Synopsis
Aravan, captain of the Elven ship Eroean, sets out to find a legendary lost city carved from jade, a myth that has drawn many people across Mithgar. With him sail Aylis, the Magekind Seeress who is his true love, and a mixed crew of Men and Dwarves. The voyage is a quest driven by the pull of the legend, and it takes the ship and its crew far across the seas of Mithgar in search of a city that many have sought and few claim to have seen.
