| CF | | ||
| CF | Endlessly trudging upwards, you begin to question the sanity of the | ||
| CF | pilgrims you met and walked with for a time, who showed you the path | ||
| CF | crossing this "hill", and did not call it a mountain. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Then the forest opens into a clearing; you look up and are stunned by | ||
| CF | the view of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The memory of the high | ||
| CF | plain, its brownness and deadness, seems to fade almost in an instant. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Hill's Crest | ||
| CF | You are at the edge of a clearing with an impressive view of the | ||
| CF | mountains. A trail splits off toward some standing stones to the | ||
| CF | southwest, while the main road emerges from the forest to the east and | ||
| CF | continues westward down the hill, via a series of switchbacks. | ||

| CF | the shape of your body, your clothes fit you poorly. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | You met a group of about thirty pilgrims, mostly families, on their | ||
| CF | way to a holy lake on Kinamant. Since the roads are safer for | ||
| CF | travelers in groups, you thought it prudent to join them, even though | ||
| CF | the route they traveled was less direct than the main Isult-Gerezon | ||
| CF | road. They were very kind to you, sharing their food and their tents. | ||
| CF | You were a little sorry that you had to part ways with them. | ||

| CF | Most of your journey was over the high plain. 'Desert' would be a | ||
| CF | better name for the vast gray-brown expanse. Even the stream beds were | ||

| CF | After the war, you hoped that the rhythms of life would return to | ||
| CF | normal in Valula, and that the griefs and the wounds would be allowed | ||

| CF | A seedy town on the East-West caravan route, famous for its hot | ||

| CF | The whores of Gerezon were all independents as far as you could tell, | ||
| CF | and too expensive to have tempted you even if you hadn't already been | ||
| CF | more than halfway to neutral gender. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | In Valula independent prostitution was banned. The town had retained a | ||
| CF | small harem, ostensibly for the exclusive use of the Guard and the | ||
| CF | priesthood, but money and discretion work the same everywhere, you | ||
| CF | suppose. | ||

| CF | with reopening trade through their lands, for he had heard the men of | ||

| CF | Her father agreed to this, for everyone knew that Khallah was the best | ||

| CF | Khallah set three contests for Aemil. First, she pointed out a rocky | ||
| CF | cliff face, and bade him race her to the top. Khallah climbed | ||
| CF | bare-handed. Even though he had the best enchanted climbing equipment | ||
| CF | that could be bought in Welet, Aemil struggled to reach the top at the | ||
| CF | same moment as Khallah. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | The chief protested that Aemil was cheating, but Khallah said, "I | ||
| CF | meant to test all of the strengths of the west, and their strength in | ||
| CF | industry is clearly one we lack. Therefore I judge that, in this, | ||
| CF | Aemil has been proven my equal." | ||

| CF | For the second bout, Khallah suggested a contest of song. Khallah | ||
| CF | chose a song of the history of her people. Her voice was pure and | ||
| CF | clear, and did not falter though she sang for at least two hours. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Aemil chose to sing the Decurion's Lament, and found to his surprise | ||
| CF | that he still remembered almost all of the words, and was able to | ||
| CF | artfully improvise the rest. Still, he was not sure that it could have | ||
| CF | matched Khallah's performace. But at the end, he received applause as | ||
| CF | loud as had been given to Khallah. Both camps agreed that the songs | ||
| CF | were equally good. | ||

| CF | Finally Khallah asked Aemil to hunt the giant butterflies that came | ||
| CF | out only on moonless nights in the tundra. If Aemil could collect as | ||
| CF | many as Khallah did, then Aemil's dream of restoring trade to the | ||
| CF | Orient would come to fruition. However, Aemil's night vision was no | ||
| CF | match for Khallah's, and he despaired that this time he would truly | ||
| CF | lose. Then Daermot, his goblin guide, came to him and offered to help. | ||
| CF | "I can use my echolocation to help you find the butterflies." And when | ||
| CF | the sun rose, Khallah and Aemil turned out their bags, and counted an | ||
| CF | equal number of butterflies in each. | ||

| CF | Again the chief protested, but Khallah would have none of it. "The | ||
| CF | goblins of Radakh take our tribute money, and yes, it is true that | ||
| CF | some of it pays for things that are useful to us. But have they ever | ||
| CF | offered us friendship, like this goblin has to Aemil? I say that this | ||
| CF | friendship between human and goblin is a strength that we lack, and | ||
| CF | that this man has successfully proven himself in all three contests." | ||
| CF | Then she looked into Aemil's eyes. "And what's more, since no man | ||
| CF | before has proven himself my equal, and it may be that none ever will, | ||
| CF | I would be your wife, if you would have me." | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | [1 of 5] | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Congratulations! You are now the owner of one of the finest magick | ||
| CF | enhanced bags on the market today, handmade by expert craftsmen in the | ||
| CF | renowned Kniebglitz Workshops and imbued with arcane power by the | ||
| CF | Great Kniebglitz himself. You'll probably want to put it to use | ||
| CF | immediately, but before you do, please take a few moments to | ||
| CF | familiarize yourself with the care of your Kniebglitz Magickal Bag. | ||
| CF | Properly maintained, it will serve you faithfully for many decades. | ||

| CF | Protecting Your Bag's Enchantments | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Do not place additional enchantments on your bag or expose it to raw | ||
| CF | mana flux. Using magick cancellation devices on your bag is | ||
| CF | potentially dangerous, and automatically voids all warranties. The | ||
| CF | Kniebglitz Company disclaims all liability for any property damage, | ||
| CF | injury or death resulting from the use of such devices. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Caring for Your Bag's Emotional Health | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Like all magickal artifacts, your bag is a sentient being with its own | ||
| CF | emotions, and works best when it feels best. Let your bag know you | ||
| CF | care about it. Talk to it. Stroke it. Your bag will be happiest when | ||
| CF | it is being useful, that is, when it is carrying other things that are | ||
| CF | useful to you. If you put items that you consider to be useless junk | ||
| CF | inside your bag, your bag will probably feel insulted. If you have | ||
| CF | several magickal bags together in one place, strong emotions in one | ||
| CF | bag will influence others to feel similarly. | ||

| CF | Using Your Bag | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | When your bag is nearing its capacity, it will become reluctant to | ||
| CF | accept new items that you put in it. Do not put living creatures in | ||
| CF | your bag. (Except models KMB004 "Emergency Shelter Bag" and KMB005 | ||
| CF | "Livestock Bag.") | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Storing Your Bag | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | When you are not using your bag, keep it neatly folded, and store it | ||
| CF | in a cool, dry place. Let your bag know that even though you can't put | ||
| CF | it to use at that moment, it's still important to you. | ||
| CF | | ||
| CF | Self storage of bags is not recommended, as they are easy to misplace | ||
| CF | in their compact state. | ||

| CF | Library | ||
| CF | Bookshelves line the walls of this room. There must be thousands of | ||
| CF | volumes here; far more than you have seen in your entire life. Magic | ||
| CF | lamps in the ceiling suffuse the room with warm light. One bookcase | ||
| CF | has been fashioned into what seems to have been intended to be a | ||
| CF | secret door; as it currently stands half open, it's hardly secret now. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | The hanging takes up most of the wall to your right. It is woven from | ||
| CF | rough fibers, and divided like a quilt into a great number of shapes, | ||
| CF | no two the alike in form, and each composed of a number of smaller | ||
| CF | triangles. The shapes are in three muted colors, and those of the same | ||
| CF | color do not touch. | ||

| CF | | ||
| CF | Glass jars with a slight bluish tint, most of them containing spices | ||
| CF | and dried herbs. In one, a powder that could be cinnamon by its color, | ||
| CF | in another, dark seven-lobed seeds. You recognize white fennel, though | ||
