Venturing from Mount Annum
We had thrived atop Mount Annum. It was the highest peak as far as the eye could see.
Once, we had sprained an ankle on the Foothills of Many Betas in the west. We remembered miserable visits to the Bog of Eternal Driver Approval in the east. Every time, we had quickly returned home.

We landed, as we hoped, on the uncharted Isle of Rapidity. The landing was unexpectedly soft.
We’ve shaken off the dust and gunpowder. We’ve begun to tend our wounds. We’re excited about the upcoming climb.
