As I travel away from home for the first time, the first of my people to step foot outside the bulwark of bark and bough that has shielded us since we were driven into Syl'thenal, I write this journal to make a record of what I find beyond the treeline. Though it has been brief at the time I write this, my experience of the land beyond our sea of green has been strange, frightening, fascinating, overwhelming and above all, breathtaking. I've seen places and peoples I didn't know existed, learned of stories and heroes that push the limits of anything even my dreams could manifest, discovered strange and beautiful plants and animals that seem almost alien to me. I write this journal, this account of distant lands so that when I return someday, my people and any people who have yet to set out themselves can understand the countless wonders that lie over the horizon, and prepare for the journey yet to come.
