The Blade of the Flame is a trilogy by Tim Waggoner chronicling the adventures of Diran Bastiaan, a priest of the Church of the Silver Flame in the Eberron Campaign Setting. It consists of:
- Thieves of Blood
- Forge of the Mindslayers
- Sea of Death
These books provide examples of:
- Heterosexual Life-Partners: Diran begins the series with only Ghaji by his side, and at the end everyone splits up, leaving Diran and Ghaji alone again.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: In the third book, the plan to create an army of Weresharks is foiled when a disgraced paladin Werewolf appears on the scene. He is subsequently bitten by an aforementioned wereshark and manages to become cursed AGAIN. Result? Weresharkwolf... or werewolfshark. One of the two anyways...
- Screw the Rules, I Have Plot!: The books are good, but the author clearly didn't read the psionics rules. Any psionic character is basically treated as a Gamebreaker (Remember, you can only use a number of power points equal to or less than your Manifester Level, no more.)
- Clearly Solus out-leveled the rest of the cast significantly, plus there's the whole issue of what a psi-forged might be able to do in the first place.
