The Wonderful and Strange: A Record of the Peoples of the WorldAs Observed and Eloquently Detailed by the Most EsteemedMarcurio Saphirius, Grand Curator of Ethnological Studies

"My dear reader, prepare yourself for an unparalleled journey into the farthest, most uncivilized corners of our world! Within these pages, I, the esteemed and well-traveled Lord Marcurio Saphirius, have cataloged the strange, the wretched, and the bizarre peoples who, for reasons beyond comprehension, still draw breath in Onorus’s divine creation."

"From the wretched bone-clad warlords of the Garuhm to the insidious insectoid schemers of Yth, I have seen firsthand the barbaric customs, appalling diets, and crude gods that these lesser creatures kneel before. I have braved the frozen wastes of Moravyr, where beast-taming brutes claim divine insight, and I have witnessed the degenerate ways of the desert tribes that infest Ryvakar. And, of course, I have returned, triumphant and unscathed, to tell you of it all—so that you, dear reader, may learn of these lesser beings from the safety and superiority of our great Onorion civilization!"

"This text, a scholarly triumph, shall serve as both an illuminating compendium for the educated mind and a warning to those who would dare think the peoples beyond Onoria to be anything but inferior. Read on, and let my wisdom cleanse your ignorance, as I unveil the truth of this strange and pitiful world!"
