He changes drastically when vengeance becomes his only real motive. Tau was a standard and safe character at the beginning of the narrative but his development throughout is dramatic and very well done. Things change dramatically but mostly for Tau the day that Jabari attends his warrior trials and that where the story really begins. Tau even has a love interest in his village called Zuri.
All seems content and life doesn’t seem too harsh. Although best friends they are aware that their blood will lead them to walk different roads in the future even though the nobles, commoners, and the drudge are all on the same side. Jabari wishes to join the Indlovu which is the group for the most powerful noble caste warriors. As a noble Jabari is bigger, stronger, faster, fitter and beats Tau the majority of the time. He spends his days practicing with the second son of a petty noble house called Jabari. These are the elite fighters from the lesser castes. Tau wants to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an Ihashe soldier too. His father was an Ihashe warrior and now helps keep the settlement secure and safe. He lives in a relatively small town and spends the majority of his days helping his father in his duties or training with the sword. Castes and birthright are hugely important in this novel and Tau is a higher common. The pinnacle of their powers, and the aspect that the hedeni fear the most is that when Gifted work together they can call a Dragon Guardian to aid them on the battlefield to bloody and devastating effect.Īfter an incredible prologue which is set 186-cycles prior, we spend The Rage of Dragons mostly following Tau’s third person perspective. They can turn a warrior into an Ingonyama which is a giant, amazingly powerful protective being. These are powerful female mages who can source power from the underworld Isihogo.
The hedeni may have superior numbers but the Chosen have the Gifted. In The Rage of Dragons the inhabitants of Omehi who are known as the Chosen have been warring with the savage hedeni tribes for hundreds of years.
