"I have journeyed far and wide, across many different planes of existence, all of Ozel, and even accompanied sailors in their search for other lands. I have seen wonders and horrors alike, and have gladly written them down in my aim to share and spread knowledge of the natural world. However, if there was one thing I feared recording, it would be the Outworlders. They seem to exist outside the notion of realms and planes, spawning not from shadow or light, but from sheer nothingness. Even as I write this I feel as if I am being watched."
