 The old world was small and it consisted of many pieces. Scorn, Navar,
 Brittany and Santo Dominion were in one large piece. Darcap and the
 Hill Village were in another smaller one. Lake Country was in yet
 another. Pupland was still another. The world was not whole, and the

+=head1 Collection of Strange Glyphs
+
+Many years ago, I got my hands on a book with many strange glyphs, from
+a book-dealer in Darcap. Interested in all kinds of arcance Symbols, I
+bought it despite the rather high price, for the depicted glyphs looked
+intricately detailed and seemed to emanate some deeper meaning.
+
+The only thing the shop keeper could tell me about the book was that it
+was supposed to be a "talansuration book" or something like that, and no,
+he didn't know what that means.
+
+I was unable to find out more about this cult of Talansura, despite
+traveling all over the world for many years.
+
+Since my copy of the book is now in a very bad condition, I decided to
+make a clean copy and publish it, so this knowledge doe snot get lost.
