	<br><br>The most difficult thing to get used to in this new world is the varied abundance of sentient life. On Ispar, there are only humans. We shared the world with animals and plants, but we were the only creatures blessed with true intelligence. This new world is far different. In my time here, I have encountered scores of alien societies. Lugians, Drudges, Banderlings, Ruschk, and even the walking corpses of the undead roam these lands. Most of these races are hostile, choosing to engage in bloody combat rather than civilized discourse when meeting a new race. The Fiun, however, are quite a different breed.		<br><br>The most difficult thing to get used to in this new world is the varied abundance of sentient life. On Ispar, there are only humans.

	<br><br>The Fiun reached forward and gently took the Duke's hand. He then raised that hand and placed it against the ornate robes which covered his own, slender chest. They spoke quietly to one another for several minutes. We could not hear their words; could not even hear their voices for the distance between us and them. But we could see their faces. And what we say was joy.		<br><br>The Fiun reached forward and gently took the Duke's hand. He then raised that hand and placed it against the ornate robes which covered his own, slender chest.

	<br><br>After a long while, the Duke turned to us and said, "Friends of Silyun, do not be afraid." He turned to the Fiun with whom he had just spent so much time talking.

	<br><br>The next several days were the most exciting of my life. We welcomed the five Fiun into our city, showering them with food and gifts, peppering them with questions about their society and origins. Soon after we accepted them thus, five more arrived. Then five more after that. Soon, we were host to more than sixty Fiun. We had never been so close to such alien life before without having to fight them. They found us as fascinating as we found them. They spoke to all of us, not just to the Duke and his daughter. And they demonstrated a startling command of the Roulean language, though their phrasings were a bit stilted. We found them to be most pleasant as well, full of warmth and emotion. Soon after their arrival, we began to forge very real friendships.		<br><br>The next several days were the most exciting of my life.

	<br><br>The Fiun I grew closest to called himself Luhjre. We struck up an immediate friendship and rarely spent any time apart. He was fascinated with my tales of life on Ispar. No matter how often I described the lands of Aluvia, Gharu'n, Roulea, Sho, Milantos, and Silveran, he never grew tired or bored. We stayed awake well into the small hours of the night on many occasions - Luhjre pressing me for more and more details about Ispar, myself answering his questions as openly as possible. He loved the idea of Ispar, and I loved sharing that idea with one who appreciated its beauty as much as I did.		<br><br>The Fiun I grew closest to called himself Luhjre.
