Photo is a block of text taken from the book "A Tchao In Ilimak".
It reads:
Chapter 1
East of the Ria
Limash sat on the eastern border of Brachao. It was surrounded almost completely by mountains, forests, or ocean; protected from all sides against any who would try to invade. Protected also, one might think, from any who would try to escape.
The Ria Mountains, which served as the border between the two nations, were tall, rocky, sharp, and dangerous to travel in summer heat, winter snow, or spring and autumn rains. The best way to traverse these fearsome peaks would be through the havens and tunnels, carved lifetimes ago by the Usara Bash of Limash and the easternmost Tchao of Brachao. These safe-ways were once a joint project, meant to serve as a long-withstanding testament to the friendship of Tchao and Bash, like the Usara themselves: an entire tribe, though technically more Bash than Tchao, born of families from both sides of the mountains.
But that was long ago. Now, with the Bash distracted by wars, and the Tchao afraid of the harsh punishments given to those who displease the Eldest Katalo, their once strong friendship was fading like an old memory. The relationship between them, once bright as an evening fire, was now dim as morning embers.
Photo is a temporary book cover. It shows a cut-down tree trunk with a small green twig rising from the dead trunk. White text reads "A Tchao in Ilimak, a story of Dainu, by JG Duke".
