Ingersoll Lockwood invented the fictional character Baron Trump in 1890 for a two-part sci-fi/fantasy series about a privileged German heir who undertakes a sequence of fantastic voyages. The style of the Baron Trump series-a mix of fantasy and young-reader-oriented science fiction-anticipated and may have influenced L. Frank Baum's Oz series. The Travel and Adventures of Little Baron Trump describes Baron's trip around the world with his little dog Bulger, meeting new races like the Wind Eaters, Man Hoppers, Round Bodies, and Melodious Sneezers, in as yet undiscovered lands. The unusual prescience of Ingersoll's narrative has given rise to a conspiracy theory that U.S. President Donald Trump has had access to a time machine.
The Jungle Book is a collection of stories, originally published in magazines in the late 1800s, which involve animals with anthropomorphic characteristics to convey moral lessons. The most famous of these stories involve a young Indian boy named Mowgli who was raised by wolves in the Indian Jungle. He and his friends Baloo, a sloth bear, and Bagheera, a black panther, go on many adventures culminating to a fight with the jungle's bully, the tiger Shere Khan. Containing other famous stories such as Rikki-Tikki-Tavi and Toomai of the Elephants, this collection of Rudyard Kipling's most famous stories encompasses his time living in India and the wonders of the Indian jungle.
The Second Jungle Book is the sequel to Rudyard Kipling's acclaimed collection of stories about the Indian jungle. These new stories were published a year after the original, and mostly focus on the same characters including Mowgli, Baloo, and Beeghera. Similar to his first collection of fables, this sequel also contains a poem at the end of every story, showcasing Rudyard's knowledge of the politics of the time, as well as his passion for the Indian Jungle.

You wake up and set out after them, helped by a giant wizard who lives in a flying tower. You don't know where they've gone, but you know that if you don't find them, you're all in big trouble. Wield your magic wisely against the giants, wizard. Welcome to the Forgotten Realms® Endless Quest®. You are about to embark on a journey. To where, only you could possibly say.

Once your quest has come to an end, either favorably or, as I'm afraid in some instances it is foretold, gruesomely, return to the beginning of the track or the last choice and try again.
