The dwarf Farli Redboots tired of his work as a tunnel engineer in the caverns of northern Kru and grew restless longing to see the open sky and feel the salty sea breezes on his whiskered face.? He had read the many tales of Mernac?s fine explorers and wanted to live a life of high adventure himself.? So with his family?s riches, but not their blessing, he set off to see the wide world of Mernac.? The tales of the Viklandic hero Lief Lanea-son were Farli?s favourite, so he promised to leave seeing Vikland until the end of his voyages.?http://www.mernac.com/modules/mernac/story.php?id=551
