Having been stymied in my efforts at research this past week and exhausted in my labor, it was refreshing, if briefly terrifying to be granted a reprieve today. A representative of the Prince here in Ulek has requested I participate in a small public service which shall require me to travel in mixed company. We will travel to a hamlet called Prinzfeld to learn what might have delayed their delegate to the regional council meeting being held here in Havenhill. While I suspect monsters, I cannot discount the mundane possibilities of illness, drunkenness, highwaymen or the like being responsible for the delay.
We are to be led by a young fay-woman named Shayla who knows the ground we are to cover. I have found a pre-hateful war map and some notes about the conflict amongst the texts I have been transcribing and made some notes for my own reference. I hope to endear myself to the young fay-woman and convince her to assist me with my experiment when this small task is complete.
Though I suspect Shayla, who I believe is some manner of soldier, will be well prepared for the travel, I will spend some time provisioning myself for the task at hand and enjoying a hero’s feast this evening. I will engage in a game or two and see if my luck will portend a good journey on the morrow.
