On the wide roads of Kama and the crooked streets of the Namir cities, in the forests of the Expanses and the trading shops of Gasur, in the midst of the sun-scorched Tamghan plateaus and the lush gardens of Idil, there are many strange creatures. Some are grumpy and unfriendly, others will not mince words, there are those who will cheat if the opportunity arises, while others will give you shelter, warm you up and won’t ask for a penny. But beware, inexperienced traveler! Don’t rush to rely on the promises of the first person you meet. Be especially careful with those who are full of good intentions. It may be that under the guise of a benefactor there is a demon hiding, and demons have their own concepts of mercy.
