Dearest Elminster,


While you may lack imagination, nymphs, I assure you, do not. Nor does the public that eagerly awaits this work. I will refrain from publishing this piece for now, but only that I may conduct a more extensive bout of research.


Your friend these many years,


Volothamp Geddarm

== Trivia ==
* This book also appeared in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverwinter_Nights_2:_Storm_of_Zehir Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir], set in the Forgotten Realms as well, around 100 years before [[Baldur's Gate 3]].
* 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''.
