Preface

 

 

 

 

In 15 BD, the Watcher, Xith, is recorded as saying that “History belongs to the teller and is only as reliable as the teller's recollection of it.” This is the truth of the matter, and why Keeper Martin, head of the lore keepers, chose to pen his own version of the histories of Ruin Mist before and after the return of Dalphan the Wanderer.

 

Through Keeper Martin's gathering of history from various individuals, the story of Ruin Mist is retold in these pages. Keeper Martin would like you to think that his version of the history is the only truthful and correct account but then again, history belongs to the teller and is only as reliable as the teller's recollection of it.

 

In his records, Keeper Martin Anglicized many of the place and people names. The original names and spellings are preserved in Encyclopedia of Ruin Mist. His annotations about various peoples and creatures are preserved in Fantastical Beasts and Faerie Peoples of Ruin Mist.
