Acknowledgements
Southward Trek was composed largely by A.E. Clipson and Rick Austinson, with input by Iena Sunbirth, Natalie Cannon, and Erin West.
Structure
The text was composed partly in verse; partly in prose; and partly as a set of moral debates among its characters, known as its Dialogues.
Plot
The story follows Nathan Ransom, A.E. Clipson, Traroth the Dragon, and sometimes Nathan's sister Michelle, en route to rescue Nicole Ransom and Jonas R. Work from the Dark Order. Throughout the story they encounter numerous reversals and misfortunes (made only tolerable, because sorcery doesn't work on Dragons), until they ultimately reach the Temple of Camazotz, where the prisoners are held, and rescue them in a battle. Later, everyone is recaptured, freed, and captured again; and the final rescue is by Marcus Ransom himself, and some of Ransom's Crew. At the end of the story, Jonas marries the last survivor of the Dark Order: Isabelle Swanson-Collins.
Links to the Course Books
