Prologue
I haven't been very open with my true feelings. I feel a deep burning hatred for those wretched "unnatural" things! They claw their way from the earth and shamble about, seeking nurishment from the living. This cannot continue! *Drops to the ground and sobs* They killed my sister! Where do they come from.... Why do they come? If only I could have saved her... but I am yet not strong enough. I learned what I could from Va'ladyn, my cousin, but I now must journey to new lands to learn more. Then, when I am strong enough, I will avenge Lathana... *pounds ground with fists* she was so young and innocent! If I find out those "things" were being controlled by someone, I will show them no end of pain... *he rises from the ground, gathers his gear and begins walking south, towards Port Hempstead...*
New Beginnings
I have made it to Port Hempstead. The human city is quite grand. Not as beautiful as the Silverbow treehouse in the forest of Silkwood... Ah, but I must forget about that for a while. My home is here, now.
I have met a new friend today. He is called Taric. He gave me a tour of the city and the sewers... not the most pleasant of locations...
I still feel out of place here, posted a note in the local tavern, looking for companions.
Today my note was answered. She is a pretty human female that is heavy with child. She told me her name was Kinsai. She and a group of her friends, helped me to defeat a band of kobolds that have been causing trouble outside of town. I can't thank her enough for her assistance.
I have traveled to Fort Vehl with a group. They claim there are riches to be had in the local cemetary. Hmmmm. We traveled into the tomb, and what did I behold? Those damnedable creatures that destroy my calm, my most hated of foes! If only these could be the ones that killed my sister, my vengance would be done. But, alas, I fear they are not. These restless undead are controlled only by their need for flesh. The group quickly swept through these unliving creatures and ended the unlife of a mummy that is quite contented to continue to return night after night. I will have to return here and end this for good one day!
Through my journeys I have met many new faces; Luna, a free spirited mage, who wields her power with a child-like charm...*sighs*. Hotaru, an annoying little halfling who seems to travel a path similar to mine. Ah.. he does seem to grow on me though... He has saved my hide more than once, though, I would never let him know that... Besides, he has enough trouble being married to a demented young lass named Cat...
Ah my ink is running dry. I will write again later. My new friend, Taric, is planning an expedition of the area around town. I will write again when I return from this.

The Journey Continues
I do so enjoy the cities, but I have started to feel more and more comfortable outside. I have been making camp in the local woods instead of sleeping at the inns. This feels right to me. I usually spend the mornings fishing and foraging. The fishing relaxes me after a day of exploits.
Speaking of exploits, the mission with Taric went well, that is, untill there was a misunderstanding with one of the scouts, a fellow by the name of Brian. Words were exchanged between Brian and Taric, unfortunately I couldn't stay to see the outcome, pressing business needed attending to.
I have been exploring the landscape and I am impressed. After what I have heard about the Wars... the land seems to be healing back nicely... all except the Hallowlight Forest. I must ask someone what took place there.
Cold from a long journey of delivering packages, I decided to warm myself at the Stormcrest Lodge. I must say that the humor of this land is far from gone. I laughed so hard I thought my sides would split. After a while, we retired to the outside and was regailed with a moving tail of unicorns and magic by Acacae Thistletongue.
Yes, I love the outdoors. Going to curl up next to a fire and listen to the wildlife as I drift off to sleep. Tomorrow is a new adventure...
