Contents of Book[]

During the Old Kingdom, people fled the hatred, the pain within Albion in their masses. Boats sped from the shores in every direction. And one group of emigrants pitched up in paradise. Warm seas, palm trees and coral sands beckoned. And the inhabitants welcomed the visitors with food, comfort and grace. But the people of Albion had headcolds and when they passed these onto the islanders, almost all of them died. And the Albion Settlers, not knowing how to farm the weird fruits, catch fish or hunt the wild pigs and chickens, died too. But the few islanders who survived buried the dead and rebuilt their paradise. With new, impenetrable beach defences.

Book Collection[]

When giving the book to the Teacher, Mr. Gout, he will say the following:

"'Twas in the latter days of the Kingdom Old, that a boatload of travellers, wheat and rice,
fleeing our land for fear of the Sword, discovered an island that was true paradise.
There were they welcomed by the native folk, with gifts of fruit and fowl and pig and trout,
and a strange kind of ale brewed from egg yolk, that the refugees drank 'til it knocked them out.
Soon they were stirred from their peaceful slumbers, by the splattery coughs of their gracious hosts,
who had taken ill and were dying in numbers, of colds their visitors had brought to their coasts.
Ere long the kindly natives were all but extinct, and as they knew not how to gather nature's bounty,
the fate of the foreigners to theirs was linked - they died of startvation, though surrounded by plenty.
A few local survivors did their paradise rebuild, errecting this time a great fortress in the sand,
it would stop them once more getting killed, lest those bast... er... bad people from Albion return to their land."

Trivia[]

  • The "Sword" which it is referred to in the book is most likely referring to the Sword of Aeons.
  • It's possible that the book could be talking about the origin of Aurora and its giant sand fortresses.
