Today we will tell you one of the Tales of ลLand ๐Ÿ“–. Listen... In the vast expanses of ลLand ๐Ÿก there are many tales about wonderful creatures, unprecedented animals ๐Ÿฆ„ and even entire populations living somewhere among dense forests or high mountains ๐Ÿ”๏ธ. Unfortunately, ...

๐Ÿ“ Day โ„– 43: May 23, 1823. โณ18:46 After about twelve hours on the horizon we saw a small island where we hoped to find clean water and maybe some edible vegetation. The jerky that the grateful villagers had supplied us with was not endless and we needed to replenish our supplies... After reaching a safe distance to the island so as not to run aground, we decided to transfer to our boat. We loaded up the empty barrels, empty bags and didn't forget our stowaway, a resident of the swamps he...

๐Ÿ“–Bestiary notes: ๐Ÿงœโ€โ™‚๏ธ Marmals
Marmals are a race of creatures that live underwater. They came from mermaids as a result of their connection with people and thus formed a separate half-blood race. They were outcasts of their ancestors and were bullied and persecuted. Therefore, we decided to separate and live independently. Structure: They have underdeveloped gills and lungs like humans. Gills do not allow them to fully and permanently exist under water. Instead they periodically float to replenish the lungs with oxygen. W...

โณ18:55 We finally continued on to the main destination โ›ช๏ธ. We expect to get there by evening, maybe even sooner. The mood on the ship is dismal ๐Ÿ˜•. The long days of psychological pressure and now the wounds were a constant reminder. We changed our bandages often and kept an eye on every wound ๐Ÿค•. We didn't want to lose a leg or an arm because of some stupid negligence. Everyone wanted to be back in action as soon as possible and to forget about these unnecessary problems ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ...
