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
Researcher
Raconteur
etc.
Notes
- This book also appeared in Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir, set in the Forgotten Realms, around 100 years prior to the events of Baldur's Gate 3.
- Ed Greenwood, creator of the Forgotten Realms, mentioned in a tweet that Volo never published the book on his own. He ended up publishing it as Nymphs In Need (Of My Embraces) under the pseudonym Valhalaeria the Vaunted.
