Threas, Mar 19, 1426
I'm on Voltrex! Totally confused and lost, but I'm here. We're supposed to somehow keep the elves from dividing their nation into little kingdoms. How? The other thing we want to do is to encourage them to rebuild the Wild Elven city of Ovdear--There's a rumor that its magic has T'oleflor origin. How I'll ever learn my way around even Sadinia, I don't know. I can't speak the language at all, so I'd better start learning fast. Maybe Rain will help me.
Let's see. So far I'm pretty sure of:
la'an - next
Ilwelalanymam illw Lanyirecilm - Adventurer and Scholar
Celailva - lineage
Tymealaanalala eo Silveny -Priestess of Lucinda
Tymenyaaw - Proceed
Irilco-fmaaw - Half-breed
Maseela anira iracsaan - remove your(?) helm
Amacnyesa - welcome
My companions are:
Acacea Thistletounge, Alantha T'sarran, Alleina Shiante, Angela Swann, Argali Trueaxe, Arynne Liadon, Fenrir Thornaxe, Hardragh, Huntemara In'Darsus, Jacchri Abianca, Jaigan Drakand, Jennara Creekskipper, Kali, Kobal Bluntaxe, Krysthalien, Pyyran, Rain Darsus, Steel, Storold Doesscha, Travie, Triba Gues
Things I need to remember:
The Niasa is a council of elves.
There's a tower for each element (Earth, Wind, Fire, Water?) and the tower of Nature, and each tower is led by a Speaker.
The tower of Nature is the central force, and unofficially, its leader (a druid) is the true leader of Voltrex.
High elves: 14 total votes in Niasa, but divided; most live in Sadinia; House Aleanthylar (oldest) faction, led by Kerreth, has 5 votes, follows Aeridin; House Freanywyn (almost as old), led by Serodal Freanywyn, has 5 votes, follows Ilsare; House Mearnghym of Selrina (somewhat into the continent), led by Olarnar Mearnghym, has 4 votes, very conservative, consult and follow Speakers,
Mountain elves: 5 votes in Niasa; leader is Enelthean Allianthir; live in long mountain range in west; main city near Tower of Earth; follow Aeridin and Ilsare, but have many spellweavers who follow Lucinda; Enelthean is old wizard
Wild elves: 6 votes in Niasa; leading house Freanidarn (wants Ovdear); settlement near Ovdear ruins (northeast); others near Lake Jur'tha in Tir-Saique (southeast, plains and isolated forests); many tattoos, minimal clothing
Wood elves: 5 votes in Niasa; leading houses Thoridadian and Whorilian; guides and tenders of most of Voltrex's forests; settlements are in Amorbar, in Ulan forest (center of continent)

I heard Acacea telling Kobal a couple of phrases to use. Oilem amelwla or 'blessed wind' can be used as a greeting or farewell. Anira cailo willnyala amirama anira amelw ameccla translates to 'that's life' when bad things happen. Don't think I'd use that one--too hard to remember. It's really scary not to understand what folks around you are saying.
