Heed mighty Dragon Slayers…for only the strong survive. Who will win the day when Elves, Dwarves, Halflings, Minotaurs, Lizard Folk, Wing Folk, Humans, Orcs and all manner of Mystical creatures face-off for limited spots on the coveted Power Index? Qualifying champions will be sponsored to trek the journey aboard the Great Viking Ships for the raid on Monster Isle. Will Wyatt the Wanderer qualify at the Tournament of Champions? He must clash against some of the greatest heroes of all Landoria such as the Barbarian Brothers-Ragnar the Berserker and Dolf the Beastmaster, Takeo’ Sakaraba the Shogun Samurai, the Tribesmen of the Badlands-Hiawatha the Halfsquatch Warrior and Pawathan the Young Brave, The Mysterious Ninja, and even Gorge the Orcish Cavalier. With a little luck, and the help of his friends, Wyatt alongside Abigail the Witch, Gattle the Gnome Alchemist, the Mighty Ulg the Ogre Warrior, The Lord Knight Sir Vincent, and Melaf the Half-sprite Jester…he just may have an opportunity to venture on the greatest quest of all time. While some heroes chase fame and fortune, others wish to obtain the vaunted Dragon’s Orb which gives right for rulership over all of Landoria. Every hero, whether serving their kingdoms or their own agenda, will battle over the high stakes at Wringly Coliseum; where only the ultimate will gain rite to call themselves Dragon Slayers! Will Baban the Grand Wizard win the Sorcerer’s Spar? Will the Head Hunters gain the top overall spot on the Power Rankings or will it be the dreaded Drow? Though the greatest champions of all Landoria will depart for Monster Island, does that guarantee any of them survival when they must prevail over the perils of the DeathTrap Dungeon or when facing against The Vile Dragoth- the Black Wyrm, the Dragon who guards the mysterious isle?
The book shows that self-help in commercial law is a fast, inexpensive and efficient alternative to court enforcement. Self-help remedies and private debt collection are largely but not exclusively features of common law jurisdictions, since remnants of private enforcement can still be found in contract law in civilian systems. The book argues that – despite their usefulness – self-help and private debt collection entail significant risks, especially for consumer debtors. This means that private enforcement needs to be accompanied by the introduction of tailor-made consumer-debtor protection regulation. Specific attention is given to factoring, which functions in many instances as a form of pseudo-private debt collection and which has been exploited to bypass sector-specific consumer protection regulations.
This book is a scientific treatise on the principle of legality in criminal law. It explores the relation between the principle of legality and the general theory of criminal law and contains definite rules emphasized for practitioners as well as academia.
Travel, Tourism and Identity addresses the psychological and social adjustments that occur when people make contact with others outside their social, cultural, or linguistic groups. Whether such contact is the result of tourism, seeking exile, or relocating abroad, the volume's contributors demonstrate how one's identity, cultural assumptions, and worldview can be brought into question. In some cases, the traveller finds that bridging the social and cultural gap between himself and the new society is fairly easy. In other cases, the traveller discovers that reorienting himself requires absorbing a new cultural history and traditions. The contributors argue that making these adjustments will surely enhance the traveller's or tourist's experience; otherwise the traveller or tourist will be at risk of becoming a marginalized figure, one disconnected from the society that surrounds him. This latest volume in the Culture & Civilization series features a collection of essays on travel and tourism. The essays cover a range of topics from historical travels to modern social identities. They discuss ancient travels, contemporary travels in Europe, Africa and sustainable eco-tourism, and the politics of tourism. Essays also address experiences of Grenada's "Spice Island" identity, and the effects of globalization and migrations on personal identity.
