A few notes.

I Have made much progress in working hides of late. I need to work a bit more on my needle skill, for I have not had much success in finishing items, but I have become much better at working the hides of dire animals. The one finished piece I have created of late, I took extreme care with, and was rewarded with a very fine belt. Mylindra took one look at it and promptly purchased it, and even made me an enchantment for a new pair of gloves I hope to buy or make soon. Since I have quite a bit of true that I didn't anticipate having before, I am considering placing a bounty on lions, to try and make a bag or two.

Peanut and I went hunting and fishing yesterday, and after catching a few large fish, we decided to explore a bit. Oddly, we didn't come across any of the forest giants that I've seen around that area before (and we stayed well clear of the blue snakes), so we didn't fight or train at all. It was rather nice to be able to relax and just travel a bit, and I enjoy any time I spend with Peanut. While we were there, I finally found the Elemental Monastery: it was truly an awe-inspiring place. It confuses me however, how a temple can be devoted to balance between the elements, but encourage each follower to take a single element, seems to unbalance the individual...
