The members of Burgdale, a complacent, peaceful land, learn that vicious Asiatic invaders known as the Dusky Horde are planning to attack them, enslave the men, and rape the women. The Burgdalers comprise three populations: the powerful residents of Burgstead, who live communally in six kinship groups; the independent Dalesmen, who are mainly shepherds; and the Woodlanders, a smaller and decidedly weaker group. J. R. R. Tolkien\u0026#39;s *The Lord of the Rings* was influenced by this tale of a romance that unites two long-ago peoples and of the battle to defend their freedom against invading Huns.

De bewoners van Burgdale, een gezapig, vredevol land, komen te weten dat wreedaardige Aziatische veroveraars onder de naam Dusky Horde van plan zijn om hen aan te vallen, de mannen tot slaaf te maken en de vrouwen te verkrachten. De Burgdalers bestaan uit drie bevolkingsgroepen: de machtige bewoners van Burgstead, die gezamenlijk leven in zes groepen; de onafhankelijke Dalesmen, hoofdzakelijk schapenherders; en de Woodlanders, een kleinere en duidelijk zwakkere groep. Dit romantische verhaal over de vereniging van twee volkeren van weleer en over hun gevecht voor vrijheid tegen de binnenvallende Hunnen be\u0026iuml;nvloedde *The Lord of the Rings* van J.R.R. Tolkien.
