− | '''Porteek''' /pɑr'tiː/ was a notable traveler and historian who lived in Tarnaria in 1-2 [[dantrian_calendar|CSR]]. Known for his analytical style of writing, he authored three volumes of "The Movers of our Previous Generation", a historical treatise of Tarnaria, focusing on the histories of [[Asdoh]], [[Toor]], [[Empire of Barud]] and [[Yammoe]] at the end of the first revolution. The book contains a wealth of data about his contemporaries, but he regards that information to be meaningful only if given historical context. He also proceeds to provide commentary on the culture of various nations. | + | '''Porteek''' /pɑr'tiː/ was a notable traveler and historian who lived in Tarnaria in 1-2 [[dantrian_calendar|CSR]].

| As a traveler, Porteek visited as far south as Yammoe. He has sections in volume II, dedicated to [[Gantolia]], but it is not clear whether he has ever been there. Due to his extensive travels, intimate acquaintance with various cultures and proficiency in several forms of [[bukk|asdoh]], it is not exactly clear where he was born, but it is generally assumed that he was from somewhere in Asdoh. The spelling of his last name, as well as his ability to travel, gives away his noble background: he was clearly a wealthy individual. | | As a traveler, Porteek visited as far south as Yammoe.
