The Travels

'My name is Fira Nazar, daughter of the esteemed alchemist and metallurgist Ahad’in Nazar. My lineage holds great ties to the greater city of Xinlelal, capital of al-Amhruqa Alta - or perhaps in your tongue, the land known as Netheril. From a young age my father instilled in me a great sense of wonder and hope for this world of ours, and its varied lands. The way of life of those living elsewhere had often caught my great interest, and as such, I set out on my travels in the Year of the Four Horsemen, 1490. I spent much time at sea, and even more on land, travelling the world several times round. Though you may be asking yourself why it took me two, almost three decades to compile this book, do not be worried - I spent much of my travels living in an assortment of cities and lands described hereafter, in order to get such a feel for the land, and those who call it home.'- The prologue.
'The Travels' was an extensive and lovely little book written by Fira Nazar, first published in 1517. It detailed her travels around the world, and gave a small and lovely insight into some stories and places. It became a bestseller all over the world, as people learnt what their fellow people lived like.
