Dragons and Other Things

by Hildar Stormchild

It's probably safe to say, that while Ananacras is still at the front of my mind, the wider world has a much larger scale problem to deal with. It seems these "dragons" are stirring across the continent, which I'm sure is going to cause no end of trouble. However, for the moment we can't do much against them, so I will resign myself to helping my tribe with our own small quests until we are able to face one. No sense in dying for no good reason. I do think it was a bit out of order for frald to heal one but each to their own I guess. At least he knows what his purpose is.
It's not frald who's driving us on this particular quest though, it is kauri. She has (rather foolishly if you ask me) obtained a house with a trapped soul bound to it. Ever the obessive when it comes to whether or not things should live, she's taken great affront at the idea that someone is practicing necromany. For a change, I do agree with her that dead things are supposed to stay that way, corpses belong in the ground. Like Balthzar's. George reckons the two things are linked, and after a brief trip back home to show them we picked up some tracks that suggested he was right.
They headed to reus, and so that is where we shall go. I've been told drura has headed that way. I was planning on telling her about ananacras, I think she'd want to know, maybe I'll get the chance who knows. For now though, we're back in fandalva waiting for mel. Typical.

The major events and journals in Hildar's history, from the beginning to today.

A different life

I never thought it would happen, that I would find myself alone. I thought that the Kaneth would stay true to the Everstorm, but even my hard work and the great leadership of Drura of the white sky could not keep them from straying. Even she eventually le...

Hunting

This place is crazy. I was minding my own business in some small hills, attempting to learn the ways of these forests of green and rain. They are certainly bountiful, if a little stifling and tangled, and have a strange beauty that I start too see more a...

09:51 pm - 02.06.2019

Laws

I'm starting to get frustrated at the number of rules. I met a captain today, who told me they'd "decided to waive the death penalty this time" and told me if I was caught poaching in the barony's woods again he would be less lenient. I had no idea I was ...

Working, after a fashion

I finally earned enough to buy more ink without going hungry, so I'll fill in the last few months. I still can't stay in one place for long, and I don't think I ever will. But my yearning for wandering is apparently quite rare, and the village folk are ha...

Autumn leaves {historical}

The reds and golds that paint this land in the autumn still surprise me. I never saw such beautiful death in the snowy wastes, it was always quick and black and frozen. But these leaves get the most beautiful last song that I've ever seen, perhaps it insp...

10:23 pm - 03.06.2019

A friend {historical}

I've been working with Sari Rufus for months now, and I think it's safe to say I'll miss her when we part paths. She has answers to all my questions, and although I don't agree with everything she says it doesn't seem to matter. She talks a lot of this Go...

11:11 pm - 03.06.2019

Spring storm {historical}

We'd been moving between the towns to the south west of Reus for a few months when she told me. She had met someone, got to know them in the town tavern as I slept every night under the stars, and she was moving to stay with him. With her eyes fixed firml...

11:33 pm - 03.06.2019

Strange people

I met the strangest group of people recently. Well, perhaps that's a little hypocritical of me, considering how far I am from where I belong. There's a strangely elegant eladrin; a stubborn dwarf with a penchant for stories and bushes, and powerful heali...

12:03 am - 04.06.2019

Jackalware

So we set off looking for this werewolf, and found these strange monsters. They were corrupted, in a different way to the animals from near the rift, and seemingly oblivious to mundane injuries. I swear, the more I learn about this world the more bafflimg...

12:55 am - 19.06.2019

Caves, Trees, and Hallucinations

So, the lady we saved from the jackalopes was called frey. She took us back to her eladrin village, through this strange place that both is and isn't like the forest we'd come from. There, we discovered tell of a weapon that can apparently be used to figh...

11:54 pm - 26.07.2019

Faliures and potions

After much discussion, we still had not made a headway on our prisoners decision when a strange floating man and his powerful elven friend appeared in the grove. I tried to stand in his way, but nothing I could do stopped him. Fortunately they left again ...

12:15 am - 22.08.2019

Fear and fighting

Melbon knows the way through these twisting forests the best, so I'm happy to let him take the lead, as he seems pretty reliable. We meander north for a couple of days, and the constantly changing scenery is refreshing. Jane, also, is good company, even t...

08:51 pm - 03.09.2019

Greed

Much has passed, so my memory is hazy, but I find myself drawn to document the strange turns my life is taking. And they may yet get stranger, but I shall start from a beginning, of sorts. The forest was being infected by a great green demon, that mel ca...

11:32 pm - 18.12.2019

Trying not to think about it and failing

So we set off. For home. What a strange turn my life has taken. My little tribe is keen to go so who would I be to stop them because of some sentimentality. And the winds blow me northeast with a familiar icy touch I can't resist. After all, maybe it's be...

02:11 pm - 19.01.2020

Dice and near-death

It was eeerie, being back, but it reminded me I'm not supposed to be there. The everstorm seemed to choose to make me feel unwelcome. I can feel the love for my home burning inside me; the rush of memories as we crossed the wastes towards Ka'ar, everythin...

11:22 pm - 05.02.2020

Law and chaos

I stayed in the end. Only for a bit, of course, but I felt like there was more that I could learn there. I did a bit of asking around and then sought out the druid of the Verrid tribe; an orc woman about ten years my senior called Yitril Redrain. Her appr...

12:32 am - 17.04.2020

A force for change, and the same again

So there I was, upon the steps of the library with frald and pondering if this city held anything except dusty old tomes, when a shout from Kauri drew my attention back inside. She had spotted the air begin to twist in two, and some foul demons clambered ...

06:10 pm - 23.04.2020

Around and down

So we set off across the empty city, in search for something to help keep the walls alive. After spending some time looking round a house that mel so skillfully broke into i found a strange wooden relic that ticks regularly, but nothing more of note. So ...

11:00 pm - 29.04.2020

Lure and Leader

So there was another door. Of course there was a door we weren't supposed to go through. But george says he heard someone ask for help behind it and I'm not gonna just let someone die if they ask me to help them. So everyone but george goes in to this roo...

10:22 pm - 06.05.2020

Knives and Teeth {interlude}

I've made up my mind. The everstorm is already so needlessly destructive, it does not need my help. I did not think it would turn on us, but perhaps this is 0nly another challenge for the storm islanders that remain here, another way of whittling us down ...

02:19 pm - 20.05.2020

Dragons and Other Things

It's probably safe to say, that while Ananacras is still at the front of my mind, the wider world has a much larger scale problem to deal with. It seems these "dragons" are stirring across the continent, which I'm sure is going to cause no end of trouble....
