From the introduction: The heart of the world of Fälgorna pumps with the blood of adventurers and its lungs fill with air fortified by the heroism of the characters who travel its vast lands and ply its great oceans. Fälgorna lives and grows like a sentient creature, but it is the characters who provide the soul of this fantastic land of dragons, magic and legend. Without these characters, the forests, mountains, monsters, cities, kingdoms, dungeons and secret societies become nothing more than meaningless scribbles on countless scraps of paper. The characters of Fälgorna are its children. User summary: Revised March 24, 2001
