Greetings reader, my name is Wakavaga, I am a travelling artist. Since childhood, I’ve been drawn to the beauty of our world, and while it is sick, I still find it overwhelming with beauty. And so, I’ve made my life’s mission to share with you the findings of my travels. This may be incoherent at first, but I’ll make sure to update and add to this book every time my travels lead me back to Sargath and the Storm Library.
May this book offer you new eyes to see the world through.

The Shard of Vark Nalaror is nowadays a simple settlement that thrives only because it was built over ruins of an ancient outpost of the Cerulean Empire. Thriving is also perhaps a strong word, surviving is more like it.
Rumors also say that the Shattering that lies at the center of its eponymous broken mountain has been getting more and more out of control. The amount of Sarjai expeditions sent there over the last few cycles is probably proof enough of that.

The tavern owner of Vark Nalaror is known as Londak. His name means the Lone Guard in Orikah, which is a suitable name, as he is indeed the only guard capable of fighting in that little settlement. This maybe why they often enlist the aid of the Sarjai when the town is at risk.
