Salutations, old world!
My name is Eruntalon, and I'm a solitary magus, a scholar of the Hidden Collegium of the Universe, and I spend most of my time searching and analysing obscure forests of words through tomes of dense wisdom forgotten by god and men. Sometimes I wander the desolate and asleep surroundings of my tower, scrying skies, rivers and stones for understanding, or no-understanding, whilst listening to songs lost in the depths of what remains of humanity...

Well, actually my name is Jean, and I'm a Brazilian teacher (langauge and literature teacher) and Eruntalon is a pseudonym I've used in many places around the internet for many different purposes (ok, mostly for RPG purposes).
This is a blog to share my writings, mostly about heavy metal (and all it's subgenres, from the shiniest to the most obscure ones), dungeon synth (same criteria applied), comments on literture originally written in English and probably any thougths that I deem suitable to be written in English. The title for this blog is a play with the material and historical nature of the English language and the nature of my writings: they are insular - not in a "narrow-minded" sense, but in a "detached" or "solitary" sense. Considering that, islanders can allways communicate, they just have to row as they deem fit.
Also I'd like to point out that I maintain another personal blog (in portuguese). I have blogging as hobby and a way of honing the art of writing. I am also pretty convinced right now that blogging, as we used to blog in the tender years of the internet, is a way of getting out of the fetid clusters of modern social media and really start sharing and connecting to people again.
Welcome, mortal, come wander the forests of words and awe with me.
