Graylox
Gnome Royal Cartographer for Queen Gimnax two thousand years ago. He found himself lost in the Forgotten Forest early in his travels.
We’ve been traveling in circles for weeks. The villagers warned there is deep magic at work in these woods but, like a fool, I ignored them. The trees, the stones, even the rivers seem to move when we are not looking. When we pass a “new” landmark, I often comment that I cannot remember whether or not I have seen it before. My companions have taken to calling this place “the forgotten forest,” a joke meant, no doubt, at my expense. I only hope that whatever secrets these woods hold will, in the end, make our efforts worthwhile. - Expedition to the Northeastern Sector C11
Graylox takes great pride in the accuracy of his maps. He is, however, willing to compromise from time to time, as long as the core geography remains complete.
“I’m sorry, but we need accurate maps. Like it or not, caravans pass through your lands all the time. It’s important that travelers don’t lose their way.” - Graylox - Explorer's Guide (GS-Guide-ADV2-2)
“We could omit certain details on our maps as long as the core geography was unchanged.” - Graylox - Explorer's Guide (GS-Guide-ADV2-22)
