Following the Wind

K,

Pericles, the High Priest of Heliod in Neolantika and the Polemarch's Spiritual Advisor, recently hired me to be his personal bodyguard. He asked me to join him in exploring the Eldenwood with Kleon the witch. Something about following the voices or the wind. Not really sure what he was going on about. Arktouros and Koal joined us.

Attempted Raid on the Triton Village

K,

It was a cool, clear night when I met with Thridax, Anekdotos, Koal, Pericles, Hellen, and six hoplites just outside Neolantika. The hoplites each brought an extra horse for the six of us. Together, we followed the coast south for many hours until dawn when we found we had just reached the northernmost hills north of the Triton village.

Into the Depths of the Seaside Grotto

Dear mom,

It seems the Shorestalkers sought revenge sooner than expected for the public execution of their fellow that we captured last month. The night before we were to return to the Seaside Grotto to explore its depths, I was awakened by a poisoned urchin spine sword plunged into my gut, held by a Shorestalker whose skin shifted to match its surroundings. I was unarmed and bleeding badly. As it drew back to finish me, I lunged for my spear and stabbed it twice, I called out for Heliod’s divine power to grant me a respite and empower my strike.

Dear mom,

So much has happened since I last wrote. It has been an exciting break from the tedium of governing. It all started late last year when the heads of the five families came together and agreed the Shorestalkers have disrupted trade routes for too long and the current state of trade cannot stand. They said I have one year to establish safe trade routes with Meletis to the south and Deyda Harbor to the north.
