Forward Movement

Greetings Journal,
So my new adventure begins. Since we last spoke our group has made it to the town of Yrlag, a very small port town, but it appears passage by boat can be acquired here which may be our best option going forward, to travel to this encampment of New Cyre that keeps coming up in conversation. Without a doubt, those people need all the help they can muster, and I feel if the Delkyr want Kalshanna and Virikhad it would be best to get them both away from the Shadow Marches as soon as possible.
Don't presume I abandon my duties as a Gatekeeper, Journal, I have entrusted Geth to seek out others of the Order to spread the word to the south while I continue the work in the east, because if they have managed to seek out the Bull Hole there is nothing to say they haven't got eyes on the other seals. I trust Geth with this task, he may not look too kindly upon Warforged but he cared for Adolan and wishes to exact his revenge and follow through.
 
The concept of revenge didn't really resonate with me previously, harkening back to the idea of soldiers being just numbers, you lose one there would nearly always be a replacement. Now, however, when I think about my Mentor and the Copper Dragon my mind can't shake the focus of it, my only desire is to see it erased from the face of Eberron permanently. This must be what revenge feels like, not sure I'm a fan, seems like it would push you to attempt something illogical just to satiate it, all the more reason I need to get away from the Shadow Marches, incase I act on said impulses too quickly.
 
Lt. Singe has left with Geth, somewhat begrudging, however after the goose chase Geth gave him, he won't let him loose that easily, though I'm glad they have each other, being alone isn't pleasant for too long a period.
He did request I stop calling him Luietnenat as he was never an official Audarian officer and I'm no longer an Audarain soldier, I suppose he's right, though technically I was M.I.A not K.I.A but I was told never to argue with superiors regardless of whom they pledge allegiance
 
Virikhad seems deadset on remaining here in the Marches to seek out his and Kelshanna's remaining compatriots, we tried to convince him otherwise but to no avail, this did always amaze me about other Humanoids, they aren't as physically resistant as my kind but they more than make up for it in mental resolve. logically speaking, if the Delkyr were using them to locate or open the Bull Hole seal then they have succeeded and their friends are as good as ashes or worse, part of their growing army of aberrations, but who am I to crush this mans spirit? I sincerely hope he finds some closure if nothing else.
 
Unable to take Glen on board the boat I left him in the care of Virikhad as I wished him well on his journey. So that just leaves the 3 of us: You, Kelshanna and myself.
 
Couldn't wish for nicer companions though, do not mistake me. Kelshanna is a different sort to those I've become accustomed too but I sense wisdom and kindness behind her eyes... or is it their eyes?.... This Quori spirit business still has me a little confused, still, I like her. This light she mentions is curious, I've never been much for spirituality, not before the gatekeepers anyway, but it seems to grant her a sense of purpose beyond herself which is definitely a sentiment I can appreciate.
 
The secure passage from Yrlag we must work upon the boat to pay the fare of 200gp, more money than I have ever seen but its the fastest way around the swamp, so be it. Nothing too difficult and Kelshanna and I are able to pay our way through. it helps that I don't need to rent a cabin or pay to eat, means we will accrue the amount sooner rather than later. I think Kelshanna finds this a bit strange, although she doesn't seem to question it, and I'm not sure how I would even bring such a topic up, the Warforged can be a difficult topic for many in Korvaire to discuss due to their ties to the Last War, so I think it wise to let her come to me with such enquiries.
 
The crew claim we are approaching the bay known as The Hilt and thus will arrive in the city of Sharn where we can continue our journey eastward. Heard many things about this place, that the tallest buildings reach higher than the clouds. Incredible.
