The Journal of One

The writings in this journal span over a period of four years and express One’s experiences in the People’s Republic of Avamar.

I had just arrived at West Sirion, the last remaining state of Sirion. I meet an elf today, multiple elves actually, it was quite exciting as I have never meet one before. He ushered to a small farmhouse on the edge of the city and said that I’d have to live here till the proper accommodations have been arranged…

Later a most famous general came to greet me; I am of course speaking of Lord Sceptre. He said that I should be wary of the peasantry, and report on other nobles if they ‘sound dilute’. I don’t quite know what he means, but I am sure it will become clear to me over time exactly what he is talking about.

Lastly just before nightfall a letter arrived inviting me to a masquerade from one Lalakis Abandonas. I have never heard of this man and am not very interesting in going to his party, but it best to make a good impression, so I will go. It’s weird that the masquerade is in the middle of Limbar’s forest; quite ‘dilute’, no?

There was no masquerade, it was

The masquerade was quite marvellous. I meet a lot of the realm's nobles, most of them were quite pleasant, there was one which wasn't much so as pleasant, these short descriptions shall remind me of who is who, till I can get a better grasp on who the nobles are that serve this realm:

Lalakis, he was of course the one who invited me. Quite a charming fellow, the serving girls just couldn't get enough of him. He explained to me in great detail the history of the Sirion States, which I daresay would fill my journal back to front, and until I can find a market which sell paper, I dare not waste what little space I have to write in. He introduced me to "his friends": Intro, Draco, Loungra, Tzoutzoukos, Pipeta, Julia... there were more but it is hard to remember, I drank a lot, and can't really remember everything.

Intro is what I believe to be the informal formal leader, in this I mean that without doubt this wisdom of how the world works is extremely respected, he doesn't like the attention it brings him though. A very humble individual.

Draco is quite the loud mouth. He didn't even let me introduce myself, as he was suddenly compelled to tell me of how he defeated the last great dragon of the East. As I slowly tried to leave he followed me, luckily Lalakis saw this and asked for my assistance working out a few numbers for the next harvest. I can only hope that in the next battle he's in an 'accident' happens

Loungra and Tzoutzoukos where in deep discussion together all night, and I didn't get to meet speak with them much. They appeared to be talking about 'colours'.

Pipeta and Julia, wow. They were clearly not born in the East, they were extremely out going, and they wear clothing that I dare say turned me on. I think I am going to have to get to know these sisters better.

Tomorrow I go to the empire palace, as is custom, to make my vows of allegiance to the state.
