Text

Great Dukes and Duchesses, Lords and Ladies, and all who seek knowledge of the world: welcome! I have travelled far, seen much, and recorded all.

My odyssey began in a humble tavern, where I met a ⁠Rashemi mercenary. An approachable fellow, he offered me a tale in exchange for a drink. I accepted, and was soon rapt as one ale became six.

He told me the legends of his people, sharing their stories and culture. He told me of the lands he'd visited - from the ⁠Silver Marches to ⁠Calimshan, from the ⁠Moonshae Isles to the ⁠Plains of Purple Dust. The more he spoke, the more I realised I'd never travelled farther than ⁠Beregost. I felt like a fly, spending my short life buzzing about a latrine, ignorant of everything I was missing. Well, no more!

The next day I packed a bag and set out, following the ⁠Chionthar east. I would travel to ⁠Rashemen, see this magnificent world, and document it all.
