Valions book of Idioms for the Underdark traveler

Have you ever wandered what is meant when one says:

"Don't sleep too heavily"

"What a Capital idea"

"Don't stick your sword in anothers scabbard"

In his latest book, renowned linguist Valion Toohnic gives the reader an insight into the many different peoples, cultures and histories of the Underdark as exhibited by their use of Idioms and phrases.
In writing this book Valion and his team of linguists travelled far and wide, from Capital to the Kingdom of Wuan, even stopping off at the Isles; every moment of this linguistic adventure is brought to life by his witty and engaging style.
Other books by the author include: Where do words come from, a enthralling journey into the route languages of the Underdark. A must for anyone interested in how our language developed. The secret language of Capital, uncovering the mysterious slang and phraseology used by Capitals most notorious gangs, truly neccessary to all in the City.
Valions Toohnic is Capitals most prominent Author-Linguist, leading the council for redistribution of words and sits on the panel for improper use of the Letter 'inc'. In his spare time, when not off hunting down unknown words, Valion tends to his award winning miniature tree garden in his manor on 42nd.
