While you may lack imagination, nymphs, I assure you, do not. Nor does the public that eagerly awaits this work.

* Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms, mentioned in a [https://twitter.com/TheEdVerse/status/1235719179539484678F tweet] that Volo never got to publish the book on his own. He ended up publishing it as ''Nymphs In Need (Of My Embraces)'' under the pseudonym ''Valhalaeria the Vaunted''. | |||
