Those readers perhaps a little Jaded by their Civilised Environments, and dreaming of Wild Adventure in Foreign Climes, might well be forgiven for being a little jealous of certain Brave Explorers who have recently engaged on a expedition to the Mainland - all to be documented in the regular publication Frontier’s Horizon.
You may have heard tales of the Mainland or read lurid stories of the loose women and men who inhabit it; as a slightly seasoned traveller myself, I must say that these are gross exaggerations in the main, and most of its inhabitants are perfectly well behaved. It must be said though that one may encounter very peculiar native cultures, some of whom may be a little short-tempered, and I am heartened and flattered that the explorers concerned have purchased Armaments from my humble establishment. Bees, bullets or balls of snow - I take some pride in producing all manner of Devices of Defensive Discouragement for appropriate situations, and hope that they are of Use.

I only wish I could join them myself, but I personally shall be following their endeavours with fingers crossed that none come to any sort of undesired sticky end.
