By Jeff Echevarria

Meet Quilrahne Tuhl, a Master of Arcane Magic and a recent student of Theology and the art of Divine Magic; he is known to many far and wide as Quilrahne the Seeker. And Osferth, his cohort, his confidant, his brother, if you will. And yes, he is a Capuchin monkey. The two have formed such a bond that they can communicate telepathically. The two are never seen apart, together on every misadventure.

The two also belong to the Brotherhood of Three, established and hand-picked by King Rion. With one goal, one objective, to seek out and find holy relics throughout the lands, which were outlawed and destroyed at the time of the Silver Clouds to become known as Ash Wednesday, some say a thousand years ago.

We find our two companions searching for holy relics and taking refuge from the oppressive and deadly southern midday heat in the ruins of an old village in what was once called Death Valley before Ash Wednesday, now known as the Valley of the Shadow. Much to both of their delight, Osterth finds a treasure of sorts, a tattered book buried in the rubble. Quilrahne carefully wipes off the dust and grime of the ages with his rough and cracked hands to reveal the cover. It seems the two have found a real treasure indeed: The Jungle Book…
