Pocket Guide of the Civilized World - Tenth Edition - Imperial Scholar Gallus Val'Jul Eroris. Jewel of the World. This land is home to many cultures and many conflicts. It is called the Arena, in the Orcish tongue, but also called Beauty in the Eldyaar tongue. This land has had history, both good and bad, but I, and many others, still call it... home... - Archmage Oeric Kalyfir Foreword This tome was written in the year 4910 a. Re, during the reign of the Emperor Azelian the Great of the Ashen Empire. It has been two-thousand years since the conqueror, Alaro Ashen saved the lands of Eroris from the fires of the Third Interregnum and established the Ashen Empire. With the ascension of the new Emperor in 4E 821, the third edition of the Pocket Guide was commissioned by Emperor Azelian. My mentor, Galius Julius, worked diligently to pen this new work before, unfortunately passing away before he could complete it. With his death, both his work and his position in Imperial Archive fell to me to hold, and with that transition, I worked hard to complete his work. It is my hope, as was the hope of my mentor, that with this knowledge stored here, that Eroris can truly be enlightened again. |
