The Chronicles of The Three Counties: Far away, beyond sea and swamp, desert and perilous mountain range, lies a forgotten and fertile land, the Thre Counties. Here live the Gibblins, and oppressed people held firmly in check by the ruthless dictator Lord Mulciber.

Outwardly compliant, they long for the return of the old ways and in particular for the return of their usurped king, but this can never be unless a legendary gemstone, the Malbigon, is restored to its rightful place, on the cover of the book that bears its name.

some say that the secret of the Malbigon is passed down from generation to generation, and that clues to its whereabouts abound if the seeker is truly acquainted with Gibblin ways. But that, dear traveler, is no easy task. The inhabitants of the Three Counties are not easy to locate, and they have their own customs, alphabet, and calendar, and their own myths and legends.

If you wish to be the one who helps restore the Malbigon, pay heed to Caleb Beldragon's chronicle, learn to decipher the Gibblin tongue, and travel wisely in that faraway, forsaken place.
