Klaatu, who is not a lawyer, takes a break from the regularly scheduled programme to discuss open licenses and how to read them. shasum -a256=a30cd8db959e8e4caa329c01e428c43b33a41b3f41216814ea527de0ba665b8b

A tour of the enchanted woods and countrysides of the dreamlands realm, around the river Skai, in the Six Kingdoms. Three cities are covered in varying levels of detail: Nir, Ulthar, and Dylath- Leen. One new creature type: the zoogs, with approximate stats. Two gods are briefly mentioned: Azathoth and Nyarlathotep. Priests of Nasht and Kaman-Thah maintain a cavern-temple and a pillar of flamethe, where they offer assistance to travellers on their ways to the dreamland realm. One new potion: moon-tree wine, a zoog delicacy, served in a gourd. The wine is produced from a magical tree that grew from a seed dropped by someone on the moon. Like many wines, it is known to induce intoxication and drowsiness. There is much more to cover, but this is a good introduction to the dreamlands. We will definitely be returning later. shasum -a256=112e25c51553cd09e3887888102f071ce542d83ab5066a97d67f3acbc25f5135
