One Hundred Fantastic Facts Come to Life

Based on Old Tim's One Hundred Facts about Aqualon and the follow-up volumes, the author and historian Martin Dübel decided to take various facts from Timothy Jargon's compendiums and attach tiny stories to them to sell as a booklet.   In 1693 GE, the first edition was printed in Altonar, and soon the Big Chimney Publishing Company reprinted the booklet and sold it throughout the Middle Lands, the Axis of Steel, and Vechnaya Bramma.
