Sanibonani! Umlingo at your service. Who has the pleasure of meeting the future 'King of Knaves'? Krystallia holds many secrets and with secrecy comes hidden treasure. No, I'm not talking about mere gold, but magical amulets, weapons which are attuned to the elements, and other items that have been previously seen as myth. Unfortunately, in the search of one particular lore, I find myself captive by a beautiful, but intimidating, noblewoman of the Sumerki Elves. How can I rid myself of an enchanted tower? Alas, I must shake the hands of a Teufel and become indebted to a devil!

Umlingo the Rogue Warlock

Luck appears to be on my side. In my hand is a map of Middangeard! I chuckle lightly in disbelief. Carefully, I glance over at the map. I can see the details of forests and rivers. Towards the west lies the Fjall Mountains. 'That must be where the Sindre disappeared to from the tale.' I shake my head as I decide that's not the path I wish to make. Suddenly, a name beckons my attention. 


"Ja-lo-ki-vi," I read out loud while pronouncing each syllable.


The word does not seem to be in Sindre, but what language does it pertain to? With a newfound curiosity, I eagerly place the map back on my person. Enough time has passed for my clothes to dry. 'Good, this way I won't damage the map!' I think with excitement.


A map is only as useful as its legibility. 


I stand and glance around. One in travel requires more supplies at hand. My gaze turns towards the wooden crate Fiskarinn keeps for his fishing needs. I walk through the sand and stop at the box. A frown crosses my lips.
