washes up on a boat set on the first world Serpeth's Comet. There, Daimetus aids locals in the country of Ter against the oppression of the country of Viscopa, whose aim is to enslave the dragon folk population that had fled to Ter by use of advanced technology which Daimetus recognized as having a snow elf influence.

Influence

Hide Your Ears is heavily influenced by Cait scottish folk tales handed down from the author's great grandmother to which were passed down ever before. With the influence of sea based (kelpie), Scottish, celtic, british, scandinavian trade and the emergence of pagan view being pushed out by growing catholithism, such themes were developed to be handed down by this group of scots, further spread when they immigrated to Canada through trade routes.

Major characters.

Daimetus the Cursed:

Daimetus is physically similar to a snow elf. From his pale skin to his long white hair that touches the back of his knees, he is all but indistinguishable from one. It is the subtle difference in eye color that gives away his true nature. Violet in reference to fey magic born of reality gods and the old folk tale "The Changeling Baby." In the changeling baby, the fey, specifically the fairies, would give the elves whom they hated, a fake elf. This individual would then grow up and kill them.

Daimetus, being of a near snow elf race has all their benefits, but with many differences. Daimetus is considerably old. Unlike the long life spans of elves, Daimetus simply does not age, unaffected by the tides of time. Though still needing nutrition, he is mortal enough to be killed by a simple blade. His age and experience have allowed him to become a talented man. Daimetus's eyesight is on several other wavelengths than others, allowing him to see patterns moving across dimensional barriers to excel in magic.

Daimetus fights with the mythical blade known as Kesymine (elvish for "Redeemer"). His other signature weapon is his fluorite encrusted mithril dagger. Daimetus fights in a dance like pattern to gracefully sway and carve around his enemies. Like most elves, Daimetus can turn to a mist, traveling through barriers beyond our four dimensional view to reappear in a new location.

Unlike the snow elves, Daimetus tends to lack their almost robotic view on efficiency, believing in more emotional solutions. Though, his upbringing with them has left many cultural impacts on him.

Iroe the hammer:

A bold dragon folk, Iroe is a moral center of judgment. Pulling most of the weight of the fishing boat known as the Getros, Iroe is physically able. Two long wings spread forth from his body of brass scales. Iroe was once a simple smith in his village until he was captured by the territory of Nazfoot. Forced into slavery, Iroe fought in proxy wars against the country of Bain, where he eventually killed one of his village, realizing the weapons he had mad for his unit were used to wipe out others of his previous community. Iroe fled to Ter, the only country to make slavery illegal.

Iroe prays to an older draconic smithing god known as the All Watcher. His catchphrase to summon his god's power through himself is "Oh Creator." Iroe's magic is that of repairing or healing though it can be turned to a an electric fire of radiance. Before the rebellion of the 6th world, the All watcher could not see its decifles brought to the snow elf world, but when the barrier was broken, Iroe's powers awakened in prayer. Having kept up traditions for generations, Iroe was singly the only worshiper of the All Watcher in the 1st world. A tradition passed down from smithing master to apprentice.

Frowden Berg:

Previously a human Viscopa noble, Frowden betrayed his slaving family, taking the boat to Ter. From their the older man ran many smuggling opportunities with the Ter government. Frowden once held rank within the Viscopa military, though this was due to his families wealth.

Froy Ester:

A human royal knight librarian of Ter. Being the bastard son of a Ter noble and a Kren noble, Froy dedicated himself to study, where he learned about history and limited use of magic. Being a good study was not his only trait. Froy also oned his skill with a collapsible greatsword. Froy takes passage on the Getros ship to smuggle a book from the colonies said to hold all of the Viscopa war secrets. As a royal librarian it is his duty to the crown to defend knowledge. Froy's half sister, a full blooded Ter, is Alexandria Ester a dragon knight that rides such a powerful beast to defend Ter. Froy always idolized his sister.

Willow Alavalantis Penleor (W)

Being a hell-born (a human race tainted by the bloodlines of a devil or demon), Willow received a tough upbringing. As the princess of the Penleor throne, the tyranny of her mother led to the eventual collapse of the kingdom to the Arumestan trade union with the assistance of the Viscopian army. Running for her life, Willow experienced such harsh realities as the rape of her handmaiden and eventual death of each of her bodyguards. Living on the street for many years in Viscopa, Willow would eventually be picked up by a Berg family slave boat, her boyish attire not fooling them. To her luck, this was the same night Frowden Berg had his epiphany of disession. The nobel freed all in the boat, betraying his family. Willow would later work for Frowden as a ship hand on the fishing vessel the Getros.

Though she never finished her schooling in magic, Willow developed her spells naturally. Tapping into the power of a devil named Damakos (who is trapped into her royal ring), Willow can weave large sums of magical fire to melt even steel to slag.

Calaway the Seeker:

A grey elf from the 6th world, Calaway works as a scout for a vicious empire that helped overthrow the snow elves on their world. Grey elves are born of one elf being brought back to life through necromancy, and then mating with a living elf. The children could then breed freely without this process, thus creating a magically superior form of elves.

Calaway worships the great draconic leviathan serpent Krakis, whom flies through the skies devouring floating mountains and other serpents with a storm of fury. Calaway harnesses this electric power through use of his bond with his spirit "Witchback." Witchback can take the form of any light construct of Calaway's will and thusly maintains that of his arcane revolver or a shocking motorcycle.

While chasing an aberang named Illar, Calaway falls through a portal to the 1st world from the 6th while the snow elf army is amassing through said group of portals on the 6th world. From there, Calaway gains the snow elves attention. The snow elf army massacres his peoples' largest city within minutes, making Calaway watch the death of his family via a handheld arcane device. When Calaway sees Daimetus, a snow elf, his hunt begins anew with a fury of anger.

Illar the Way Walker:

An aberang (monkey like race) from the 6th world. Illar's people received a vision that the snow elves were coming. Thus, with his innate ability to sense portal, Illar went to contain the threat though ill equipped. After an interruption from a rival faction scout (Calaway), the two made a temporary alliance once Illar realized that her had no way of stopping the massive troop landing.

Illar worships the god known as Gokuune, a shapeshifting giant from the snow elves last war who had allied with them. Gokuune's ability to control gravitational effects is reflected in Illar's magic as well as his signature bag that is bigger on the inside.

Aladrian Ra Sig, the prince of Sapphire:

The snow elf prince, brother to queen Scota Mara Ra Sig. A scientist in his own right, Aladrian takes matters of control into his own hands to take back control of the 6th world. Aladrian must prepare the 12 worlds for the coming doom that is the enemies of the snow elves. Aladrian is an antagonist in the series, having been the individual to order Daimetus's execution as well as Calaway's family. Aladrian agrees with the benefits of slavery and that each race has a specific place in the universe.
