-By_The_Book_Description.
+Beings of [[Ib]] are a greenish, forlorn, and pitiful fishy folk which descended mysteriously one night, together with their stone city and lake, into the [[Dreamlands|Dreamland]] of [[Mnar]].  These beings were worshipers of the water-lizard [[Bokrug]], were rumored to have descended from the Moon, and were ultimately murdered by the human folk of [[Sarnath]], only to rise up as [[Ghost]]s to bring a terrible doom upon Sarnath.  These folk are now all but extinct in Mnar, though some may have escaped into other Dreamlands.
