Ok, I just wanted to know if The Keep is the first time Rasalom ever appears in FPW books. Was he in Black Wind? I havent read that one yet. I was curious if there was actually any referencing to the times through out history that Rasalom and Glaeken have battled eachother...? Thank you for any info...

There's a short story from 1979 called "Demonsong". That is the first meeting between Glaeken and "R". It was in a short story book called Heroic Fantasy. The ISBN is 0879974559 if you'd like to look for it online at used bookstores.

Demonsong was a neat little story. It was very different from The Keep, but I could still make the correlation between the short and the novel.

Except in that particular version of the story, the big R is called Rosalam...it was corrected in more recent editions, published elsewhere.

You can look here for publishing details.

After you get there, click on Works on the left side, scroll down to Other Books (it's the first one listed there) then scroll through the Plot Summary to the section called Publication History.

You should be able to find one of those copies, used, on the web somewhere.

Thanks for the link Wapitikev.

Here's the permaview in case you can't find it on the site, Ghaleon: Demonsong.

Welcome to the board.
