Interlude

Few of the Navigator's entires over the next few months survive today. The few that that do are still being investigated by museum archivists. The vast majority of them record simple mundane entries. An typical sample entry follows:

Godsday, too cold to snow. Drazil returns.

Other entries record business transactions surrounding the construction of his home:

Shipment #11235 arrives short, inquire with Mitch

And drafts of correspondence with the admirialty court in Gyrax pertaining to his most recent sailing abord Tempest.

There are also hotly debated, undated, partially intact letters that reveal a possible romance with one or possibly two partners at this time. The debate surrounding these documents is related to the code names of places and times the Navigator often utilizes in his letters. Some have suggested that now Sir Kildare was involved with another man. This has caused great anguish for his heirs, and his order and most mainstream researchers belive that the code names used represent only the young lady he would marry the following year. What follows is the only fully intact, restored and suitable for display writing of the navigator from the period.

Interlude: 11 Sunsebb, Godsday: I have returned from the coast to find the bitter cold of this early winter to have halted all work on the keep wall and defenses. The Sea Prince or Barons if you prefer have been most active along the coast and word of war on the Wild at Safeton-Bar Harbor have reached our shores. I would trust my own judgement and dismiss these rumors as just that however, after the most recent experience with my own judgement about such activity I will consult a seer before dismissing such horrible news. Ms. Leipzig is well, having recovered fully now from her illness. Her work has suffered but she is in good spirits and on the mend.

This is the only occassion in which the Navigator is known to have refered to a woman living with hime prior to his marriage the following summer. It is not know who exactly she is.
