"Though much of our storied past hath been relinquished to the sands of time and the grievous cataclysm that rent asunder our cherished isles, it must be declared that Euwlingaard and her denizens remain steadfast, even generations subsequent to the initial strandings of the first quillows in this realm. Few among the populace of Netherdyn have beheld our singular culture, our mode of existence, for they are tethered to the terrestrial expanse beneath, denied the liberty to ascend the heavens as do we. Thus, I find myself both the steward of our lore to our progeny, and a preceptor to those beyond our skies, who seek enlightenment regarding our ways. Within the leaves of this tome, I shall endeavor to record and divulge all that is to be known concerning Euwlingaard, its customs, and its people. And thou, the reader, shalt assume the mantle of my pupil. Shall we embark upon our inaugural lesson?"
