Dear Frontier traveller,
Hope you’re keeping safe and managing to survive out here.
And your chances of survival are going to go up if you know how everything *works* around here, which is why there’s a handy guide to the politics of the land.
If you haven’t committed it to memory yet, here it is again.
Also, you should know that not EVERY monster of The Frontier wants to kill you. (Most do. But there’s always exceptions).
Take the Mirgress. This water spirit usually wants an audience because they are vain bastards. Appearing as young, handsome men with pale skin, mirgress are known for playing fiddles and being extremely talented musicians.
They are usually bound to brooks and waterfalls and can be helpful or tricksy depending on their mood. They will also teach humans how to play the fiddle in exchange for a boon.
Stay safe out there,
The author
