The stories revolve around gods and men in fantastical realms such as Yarnith, Averon, and Zarkandhu, exploring themes of creation, power, and the interaction between deities and mortals. Through beautiful and evocative prose, Dunsany presents a world where the whims of the gods significantly alter the fate of humanity, particularly focusing on the coveted city of Sardathrion and its complex relationship with time itself. At the start of the collection, readers are introduced to the gods as they awaken in the dream city of Sardathrion, a place seemingly untouched by time until their servant, Time, arrives with catastrophic news of its destruction. This moment introduces the theme of the inevitable passage of time and mortality as the gods reminisce about their lost city and grapples with their vulnerability in the face of Time's authority. The beginning of the work sets the tone for a series of vibrant and symbolic narratives that explore the nature of divinity, the meaning of existence, and the sorrow of remembrance embedded within the fabric of reality.
