In the distant land of Shdustu, a dragon has been seen for the first time in centuries. An expedition is dispatched from the Sanid Empire to find this legendary creature and secure its bounty for the Emperor. Misod, a minor noble with a gift for languages, is chosen as expedition cartographer and chronicler. Joining soldiers, merchants, mystics, and others he records the journey across vast distances and through the realm of alien cultures in pursuit of legend. Trusting only the mysterious sorceress Lady Indili, he must find a way to survive weather, bandits, cultists, monsters, wizards, and ultimately the dragon itself in the hopes of returning home to tell the tale. A slow burn travelogue set in a low-magic fantasy world with a focus on world-building designed to invoke echoes of historical writings such as the Travels of Marco Polo.  The MC has no magical abilities, but is surrounded by those who do and operates in a position of proximity to high-ranking individuals and powerful events.
