‘It is my dream to make a pilgrimage back to Vania, the drift world that the founders of the Iron Kingdoms came from. It is said to be very much like Ironlode, only more so,’ he laughed. ‘I must see what “more so'' looks like! But I would also like to know what it’s like to live under a sky instead of a dome.’
