The Fryrvst is a quest, an ancient tradition, offered to all gnome scholars that have reached mature age. The purpose of the Fryrvst is to acquire new knowledge that will add to the splendor of the Grand Frimblir Library. The Fryrvst can be rejected but never abandoned and a failure is passed on to the next generation. This map is my Fryrvst, a tribute to the legacy of my ancestors. It is the fulfillment of our oath: "Receive to learn, learn to give, give to advance the gnome race." I set out with a quill and a parchment, intent to learn more about the world around us. I have seen the breaking waves of Ocean Perennity and the mountain peaks encompassing the dwarven city of Borwin. I have tasted the exotic sea snake fillets of Emerald Bay and the wonderful halfling pastries on Mervin Hills. I have conversed with elves at the border of A'lure and I have beheld a fierce Ograkk orc tribe from the north. The trolls of Sarmoor indeed smell like sulfur and their bellies rumble constantly (as stated in a gnome lullaby). My travels lead me to Tildruin, on Druinbar Hill. The last Tilkhurg Giant lies beneath its streets! The gnome colony is small in comparison to other races, but I am sure more will arrive when they realize the potential. I have spent five years learning new languages and collecting works of art and literature. This map is the result of my work and my Fryrvst is complete. Throughout my travels I have seen so much, but nothing compares to Frimblir. Githri Gwindibopple, Cartographer and Scholar
