History
The Caravaneer was written by the halfling Deron Nowherian. Nowherian was one of the founding members of the caravan who joined after he was kicked out of his hometown. His poem was misinterpreted as suggesting that the queen enjoyed spending nights with kangaroos which Nowherian would claim wasn't the intention at all for as long as he lived. Kiln Rimson's adventures were an amalgamation of several stories that Deron Nowherian collected over his time with the caravan.
