Baird y Idris
Overview
Baird y Idris was the last Shepherd of The Sunset Tribe, one of the Eight Tribes during The Great Wandering. He maintained a detailed logbook recording navigational information and the location of the City of Scholars.
Logbook
Baird y Idris kept a logbook religiously noting azimuths, coordinates, and the location of the City of Scholars every day. The document survived as old parchment with faded ink, preserved in a cylindrical case made of metal and leather.
His annals describe the City of Scholars as an underground metropolis beneath a tall mountain, sheltered from The Tumult currents. The city served as a stopover for western Tumult Nomads traveling toward Asgartha. Baird y Idris proposed that the city was a nerve center of the World Before, and that surrounding mountains surged over it under pressure of The Tumult, trapping the population in stone.
