Dear librarians,
I’m doing my best to collect my notes into individual narratives. Some of them aren’t finished yet, and I’m sorry about that. I’m still trying to help people get stuff sorted out. But I think some of it can be called “complete enough”.
Please find enclosed:
- Mysteries of the Arcana. This talks about the process of finding, befriending, and working with various Arcana. It also talks about the dangers of underestimating the power of these entities, and the importance of respect in building a relationship.
- The Quiet Knight: the story of Sir Ortis and the Sorcerer Surdak. The full story is incomplete here in the real world, so this should not be considered a finished narrative either! There is still much to learn. I’ll be interviewing Surdak and Sir Ortis posthumously to learn more.
- The Tale of Grandfather Oak. This is short, but captures what I know about this particular entity and the Arcanum that came about.
- The Hundred City-States. This is a gazetteer covering certain destinations in the region. This is primarily intended for the Senate of the Isle of Harmony, but the Gallimaufry ought to have a copy as well.
- Demons in the Stream of Souls - an explanation of the ecological role demons play in the Stream of Souls, and experience in working with certain demons. A very incomplete set of notes! I need expansion from the Druid Lixana to do this topic any justice, really.
- The Trishenko Migration - the most unfinished story in the sense that it hasn’t properly begun. However, this will attempt to document the various factors leading to the animalkin of the northern regions deciding to move elsewhere.
- The Seven Successors - the story of Lady Ambra and other squirrelkin. Also grotesquely unfinished, but I think what I have is important enough to pass along. This is a key part of the history of the Archmagus, something I’m sure everybody on the Gallimaufry ought to find interesting.
I’m doing my best to uphold the scholastic standards of the Gallimaufry, and I’m sure I’ll fail horribly. But unfinished stories are better than nothing, as long as their contents are accurate.
