Journal Entry Twenty Four
"Kindred"
It has been bothering me... I meet one of my kind upon the surface, near Hlint... He possessed the keen arrogance of that common to the Deep, but more subtle. He seemed to be a skilled rogue, hiding in plain sight, with the threatening demeanor of a mad-man with a purpose. He offered coin for information on a man, a
Paladin, named Aeronn. I didn't recognize the name, but the coin would be of good use. just as I was going to attempt getting information out of him, and feed him a lie for the coin, Something happened... I found my self in the middle of the fields by the rest area, and everyone was gone... It eats at my conscious. I know that Ayana's uncle,The Shining Hand of Toran, had been captured, and I couldn't help but to feel that the two are related... I promised her I would help, should I find out any information about him. I can't say I like the Idea of even working with Toranites, but It is for a person whom I trust, one of the very few. Maybe meeting this man, even helping him might get my name cleared with the church, and possibly give me some freedom in my travels to pass through the cities usually barred to me. I don't like the Idea of this, and it rubs against my "moral" fibers, but I am going to do it... Regardless. I can't believe I'm doing this...
