So tell us, what brings you to this backwater node of the Far-Woven Strand? Seek you glory? Treasure? Fame?
     Are you merely a lone Strand-jumper questing for a rich vein of glisterium? Or do you travel with four colleagues on an arcane assignment for the Royal Coven?
     Indeed, you might well be one of the fabled Strand-Striders, in disguise and on a mission to preserve the very integrity of the Ephemeral Veil!

     Oh sure, we've all sipped our coffee as we listened to the stories told by raggedy void-venturers, of how they glimpsed bizarre wings flapping against the Ephemera, or spoke in whispers about the ravenous things that crawl the Strands. Such tales are commonplace, of course, but are they true? Who knows...do you?
