As our lands are recovering well, I feel it is time we turned our attention towards documenting our great continent's splendour and magnificence. I shall detail my journies across Aldenia and then beyond, to our neighbours across the oceans. I hope, with all my heart, that you find enjoyment within and you feel the urge to follow in my footsteps. — The introduction of The Adventures of Hajar Stoutsong Vol. 1: Northwest Aldenia
The Collected Adventures of Hajar Stoutsong are an archive of journals written by the most renowned explorer of the current age,
Hajar Stoutsong. As of the year 584PC, Hajar has written fourteen volumes of his adventures recalling his journies across the six continents. Hajar is supposedly currently in the south-western continent of Suriima, completing the fifteenth - and final - volume for what he now refers to as his 'initial world voyage', indicating a desire to return and revisit places in the future and delve deeper into certain cultures and aspects and to fill in any gaps he left behind before. For the initial fifteen volumes, there is one dedicated to each kingdom, country or major state in Axora.
Origin
The Adventures of Hajar Stoutsong began as a way to deal with Hajar's dissatisfaction with the level and quality of information regarding the status of the current world. So, in order to fix that problem, Hajar took it upon himself to provide that update. He set off in 541PC and began exploring and detailing the Dwarven and Gnomish lands of Northwest Aldenia, which ultimately became Volume 1.
The Collection
The fourteen existing volumes are:
- Volume 1: Northwest Aldenia - The Dwarven & Gnomish Lands
- Volume 2: Southwest Aldenia - The Elven Lands
- Volume 3: Eastern Aldenia - The Human Lands
- Volume 9: The Khena Empire
- Volume 12: Balhos & Associated Islands
- Volume 13: Zoves, Cosania & The Isles of Ilhon
- Volume 14: The Quitapha Dynasty
'Volume 15: The Couvalon Kingdom' should be completed within the next year.
