Dedication

No book can be written without the aid and support of numerous people.

Special thanks to those who served as guides through various places, answered innumerable questions, or engaged in what must have seemed to them very strange conversations – especially when I wasn’t always clear in explaining why I was asking. Obviously I cannot list everyone but these are those who put up with the most:

Iron Knight Alfin Slowhand
Iron Knight Islander the Demon Slayer
Iron Knight Purazon
Korba the Light Bearer
Lineagist Urkki
Meara
Sorynn
Thorin the Dainty
Topaz the Poet

Bookbinding and publishing made possible by Lineagist Urkki
Mention must also be made of Valey Yelowtree's Treatise on flora and fauna as well.

Dedicated to researchers everywhere - long may you enjoy the use of your limbs!
