| Summary | "Tedric" by E. E. Smith is a science fiction novel that was likely written in the early to mid-20th century. The book tells the story of Tedric, a Lomarrian ironmaster who, with the help of a new and mysterious god named Llosir, seeks to overthrow Sarpedion, the cruel god of his people who demands human sacrifices. This tale is a blend of adventure and myth, exploring themes of power, rebellion, and the quest for knowledge. The narrative follows Tedric as he strives to create a powerful new metal, guided by Llosir, to aid in his rebellion against the oppressive Sarpedion. As Tedric innovates in metallurgy, he faces opposition from Sarpedion's priests and mercenaries. After crafting a high-alloy steel sword and armor, he ultimately confronts the god's minions in battle, leading to the climactic act of destroying Sarpedion’s image and challenging the system of sacrifice that has plagued his people for so long. The novel culminates with Tedric's triumph, as he gains the support of the king and solidifies the role of his new god, Llosir, while also abolishing the grim practice of human sacrifice.
