Teeth and Tails

 Hello Friends, Enob Mort here! Travelling Scholar from Zolenberg University.

I have glorious news! Abmiram has opened an animal shelter. She acquired a piece of land west of Zolenberg and we built a barn and fences. She has been caring for all sorts of lost or injured critters. 

The newest shelter addition is Kor-Gi, a fine pup who has been helping out in the absence of Lleb. 

Teeth and Tails 

We care for creatures big and small. 

Volunteers and Donations Welcome!

The animals go on to warm couches or travel far and wide with adventurers. 

If you are in need of a new companion or an activity to fill your days, contact Abmiram at Teeth and Tails.

Stay clean friends,

Marshmallows

Hello Friends, Enob Mort here! Travelling Scholar from Zolenberg University.

My readers have requested a recipe. While I am not a chef nor baker I do know of a sweet camping treat. 

It is called a s'more. The term originated from tiefling travelers who would often ask can I have some more.  Which when contracted became the treats popular name s'more.

To make a s'more you will need the following items:

        Chocolate        Two biscuits        Marshmallow            Fire and roasting stick

Instructions:

1. Place two biscuits close by and set a portion of chocolate on one of the biscuits

2. Skewer the marshmallow on a roasting stick and warm over the fire

3. If your marshmallow catches fire, you have done it wrong. Simply blow on the flaming food, DO NOT wave your stick frantically. You will fling the molten food on your father ruining his shirt and burning his skin. 

4. The correct roasting technique is to warm the marshmallow by the coals until it turns golden brown. Be sure to roast all side for an even melt.

5. Place the melting marshmallow on the biscuit with chocolate. Use the second biscuit to create a sandwich and remove the stick.

6. Let be a moment to allow chocolate to melt. Consume in 2-4 bites.

While chocolate is not a common travelling good, it can be purchased in larger city centres. Marshmallow on the other hand is a difficult find. 

Marshmallows take their name from the flower Althaea officinalis. A small white flower that grows on the banks of marshes. It's botanical name means to heal though it is most commonly referred to as marsh-mallow.  The fluffy white cylinder we know today is created by boiling the root pulp and whipping it into a sugary pillow. 

It is no secret that tiefling scholars have recreated the marshmallow using more commonly available resources. I have on occasion asked local bakeries to import this new creation as it is shockingly more cost effective than making them with my current knowledge. 

Light of my Life

Hello Friends, Enob Mort here! Travelling Scholar from Zolanberg University.

It has become common knowledge that my exploits took to me a great many places. Yet my heart remained in Zolanberg. My dearest wife and children truly are the light of my life. It was for them I took up adventuring and their guiding light that brought me back home.

Such a fantastic thing light is. A fickle friend to measure, acting as waves in a pond or as little pebbles thrown through the air. I have prided myself on seeing the vastness of the world, the minutia of its microcosm's. Through my writing I have taken readers on adventures of knowledge.

Today let us explore the science of spear fishing. In my youth my family took a vacation to visit the gnomes in The Khraal. At first I was horrendous. Every spear pierced the water above the fish I aimed for. Then it was explained to me that the water bends the light and I must aim below my target.

Having much improved at the art, I returned home and begged my mother to bring me to work with her. Mother worked at the great library, and I was determined to find a book that could help me calculate the perfect trajectory. 

I read a book by Snell who studied how light bends when it passes into a different medium. 

As I expected the angle was important and the measure of how fast light moves through the medium. Turns out light moves slower through water than air, which causes it to bend and fool our eyes.

Over the years I have investigated this phenomenon and learned that almost all peoples in Eberron's history have used this knowledge. It is only the Human race that squabbles over who discovered this phenomenon, ignoring the oral traditions of generations past. 

Perhaps I shall write another book titled the Laws of Refraction that celebrates the knowledge and traditions of non-human races.
