Jora's Notebook

13th February 1448 Ea-nasir took me to the Lover's Purse last night all part of my sending off from the single life as he put it. The women there were gorgeous I had not seen such beauty even the finest women in Eidover would pale in comparison Sani Eglain was right in Traveller’s Tales when he said that the Lover's Purse is the closest a man can come to paradise on the Material Plane. And the most beautiful of all of them, Lyanna her hair fire red, I suppose the gods decided it better matched her personality, I am to be married in the morning so such thoughts are beyond me now, Missa is my true love and I will go to the ends of Talor to make her happy.
12th March 1450 My love Missa, my heart breaks not to make her happy, this last year we have tried so hard to bear a child, Missa disagrees but I can't help thinking had I been better that I would be holding my child in my arms as I write this. I saw Lyanna in the market yesterday, she smiled at me, we shared pleasantries she said her door was always open to men in need of comfort and guidance.
22nd October 1451 Much as it shames me I cannot but hate Missa over a year and still no child to show for the love we share. I have found myself often passing the Lover's Purse of late on my way back from the Two Brewer's to the shop, so many times I have found myself on its doorstep without the courage to open the door. When I return home Missa is silent, we hardly speak now...
13th December 1451 Missa's mother is sick and so she has travelled to Braxta. All this magic within these walls and I can find none that will return me to happier times and so I found myself again on the doorstep of the Lover's Purse. As if she knew I'd be there Lyanna invited me in.
16th April 1452 Lyanna or as I suppose I should call her by her real name Niara, she brought me to the Misophist, a great man with many ideas that will prevent the terrible future I see for Talor each night in my dreams. Missa says that I have been away for days but I have no memory of this I imagine she has been at the traja again.
8th May 1452 I have the dream again each night now, The Misophist comes and the runes glow darkly in the night. It summons me to bad dreams, bad deeds. My dearest Missa please forgive me. ....


21st June 1452 The BAD dreams come again I can feel it's will pressing me. The clouds, the thunder, the blood. The hooded man vexes me he asks things I cannot do...Will not do. 3rd August 1453 One more night of the Misophist's teachings I feel the power growing within, Missa suspects nothing, the truth be told Niara is my true love now, the woman who makes my nightmares dreams.
9th August 1453 The runes....the runes...the runes...Sord...the runes, the runes....the Misophist whispers to me of futures yet to come, of Niara, they are all I desire now, the plan will begin tomorrow...begin with me.
