Agadinmar

Agadinmar is first referred to in a series of Bolan's assorted notebooks dedicated to a work known as The Children Of Rarn, begun late in 1967 or early 1968. A possible hypothesis is that this was to be a multi-volume work intended for eventual publication, but interviews with Bolan in 1970 suggest that it would more immediately be realised as a multiple album set. Two notebooks have been reproduced in a publication called Krakenmist and they may well come from The Children Of Rarn story, with The Krakenmist being a chapter from one of the volumes, or in expanded form, a volume in its own right.

The appearance of Agadinmar in these notebooks predates the earlier reference to the Elf Lord and Wizard on the sleeve of A Beard Of Stars (released early 1970), which notes the contents as being "some lore from the books of Agadinmar." Agadinmar appeared again on an acoustic demonstration recording of a scene from The Children Of Rarn, performed slightly later: ". . . the ancient high priest . . . Old Agadinmar . . " This piece was re-recorded in 1974 with T Rex, indicating a continued interest in this apparently uncompleted project.
