Within these pages you shall find many maps and written works meant to aid you in traveling Valerick. Countries, a brief note of some of their unique cultural customs and laws, cultural things to be aware of. Geographic considerations, climate, as well as the sorts of foods and drink you can expect. The more wild areas will have brief notes of the sorts of flora and fauna one can expect, particularly any unique sorts one may wish to try and observe and document, or avoid at all costs. Cities and other settlements will have a brief entry of course, and will note at least a place or two of interest to visit. Roads, Railways, Sky-Ports, and Marine Ports will all be marked and noted. Thoughout these tomes you can find the most complete and substantial guide to traveling Valerick, this world we call home. I do hope they convey at least some of the wonder and joy of this place, this world we call home unto you as well, though mere written words, maps, and still arts or portaits can only convey so much. To truly experience it one must travel it, must live and breathe it. So my ultimate hope is to inspire a desire to travel. Whether it just be to a neighboring city, or cross country or even to explore wild and forgotten regions across the continents, I hope I impart a bit of that desire upon you, dear reader.
Sincerely
Mar'elin Du'ristic, Grandmaster Cartographer
