It has been a long time since I last entered these hallowed halls, well, calling two years a long time is a stretch, but it seems it to me. Attempts at writing AARs and myself have a short, and rather bitter history. "From the Fields of Tuscany", started with the hope of one newly discovering this forum, lasted an entire four days, and didn't even make it out of 1836. "Declaro Que Mi Amor a Centroamérica" did little better. The playthrough actually went rather well, stretching into the late 19th Century, but the writing failed to keep up. I've already slapped back over seven thousand words on this one, and with a government-enforced lockdown in place I'll have plenty of motivation to pump out some more.
It would have been interesting to have written this AAR in the style of Paul Du Chaillu; whose work, the name of which is borrowed for this piece, was one of the few that I could acquire with any depth on the subject at hand. Perhaps, when we reach the moment of his writing, I could indulge in some imitation, although to do so might stretch my capabilities beyond their limits. Rather, these updates shall be shortish, perhaps lacking in the intricate details whilst we remain an autocracy, mostly due to the limitations of my research (both in resources and motivation) but in part also a result of my own lackluster efforts.
Now, I've provided more extensive a preamble than ever necessary. With time, this shall grow into a table of contents, and provide a starting point for navigating your way through this tale. Now, let us bring you into the port of Göteborg, and from there, a train to Stockholm, from whence we shall take you through a brief history of the Land of the Midnight Sun.
