Traveling Bard Gilkate

"A special goblin named Ojisk lived in the Goblin tribe in the Kaslow Plains. The others ostracized him because his skin was a different color. His tribe believed he was cursed."

"They tried to get Ojisk to leave the tribe, telling him that he would become chief if he could find the Icon of the Goblin King hidden in the Prairie Cave."

"Ojisk diligently searched every day for the Icon of the Goblin King, hoping to eventually be accepted as part of the tribe."

"A magician called Tilaye lives in the Sprites' Forest."

"After he learned about the mystical power of the spring water in Ancient City of Vines, he schemed to become the most powerful magician in Saphael."

"Tilaye came to the spring and attempted to drink the water. He drank and he drank, but the spring did not empty. He continued to drink until he died."

"Now, Tilaye's ghost lingers here, keeping others away from the spring."

"A meteor crashed into the Kuda Village at the Belcar Highland."

"The outpost station sent a soldier to monitor the village. Each night he heard odd sounds."

"One night, the noise grew louder, so the soldier went to investigate. He found a wandering giant skeleton wearing helm and cloak. Chains around his bony legs caused the frightful noise."

"The soldier, shaking, said, 'Aren't you the chief of Enarkar?' And then there was a horrid scream."

"No humans have been seen in Kuda Village since."

"The Plague Forest has always been a place of sickness. The once harmonious trees there became ugly Wisewoods."

"Between Asalane outpost and Bern lives an old Wisewood named Alf. You could say he has a warped sense of humor."

"Alf loves to tap travelers on the shoulder with his withered branches. When they whip around, they're puzzled to see no one there but silent trees. Alf thinks that's a laugh riot."

"Oh, and he loves to eat cats, so watch your kitties!"

"A spider with hundreds of eyes called Albiete lives in the Whiterock Spider Cave at Misty Wetland."

"One day, Albiete, who took pride in his beautiful eyes, fell in love with a female spider. To impress her, Albiete exposed his rivals' innermost secrets."

"The female spider was disgusted by Albiete's smean-spirited actions. She refused to speak to him."

"Albiete walked to a nearby lake. When he saw his reflection in the clear water, he began to cry, and his beautiful eyes became ugly."

"Augustine is a little soldier at the Blackfire City. He grew tired of the rules and rigorous training, so he decided to run away."

"He tried to run away while he was guarding the outpost. He headed north from Blackfire City in fear of being executed if caught."

"Augustine could not go back to the city nor head to the enemy's Geothermal Inspection Station; therefore, he could only hide under Alechi's claw marks."

"He never thought it would be so hard to survive out there as the demons are much more scary than any of the training drills he's been through."

"Regretfully, Augustine could now only live a life full of fear and remorse."

Once upon a time, a wealthy man lived a life of luxury without satisfaction. One day, he had a sorcerer put a magic enchantment on a chest.

When he opened the chest, expecting to fight a monster or woo a maiden or at least get a handful of mixed nuts, a fake spring-loaded snake popped out at him.

Loving the prank, the man ordered sorcerers to distribute these surprise chests across the land.

Those who come across the chests may get rich by opening them, but some have lost their lives to the perils inside.
