Entry 1

I fought in my first tourney today! Itorunt hosted a grand event, there were thirty competitors in total, and what ferocious fights there were. I was lucky enough to get in early and set up spaces for my fellow Perdanians. I won my first bout in the melee, by luck I suspect, as my opponent a Knight from Eponllyn was more akin to a terrible beast than a man, but I struck a lucky blow to his knee which lost him the bout, but then was absolutely demolished by the fair Duke Fontaine in the second round. Not too bad though, considering the things I have heard of him and his adventures on those northron seas.

I ended up competing again against that Eponllynian knight in the joust, and he unseated me in the first blow, and as disappointed as I was with it all I am quite glad my horse suffered no injuries, as some of the other knights in the tourney faced with their mounts.

Sleeping in my own bed again, or at least in my manor, will bring no end of satisfaction to me after so many long days of travel.

Entry 2

My first encounter with the supernatural beyond the undead occurred today. As my forces married up with Earl Joreb, a slavering werewolf charged our camp, driven to an insane bloodlust by something beyond our understanding. The archers cut it down in a hail of arrows. I inspected the corpse of the creature before it was incinerated and it looked as if nothing could come back from such grevious wounds, but I have heard the stories as every young Perdanese, that burning is one of the few ways to see the true end of a werewolf.
