There was a 100 or more that left to pursue your grandparents and a young female elf, but only 18 were said to have returned to Alesia. Yet the emerald stone of air, nor your Grandfather’s bow were ever found. It was never talked about in public, but everyone assumed that all 3 were slain in the search party. I am happy to discover that it seems the child was spared.

Before maps, how did we know the answers to questions like, "How big is this world?" Amazingly, at least a couple of folks knew this answer in terms of camel distance long before many even knew that the world was round.
Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the earth by using the camel distance between Alexandria and Aswan from a special property of Alexandria at a certain time of the year! You can read more about it in chapter 5 of Fifty-Two Factorial (52!). :) |
