About Kjeldoran borders:

  • "No one in her right mind would venture off the coast of Kjeldor during this season." (Monsoon)
  • "This was quite possibly the least pleasant occurrence on the entire expedition." (Hurricane)
  • "Two of my Warriors found that the creature was dangerous not only in combat, but also in simple proximity." (Kjeldoran Frostbeast)

About the Yavimaya forest and river:

  • "We learned this at a dear price: once you cross the great river, get through the Yavimaya forest at top speed." (Gorilla Pack)

About the Adarkar wastes:

  • "We encountered the sentinels in the wastes, near no living thing. Their purpose was inscrutable." (Adarkar Sentinel)
  • "The creature we fought in the western waste was doubly dangerous: mortally wounded, it rebounded and attacked again." (Hoar Shade)
  • "We could see the horizon blacken with the great beasts, but it was too late. The icefield offered no immediate safety, but luckily most of us reached a crevasse in which we could take cover." (Stampede)
  • "The drawing of maps is fruitless in the west near the ice walls; the very earth is formless." (Illusionary Terrain)

About the ice wall and the shaman:

  • "We are farther west than any could have imagined possible, but I still wish to press on. Unfortunately, huge walls of ice block further travel. We can't believe they are natural." (Glacial Wall)
  • "As we followed the ice wall, we had the distinct feeling of being watched. Many of the party wanted to turn back." (Clairvoyance)
  • "We could feel the Shaman's power, as surely as we felt the storm." (Illusionary Presence)

About various facts and creatures:

  • "They're a hardy bunch, but I'd still bet that they just slept through the worst of the cold times." (Balduvian Bears)
  • "Although my official log will state there is no evidence pointing to the existence of the Mistfolk, my certainty is lessened by the cursed consistency of the expedition's eyewitness accounts." (Mistfolk)
  • "Mammoths may be good to ride on, but they're certainly bad to fall off of!" (Woolly Mammoths)
  • "So large and so quiet: a combination best avoided." (Giant Trap Door Spider)
  • "They aren't the brightest or the quickest of giants. For that matter, the same holds true if you compare them to rocks." (Karplusan Giant)
  • "The Titans claimed to draw strength from the rocks, but I suspect them of some darker allegiance." (Mountain Titan)
  • "The Dryads told us to stay, as no new horrors would come when it was so cold. Three of us left anyway. The rest believed their lies, and their skeletons weren't found until the thaw." (Rime Dryad)

About the end of the journey:

  • "The pass was completely blocked by the avalanche; we're forced to turn back. Nevertheless, we've gone farther and seen more than any before us." (Avalanche)
