Galencian Explorer
Yarmin liked to exaggerate and say that he deliberately explored the
Frosted Mountains at the request of the King. He would never admit that he got lost. He also never spoke of his travels across the
Orkish Hills, the memories of hunger and the fear of its bestial residents too painful. No, if you spoke to Yarmin, he strode into
Pash-ti in
484 BC with a clear head and orders from the King to befriend the
emperor.
And when he left,
nearly three decades later, returning to
Galencia with wild tales of the barbaric northland, few believed him. He eked out an existence in these later years telling wild tales of his travels to whomever would listen, fashioning them into poems of sorts with hopes of earning a few coppers for recitation. Most literary critics agree that structurally, the poems are awful. Their topics, however, touch upon
Flind mysticism, a concept foreign to the
Human mind. Wrestling with these concepts in a
language not equipped to discuss them, historians often give Yarmin's writing a pass for introducing them to Galencia.
