Foundation (Lackey novel)

Foundation is a Fantasy novel written in 2008 by Mercedes Lackey. It is the first book in The Collegium Chronicles (followed by Intrigues (2010), Changes (2011), Redoubt (2013), and "Bastion" (2014) It is a depiction of the early history of Valdemar its timeline is between The Last Herald Mage and Brightly Burning. The book details a change in the training of Heralds from essentially an apprenticeship such as experienced by Tylendel and Vanyel, to a school based system such as the one in Arrows of The Queen and Brightly Burning. Not all Heralds are in favor of this mainly citing lack of supervision as an objection.

Plot summary

The novel tells the story of Mags, an enslaved child working alongside other enslaved orphans in the bowels of a gemstone mine. The mine owner, Cole Peters, treats the children with casual brutality, an Mags, orphaned in his early childhood, has known no other life all the way up until the mysterious white horse stampedes into his life. This of course, is Dallen, his Companion, who assists Mags by bringing in another Herald to free him and the children. Their freedom comes on the heels of the arrest of Cole Peters, and Mags is flung into the fray of Haven as a Heraldic Trainee, with no notion of life outside of abject slavery. This, of course, left its scars, and Mags has both no idea of how to function in "normal" society, and no notion of why he so often winds up on the wrong end of trouble. His heavy accent and "stupidity" about such normal things leads to the King's Own taking him under his wing as a spy protégé, however, Mags lives in perpetual fear of the bad old days. This fear isn't unjustified, for it seems all of the Heralds are experiencing their own tumultuous changes, as they slowly abandon the old system of apprenticeships which Vanyel learned in, for one of a collegiate style such as what Herald Talia and Herald Elspeth experienced in the time of Arrows of the Queen.

No Cure For Fools

by: Foundation

I pray that hand of yours gets cut right from your wrist,
As you cast out your arm and turn down your thumb.
It's so easy to pass out judgement when you take no fucking risks.
Don't need the approval of someone who spits poison every time they speak.
Venom rolls off your tongue, and between your teeth.
But your words don't mean a thing. (They've never meant a thing to me)
Cause you have never loved anything more than yourself.
And there is nothing, I said nothing, nothing,
So righteous, noble and good that your ego could not devour in a fucking
Heartbeat.
Hear the sound of your chest thump.
I pray that hand of yours get hacked right off your wrist.
Sliced through like a god damn hammer, hope the pain drops you to your
Fucking knees cause if you can't stand then you can't stomp on these
Dreams.
I've seen your kind. You're all the same.
