26th Day of Galehome

Weather: Windy and full of pollen
I'm starting this journal because Doctor Cliff hopes it will help with my memory. It's hard to be sure, of course, but at least I'll have this lo look back on if I have any other memory problems.
Where to start... Well, my name's Theodric. Theo for short. That much I remember. Two days ago, on the Spring Equinox, I woke up here. Well, not here exactly. I was in a weird room with a big arch or something deep in a cave. I don't know how I got there. Anyway, I found my way out of the cave by following the path the rainwater had carved and came out in the forest. Eventually I heard a stream and that led me to this place. Luckily, somebody with a boat saw me on the other side of the stream, I don't think I could have swam it. They brought me to the doctor and now here I am, writing in this journal.
The doctor, or maybe it was the nurse, tells me that this place is called the Iron Valley. I guess there are old iron mines in the mountains. Honestly, I don't know if I should be more concerned with where I am, how I got here, or what happened to my memory. The doctor says there doesn't seem to be any other sign of trauma or injury. No bumps on bruises on my head. No cuts or scratches other than those I got in the cave. As far as he can tell, I'm healthy. I just don't remember anything before that room.
I suppose I should be concerned with all three of those things in turn. Also, I need to figure out what I'm going to do from now until I... I don't know, find a way back? Back to where? I guess I have a lot to think about. Once I have something more concrete, I'll write it in this journal. Something tells me that I'll be happy I have this one day.
As for the future. Well, the distant future will have to wait. More immediately, I've been in the clinic for a couple of days, but since I'm not injured or ill it's not really an appropriate place. Doctor Cliff says he has a spare bedroom that I can borrow untill I figure out what I'm going to do next. That is very kind of him. I'll have to make sure not to be a burden. Tomorrow I plan to venture into the forest to see if I can find that cave. Doctor Cliff says it's not a good idea to go by myself, but I don't know anybody and I don't want to wait. It's possible that clues to my past could be lost if I dawdle. Tonight, however, I plan to get a good rest.
