I, Eldwyn, Master Lore Guardian and leader of the
guild of Lore Guardians, do hereby set stylus to
parchment and begin what will undoubtedly be my
final journal. I am old. I have no illusions that my
remaining days are few. It is my hope that my
successor will read this journal, preserving the odd
bits of wisdom I have accumulated on our world …
and the worlds beyond.

Most entries herein come from my 150 years of
experience as Lore Master of Perathia. Several items,
however, originate from other Lore Masters and
adventurous travelers who have explored more
exotic and perilous realms. I shall note the
appropriate sources where applicable — and
whether any degree of skepticism should be
allocated to them.

One word of caution as you read: Knowledge is a
dangerous instrument. The old ways and the tools of
the Ancients should never be used lightly. There are
perils and delights that we Perathians were never
meant to fathom. And yet, who but the Lore
Guardians are fit to study and protect our people
from these dangers? Our mission is a double-edged
blade: To understand and yet not be seduced by the
old ways.

I have experienced so many wonders in the world ...
waterfalls of lava, floating castles, ethereal creatures.
Whoever reads my words I wish you as long and
fruitful an existence as I have had. I wish you luck.

Eldwyn
