Edge Of The Dynasty

This town being close to the border is more prosperous than those I have seen before. While under the rule of the Sorovan Dynasty it sees the likes of traders and foreigners to this land wishing to do business. While not allowed to pass the border itself, there appears to be a seemingly neutral hub where those from within and outside the town can mingle under the watchful eye of the town guard. I was able to replenish my provisions and send another raven home. Letters from Doturim where also waiting for me here, my monastery must have sent them ahead of me to here knowing that I would come through. It appears all of my letters did make it back home thankfully, Ayleth responded to each one. She identified the feather that I sent home, it belongs to an rare eagle that temporarily migrates to the forests of the Dynasty. They are seldom found and finding them is considered good luck, even better though is if you give them to someone you care about it is an assurance that you will stand by them. I should give one to Ayleth properly next time I see them in person, the other two I will keep if I find anyone else on my journey. They may not know the symbolism behind the gesture initially but it would be my hope they might find out through my actions. Otherwise I did receive a letter from Master Klembor detailing how the mood of Doturim has shifted, the guard are more alert than usual and security around the gates has increased. He and the other Masters are not sure what this means exactly yet and they are trying to work out what from their sources, he will keep me updated if he can. It is my hope that this is just a problem local to Doturim, there are many town guards here at the border and these ones look elite and armed to the teeth who check over everyone who enters or leaves. I notice that only soldiers and diplomats seem to be moving through, everyone else is seemingly turned away. I am not sure I will pass as easily as I left home,I must be careful. I would like to get through this quickly but that may look suspicious and I certainly wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of the guards. Tomorrow I will attempt to continue onto my next leg of the journey and leave the Sorovan Dynasty, if successful I will make my way to the free cities. If not, well I shall cross that bridge when I come to it.
