Here Be Uncharted Territory

A humorous “hero’s journey” for recent grads and anyone leaving home for the first time, guiding them with practical tips and tricks through that strange and fantastical realm that lies beyond the horizon: adulthood.

Being an adult is hard. Whether you’re graduating high school and heading to college or leaving home for the first time after landing a “real” job, you’re stepping into new and unfamiliar territory. One might even say you’re venturing to the farthest edges of your known world, where “there be monsters.” Hence Here Be Uncharted Territory: an epic handbook that will equip and empower you to take on and conquer the monsters and strange mists that so often beset adventurers leaving behind the relative safeties of youth for the unknowns of independence and the open road.

Compiled by an editor from a distant and fantastical realm (but with helpful translation notes for modern Earth inhabitants scribbled in the margins by a wizard who shall not be named), this handy resource will guide you on a quest to successful adulthood, beginning with the early days of leaving home and carrying through to the later stages of finding your village and pursuing a successful trade (i.e. landing a job). The practical advice and instructions include:

• How to Replace Wagon Wheels (also known as tires in some more distant lands)
• The Weekly Washbasin (or How to Do Laundry)

• Choosing Companions (whether Humans, Elves, or Dragons)
• How to Keep Peace with Your Parents (Even If They Breathe Fire)
• Red and Green Signal Fires (Particularly in Relationships)
• and more!

Perfect for fans of The Lord of the Rings, the Wingfeather Saga, The Chronicles of Narnia, or Dungeons & Dragons, this survival guide will allow you to bring your love of fantasy and nerding out with you into adulthood. Because if you have to learn about changing a tire or budgeting your income, why not use dragons or a buried treasure to do it?
