Prelude

As spoken by Proffesor Gaston vander Klil, Geomage from The Great School of Magic in Glantri, penned down by Separim Longstrider.

Wondews of Mystawean Natuwe.

Welcome in the Fascinating Wowld of natuwe.

In the fiwst episode of ouw twavels on "The Discovewy", we will visit the Ethengaw and the Bwoken Lands.

But Fiwst let me intwoduce ouwselves.

Ouw Stwong man is Salechaam Dewaan, fwom the Emiwates of Ylawuam. Bwought up and waised in the Makkwes Mountains of Wockhome, just nowth of Dewaan. Well known with the lands of wock and sand, he will guide us thewe.

Ouw othew companion is Sepawim Longstwidew, an Feadiel Elf frwom fowmer Alfheim. She will guide us in the wowld of plants, Fowests and woods of the wowld.

Ouw cook and most handy pewson is Stwaddle Leafboots fwom Fishtickle Bwidge in Heawtshiwe of the Five Shiwes. This Hin will bwing us into contact with the hills, wivews and fields.

That bwings us to myself, my name is Gaston vandew Klil, and not only am I the Leadew of this expedition, but I am also the mage with the knowledge of natuwe itself, geology, ecology and such.

At last we have Wow, ouw Guawddog, 'though he nevew listens to me.

And Samen and Dolos, the howses who pull ouw wagon "The Discovewy".
