Contents of Book[]
Ralf was a hero who fought bravely and well. But his face showed the scars of battle and frankly, no woman would look at him. In his despair, he robbed the ancient trader barons of Greatwood and bought a house and a pile of presents to give out. Women fell at his feet and eventually he chose a gorgeous one to marry. But too late, he realized that the type of female who is impressed by gifts and houses is too shallow to make a good bride. So Ralf decapitated her and waved her lovely head about in triumph. And the phrase 'Trophy Wife' was born.

When giving the book to the Teacher, Mr. Gout, he will say the following:
"The way of the warrior doth take its toll on a Hero's face, and 'ere long women will fly and escape before he can give chase.
Scarred and dejected, a Hero named Ralf stole all of the trader's riches. He made use of their gold and bought romantic gifts for all of the... er... ladies.
The women of Albion fell at his feet and Ralf had the pick of the town, till he finally chose a pretty young girl and bought her a fine wedding gown.
But too late did he see that love this is true isn't founded on wealth, his wife's only care was for money and gems he kept up on the shelf.
By way of divorce Ralf exercised his axe on her head, this he did mount up on the wall, just over the bed.
So did the woman sadly become the world's first trophy wife, and Ralf did give up the matrimonial for the Hero's life."
