The Wizard Sarnod has lived in isolation on an island in the middle of a lake for centuries. But one day, the Nose of Memory arrives to destroy his calm by dredging up the past, and he must send three of his familiars to the subterranean Underhinds on a quest to find two people, long banished: his brother and a former lover. In the Underhinds, they will encounter living dirigibles, fire dragons, the Bloat Toad, unimaginable perils, and long buried secrets...
Based on Jack Vance's Dying Earth series, "The Three Quests of the Wizard Sarnod" is a longer and very different version of a story published in the Dozois-Martin edited Songs from the Dying Earth.
