The Wand Warrior

Katha Singh

Overview

King Singha Worraman created the Katha Singha (a magical mace) by inviting the King of Heaven and various deities to bless it with their powers. It was given to Chaiya, the fearless general of the Tai people. His duty is to fight off invading forces and protect his kingdom. A power struggle ensues between Chaiya and the Royal Priest. Chaiya’s life ends in a struggle. Buasawan, who is the Royal Priest’s daughter, is in love with Chaiya, and before her own death, she breaks the Katha Singha into two pieces.
