| | Wonderland - Foreword |
 | | In ancient times, when the world was young and magic thrived, Ariel was a forest nymph, a seductive elfin creature who kept to her woods and streams, occasionally ensnaring mortal men and women for her own pleasures. |
 | | Eventually, it was this fascination with humans which led Ariel out into the wider world, and over the course of millennia, she gradually evolved beyond her fey origins to become a wandering bard, a fearless explorer, and a knight of the Sidhe-dominated Fae courts. |
 | | Yet it's also a world of strange, dark beauty, where miracles and magic are always there to be discovered in the dust, and where the courtly elegance of bygone ages lives on with solemn grace. |
