”Of the many realms described in this tome, the kingdom (the little information that I have at hand suggests that this is a misnomer) of Belsegallia remains one of the most enigmatic. What rumors and myths have reached me are vague, fantastical, and often contradict each other, though some common themes are present; the most believable of the stories regarding its inhabitants describe them as a cryophilic, harpy-like people (as is suitable for inhabitation of an aerial environment) with a notably high aptitude for all manner of magical arts.—Darius of Reva, Atlas of Realms
