Encyclopedia entry

Ebenezum walked before me along the closest thing we could find to a path in these overgrown woods.  Every few paces he would pause, so that I, burdened with a pack stuffed with arcane and heavy paraphernalia, could catch up with his wizardly strides.  He, as usual, carried nothing, preferring, as he often said, to keep his hands free for quick conjuring and his mind free for the thoughts of a mage.
