Journal of Amimi

My name is Amimi. These are my storys of my tour in Sirion- a day by day accounting of anything important.

Day before Tour

I stopped through into Commonyr the day before. Though I wasn't exactly welcome with open arms upon arrival, lady Araia gave me a warm welcome. After our conversations and an explanation, she reccomended I contacted Darfix on my interests in the Sirionite Musket. After idle chit-chat, we confirmed eachother trustworthy enough to meet in person. I brought one of my Arbalests. I shall describe one here. They were like the Ubentian ballistae, but instead fired twenty normal arrows, in a pattern of two rows high and ten across, instead of one large projectile. It's like a box on wheels, and the bowstring is held back by a switch. To lower the switch, you pull on a knob outside the device. This launchs all the arrows at once. It can be fired forward, or forced to fire upward by wooden planks. So far, these have seen use in my unit only. Next, the Sirionite musket will be described. It was mounted on a tripod of sorts- like that used for an artists painting. Once mounted onto this, it could fire, though without much accuracy. In a comparison based on looks, Darfix mentioned how the Arbalest seemed more practical, and powerful. During this, Adrian seemed to have a paranoia of me, requiring my weapon, a sickle at the end of a 20 foot chain, be kept by my scribe, whom by now was nearly unconcious. His paranoia stemmed, apparently, from the distrust of Oligarchians, and from their problems with the weapon. I've left it in their care- after all, making more will not be difficult. Tommorow, I will be on my way to the tour. Lets hope suspicion and paranoia does not turn on me.

Day One and Two

I move out to Sermbar in order to fight the monsters. We defeated them, with aid from local militia and passerbys, but unfortunately, just after an infiltrator got to me. This will likely put things on hold... seems suspicion and paranoia hit me hard. My soldiers stay by my side, fighting off monsters. I'm feeling better- the wounds are not so serious now. I should be up and about soon enough- then I shall continue my tour. And, possibly, find out who attacked me.

Day Four

Well, I've recovered fully. Nice way to start a tour. "Hello, I'm here to meet you." Next thing I know, I come to fight monsters and I get stabbed. Amusing, I guess. Now that all of Sirion knows of it, however, it should be a bit easier. Of course, when I came back, I immediately was questioned by kid. After explaining it all, and having Araia do the same, I had a highly minor conflict with Handow and a few others. I personally beleive that he isn't using his mind to it's fullest potential- though I cannot guage this myself. With unexpected help from Doc, I received what I was to do. First, I will march with the army against my sister and her realm. I will observe how Sirionite's fight and act on the field. If this all turns out right, I might end up moving to another continent. Will my journey's continue here, for Sirion, or somewhere else? Or will I go to Oligarch again? We shall see.
