After the sneeze of Eris, Goddess of Chaos, a group of sentinels soon
discovered curious mushrooms growing in the Black Forest. Vorleth
Le'Yuet was the first to actually eat one of these odd mushrooms. Not
much is actually known what happened next, but he was eventually
discovered wandering around the Western Ithmia Forest in a daze,
babbling about talking animals and a princess needing to be rescued from
a wicked witch in a land called Bopalopia. Word of these "magic
mushrooms" spread across Sapience and soon became quite the popular
delicacy.

Most notable of the mushroom eaters was Entreri, found wandering in
Ashtan gibbering about what a "bad trip" he had after eating mushrooms.
But quickly he found himself back in the Black Forest looking for yet
another experience on a "magic mushroom". After some time, he was again
found wandering in a daze in Ashtan, this time singing strange ditties
and claiming that he rescued the princess and helped her defeat the evil
witch, bringing song back to Bopalopia.

Are these mushroom eaters having some sort of shared hallucination? Or
is there really a magical land called Bopalopia where animals talk and
princesses need rescuing? All one needs to do is to visit the Black
Forest...
