The company with which I
travel has reached the
settlement of Freeport, little
more than a collection of
tents and wooden huts
guarded by ruffians and
crawling with brigands and
men of a most scrupulous
nature. Despite the filth
and seediness of the

settlement, I must admit there
are wonders to be found here
unlike any I have laid eyes on
in all of Antonica. Tradesman

gathered from across the
Ocean of Tears on a
continent said to be filled
with lush forests and
strange humanoids, some of
which are fairly hospitable to
visiting foreigners. I can

are as strange to them as
they are to us.

Never have I dreamt of a body
of water so vast as the Ocean
of Tears, although my home
city of Qeynos rests against
the western coast of Antonica
I have never voyaged upon a
ship for such great distances
and so far from any visible
coastline. The traders that we
have purchased passage
from recount tales of
several Islands that have

I have never voyaged upon a
ship for such great distances
and so far from any visible
coastline. The traders that we
have purchased passage
from recount tales of
several Islands that have
page 4
been visible in the distance
through the ocean mist
and fog. They spoke of an
island of elven women that
slay any man who sets foot on
their sacred shores, of
goblins that live in the
shallows and underwater
caverns, and of one-eyed
giants that hunt sharks like
our fishermen hunt fish. There
are even tales of lost ships
through the ocean mist
and fog. They spoke of an
island of elven women that
slay any man who sets foot on
their sacred shores, of
goblins that live in the
shallows and underwater
caverns, and of one-eyed
giants that hunt sharks like

are even tales of lost ships
page 5
that haunt the ocean, manned
by crews of the dead. How
much truth there is to any
of the tales is questionable
but if anything, they make
for entertaining stories to
pass the time at sea.

The ship that carries my
companions and I has docked
by crews of the dead. How

The ship that carries my
companions and I has docked

on the shore of a region
called the Butcherblock
Mountains. Apparently this
is the homeland of the
Dwarves, a race of short,
stocky, gruff, and hairy
people with a fondness
for battle and beer.
I'm afraid I have not much in
common with these dwarven
folk but the warriors of my
company seem to have
called the Butcherblock
Mountains. Apparently this
is the homeland of the
Dwarves, a race of short,
stocky, gruff, and hairy
people with a fondness
for battle and beer.
I'm afraid I have not much in

folk but the warriors of my
company seem to have

taken a liking to them.
There are none among us
who speak their language but
a few of the dwarves that
