Greetings, adventurers. I am Haldemar of house Haaken, the ruling elite of the kingdom of Ar. We are known for our skyships, but undoubtedly the greatest of them is the mighty, graceful, beautiful Princess Ark. My personal ship.

I have seen many lands and traveled both across, outside and even inside the world, from the Savage Coast to the southern continent, all the way to the hidden moon of Myoshima and the mysterious, ancient Hollow World. I have met many people and fought many monsters, and now, you can too.

Adventure awaits, heroic ones. So grab your copy of Haldemar's Handy Handbook of Heroism, and go forth to adventure!
