A Merchant's Tale

A Merchant's Tale was a book written by Jarn Tiir of Lantan in the late 13 century DR.

All others blunder ever onward, swords at the ready, through many meetings–and each may be the last, for in the wilds only the dragon waits for his meals to walk into him. The wolf, the orc, the gorgon hunt and smile much when they meet dinner. What is more dangerous even than these? Why, any man you meet."
