Ashad Ibn Khaled, High Scribe, House of Quills, Hammerfell The events chronicled in this account are all true, were originally documented in a private journal (which now remains safely guarded in the House of Quills in Hammerfell) and occurred not more than a year before this book was printed. But make no mistake - this is not a work of fiction. Dearest reader: The work you are about to experience has been copied and duplicated, so that the story it relates can be spread throughout the Empire.
