Leaving the island | |||
We passed by the lawless province of Lugagun, and don't stop. The trip goes well. Shortly we will passing the Bol-Gun Bridge bridge. | |||

The Midland Woods | |||
After leaving Celtiberia behind, we head up to a forest up north, called the Rettlewood according to the sign stones. The stone paved road is in good shape, but wines and trees have grow to near of the road, and now it is blocked by its branches in some places, making it difficult to pass. Also, a numbers of small hills make the road a little difficult sometimes.
Shortly before sunset, we cross paths with a crafter in a cart. His name was Creoric, a metalworker from a small forest village named Twainville, in the west woods, and was heading to another village named Rettleville, in the east part of the woods, in his bi-monthly selling travel. He gave me a good deal of information about the forest, that is huge according to him, and full of dangers further north, but little of the history of the place. | |||

The forest village | |||
After a long travel trough this jungle, we finally reached Twainville. It is a small wooden town, surrounded by a makeshift wooden wall. Its inhabitants are mainly hunters and woodcutters, with some crafters and farmers in the fields surrounding the clear. Theirs is a hard life, constantly defending their home against marauding beasts and humanoids that lives in the forest. Only one stone building remains in its feets, what apparently was a governmental building in a distant past according to the people. We resupply here and headed north-east, to Paisly. | |||

Into the green and death fields of Larur | |||
We cross the ravine, a few hours later retook the road, and enter Larur, what appeared to be a rural region. Its green fields now grow grass, but the earth seems to be very fertile, and the ocean winds bring enough water to the land.
But not anything is fertile, or alive, in Larur. In the ruins of a small town we cross path with a small scout party of skeletons, lead by what looked like a skeleton is a very antique full plate, like in Celtiberia. While my men deal with the minor undead, i face the creature, and after a hard fight returned it to its natural state, death. Its sword and armor were of very good craftsmanship, and took them as a spoil of war. We crossed the region under the cover of darkness, and there were signs of the presence of a much bigger undead unit in the zone. | |||

The beautiful city of Chesney | |||
We left Larur behind us and cross to Chesland, a nice, but ruined again, townsland surrounding a beatiful small city named Chesney. It walls were ruined, a common characteristic to this land, and a great part of its building were also ruined, but i found no "supernatural" sign or track in the zone. Its seems the city was spared the wall-melting fire of Paisly.
We contact the locals, and bought some food and supplies from them. Shortly, a sudden storm came form the east, from the ocean, and me and my men found refuge in a mostly intact noble house, or what was left of it. The most interesting finding was a half-wormeaten book, a kind of journal like mine, but written in a more delicate variant of the runes used in the road signs. It will take me some time to translate it, but with Lucas help i am sure i will have it complete in a few days, if the book don't disintegrate first. | |||

Crossing the river, into the North | |||
A few days after i left Chesland and the city of Chesney, we crossed and old and still firm stone bridge, into the lands north of the know territory. The lands ahead of us, a ondulating grassland, are called Gretchew. The few inhabitants of the region, families of farmers trying to get its food from this fertile lands while they defend from monsters raids, tell me of a city in the hills north of here.
With Lucas help i keep translating the book found in Chesney, but the dialect used on it its of a much more refined kind than the one used on the mark stones in the road. It will take me some more time. | |||

Arriving to the Chateu | |||
In the hills north of Gretchew we found the city of Saffalore, or Chateu Saffalore like the locals call it. Its a very active small city, mainly occupied in trading with the sourronding regions. A very old men told me that the city`s name is in honor to Lord Saffalore, a noble of old time who owned the lands, and after some kihnd of disaster, sheltered the commoners in his lands. The last of his line died some 5 years ago, according to the old men. | |||

A little of ancient history | |||
After a few days of travels we arrived to Shokalom, a small city north-west of Chateu Saffalore. The lands betewn these two cities are full of undead and monster, but we evaded them with minimal problem.
Shortly after arriving the city, i have a meeting with one of the elders of the city, a very frail and old women. She told me that when she was a chield, Shokalom was part of a realm that streched from there to an ocean in the west. Apparently, a catastopher, posible the one i have find clues, destroyed this realm. She remembers that the old Duke of Shokalom usually visited two cities in the west, past a forest. And according to her, one of these cities was the lost realm capitol. After resuppling we departed the city, happy with the good news and the little fragmentof history we recover. | |||
- Baldur Mekorig,05/04/1008 |
Into the unexplored west | |||
We left Shokalom and entered a huge rural region called Vassar, full of sign of monsters activity. After a long travel we found a forest on Vassar´s frontier, a dark and silent forest. After entering it we faced some forest goblins. I dont think these vermin are alone here, but i suspect that are part of a bigger army. These forest will need to be clared of these vermin in the future.
On happier news, i contacted again with Sir Milmice, the Madinian explorer of the north. He sent me a copy of his map, and some advices and contacts in the north. I am very thankful to him, and i will send him a copy of my discoveries. | |||
