Lightning Lord (Margololo-golo II)
Quarrioc
A wind whips up from the west, carrying hints of the steam curtain’s humid perfume and of the acrid brimstone beyond. Clouds circle with life as their nebulous forms congeal into coherence. Thunder resounds, and all vessels upon the southern waves desperately seek the shelter of a lee shore, or else prepare to fight for their lives. The Lightning Lord looks upon the land, and is angered by what he sees. May he be merciful or may you never again know anything but the endless fathoms of oblivion.

Whether tempestuous or tranquil, the seas of the Southern coast of Haven Isle hold a bounty of knowledge for those who would listen. Tales are told on the wind of ages come and gone, of mighty empires risen and fallen, and of the flora and fauna who dwell in their myriads upon the shores and in the caves.

Mirrormourn, a fantasy setting by Esper the Bard, is a world of mysteries, an inversion of many common tropes, and a land in motion. Old wars between elves and giants flare up again, with the giants' dwarven thralls and the elves' goblin allies caught in the fray. Despite this, the land, at its roots, is wild and its natural forces and old gods cannot be truly resisted. Thus is the state in which exists the southern coast of Haven Isle, the Cavernous Coast whose tales are told in this tome.
