4th Year, 2nd Moon, 23rd Day: A Moon Later
Tis been nearly a moon since I last visited my journal in Druim Ligen. I have been venturing the country side and practicing my Alchemy. After sitting down with Clioe and Danthe for an Ale we decided to take a trip to Failte and pay respects to our families graves.
Neither had been to Failte since that wretched day. The road was long and filled with danger. The Norse and Albion were actively sieging our frontier and the rain was hammering us as we trekked forward. As we passed Dun Ailinne a group of Siabra attempted to rob us. Bravely Danthe stepped up and told Clioe and I to keep going. He asked I place a scroll on his fathers grave and told me to hurry before he gets mad and puts an arrow in my arse. That boy sure does have a way with words! Last I heard of Danthe he was laughing as he pummeled the bunch of lackeys. I'm sure they learned a fine lesson in how to get ye arse beat.
After about 2 days Clioe and I finally arrived safely at Failte. The village still was overrun by spirits and I could see my efforts to free them have not come with much success. Perhaps they will only rest when I finally slay Garm. Regardless I must continue on bravely and attempt to set their souls free. We then made way to our parents graves to the southeast of Failte. Clioe and I sat on a log for many hours reminiscing about the fun we had pretending that the log we sat on was a grand ship that took us to far away lands. We spent the eve there and made way back to Drium Ligen the next morning. Kills: None
4th Year, 2nd Moon, 2nd Day: The Bloodbath
The sky over Caledonia was painted red with blood this eve. As the sun set the bloodshed began. Hibernian's and Albion alike slammed into the Midgard owned Caledonia Keep. I made my first kill on the road to the Midgard Bridge. I found Voshie, a spirit master, running alone to the Midgard stronghold. I carefully hid behind a tree and when she least expected it jumped out and thrust my knives into her throat spraying the soil with kobold blood. Her blood was warm and a bit sweet. I saw her brown eyes roll to the back of her head as she fell limp to the floor. I laid her onto the ground and carefully placed a flower on her grave. It was then that Elyzaria found me. She crept up next to and carefully embraced me and my blood soaked leather armor. She gently gave me a kiss on the cheek and then snuck off. We tormented a handful of Norsemen for the rest of the night and finally bid each other farewell and went our separate ways. I do hope my family found at least one of 10 Norsemen I had slain. I fear my people grow angry with the slow pace of my revenge. I must speed up the pace if I shall set them free. Kills: Faby (1), Hazcorith (1), Heargrund (1), Helenne (3), Misakichi (1), Myird (1), Voshie (1)
4th Year, 2nd Moon, 1st Day: The Doors Opened
It has been days since the Norsemen came to Caledonia. Today alas I watched as to my dismay 14 Norsemen came flooding out of the Midgard keep. The battles were pretty routine as I slowly picked off a few as they fought a handful of Hibernians and a couple brave Albion. In all I managed to lay 3 to rest before I laid to rest this eve. It was a breath of fresh air being able to slay once again. My patience has paid off. Kills: Absyn (1), Brogema (1), Sabus (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 28th Day: The Empty Keep
The daggers I wield can not be sharpened any further. I have paced the grounds for countless hours and yet I have seen one Valkyn Bonedancer by the name of Brogema. He came out late at night with a Berserker and I managed to stalk him for a good while before Giacoma and I laid him to rest. Once he had been slain the keep grew quiet again. The Midgards seem to be less dominant these days perhaps they are becoming afraid of Caledonia, or perhaps they are all working on their studies. I sure hope these gates bring more trolls to these lands for their blood needs to be spilt. For now I will sit and wait, perhaps ill go fishing where the Hibernian Soil and Midgard Soil meet. I hear the fish there are wonderful. I often find the Albions traveling there to catch their supper. Kills: Brogema (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 27th Day: My Return to Caledonia
Several days have passed since I last walked the lands of Caledonia. I decided to pay my parents grave a visit so that I might collect some more flowers from the fields nearby. The ruins are being over run by weeds now and slowly fading into the landscape. I fear soon it will be but a memory.
Today I decided to travel back to Caledonia to wreak havoc on the local Midgards roaming about... and that is exactly what I did. I stalked the Midgard keep for the first few hours of the day before I decided to roam for a bit. I managed to take down 13 Midgards today. I'm sure my family will be most pleased. I did not however see Elyzaria today, I hope she is not ill. I'm sure she will be around again soon. Kills: Anneo (3), Gudlaug (2), Haisien (2), Novuelvoaemainsinbu (1), Picantilla (1), Rrutroo (2), Squeaker (2), Sythras (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 23rd Day: The Albion Goddess Elyzaria Returns
Tonight was the first night that the beautiful blond hair blue armor wearing Infiltrator by the name of Elyzaria made her presence known to me in Caledonia. What a night at that. It was good to see her alas and I see the many seasons past since our days in Thidranki have helped her grow into quite a remarkable woman. Her eyes still shined like sapphires and her soft touch still makes the hairs on my neck stand on end. It was very nice to finally see her again.
Most of the night we crept about hunting the heathens who were attempting to take the currently Albion occupied Caledonia keep. I managed to slay a handful on my own as well as some with my fellow family members Rheyah and Bondon. My good friend Filidas also joined Elyzaria and I most of the night.
All in all the night was pretty routine. Midgards sieging the keep, Albions defending, and Hibernians Waylaying anyone they can get their hands on. I made some pretty remarkable kills while inside the Albion occupied keep which im sure will get me noticed, especially by Zimzum an Albion who I managed to save on the Caledonia wall. I also managed to hijack a seige ram the Midgards were using to tear down the door. By sabotaging it I managed to prevent them from getting in and gave the Hibernians time to ambush them. I think I will take out my flask and rest here for the night. There shall be many battles coming in the next few days I should be well rested for. Kills: Askubor (1), Fafri (1), Frelam (1), Fyonal (1), Larris (1), Raegnor (1), Shinobiwan (1), Thuerg (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 22nd Day: Hunting the Hunter
Today I took a trip into town to get some of my equipment blessed by a local Alchemist. I had lunch at the Gaiscioch house in Fanach Mala and then made way back to Caledonia for a brief hunt. I managed to track down and slay a Kobold Hunter by the name of Pint, who far exceeded his stay in Caledonia. He managed to get a resurrection after the first time but soon after he stood again I swiftly placed my daggers into his spine. I think even Anu heard the crunch of his spine on that one. Needless to say he was well on his way home to Midgard after that one. After slaying the hunter I wandered for a short while and decided to catch some sleep. Kills: Pint (2)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 20th Day: The Waylaying
The sun grew warm today while I sat and waited for the doors of the Midgard Keep to open. I waited many hours, sitting and sharpening my daggers. The door opened at last. Soon after a Bonedancer appeared with his legion of undead. I left the summoner alone, as I knew a fight of one on 4 would be a bit overwhelming. Soon after Theorn, the same Kobold I had been stalking the last few nights appeared. He followed the Bonedancer down the hill to attack some of my fellow Hibernians that had set up an ambush to the north. I snuck up behind Theorn and quickly dispatched a whirl of pain upon him. His body fell limp to soil and I managed to capture this image of his mangled body.
I waited patiently for his return knowing the Shaman back in Midgard would surely raise his body from the grave. Soon enough Theorn, Wikser, and the Shadowblade Absyn exited the protection of the Midgard Keep. I followed them cautiously to the ruined Hibernian temple. They waited anxiously for a foe to attack them. I received word that the Hibernians would be arriving shortly and was ordered to buy some time. I began toying with them scattering a bunch of Lo gems about on the temple floor. Each time I dropped one they rushed to it. For several minutes I instilled paranoia in their hearts. Alas the Hibernian force arrived and I was ordered to take Theorn down once again. I dispatched him quickly jumping to the aid of a fellow nightshade to bring down the Norseman Warrior Wikser. Upon Wikser's death I attacked the Shadowblade Absyn along side my comrades and alas the raiding party was finished. It was after this that I decided to rest a while so I could sharpen my daggers a bit more. I left flowers of the dead's graves and I'm hopping my family had time to find their souls. If not I shall kill them again. Kills: Absyn (1), Theorn (3), Wikser (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 19th Day: The Hunt for Theorn
A Kobold Shaman stepped from the gates of the Midgard keep. Wandering around the protected lands for quite a while, this suspecting kobold attempted to draw an opponent into the protective zone. I sat and waited, patiently like a child waiting for his mum to place his food on the table. For what seemed like forever I watched as he danced from one side to the other like one of the street performers in Tir na Nog. Alas he decided to step out of the range and attack a simple spider. My window opened and I moved in for the kill. As I snuck up upon him something made him alert and he escaped from my grasp.
The next morning he came back and I was waiting. Again he danced around the protective area this time being as bold as an ox. I waited, and waited, and remained patient. Nearly 3 days had passed since I had slain my last Midgard and yet I have yet to experience a trip through the otherworld. He became secure with his surroundings and decided to make a run to the riverbed. Right when I thought I had once again let him escape he turned around and came back. I placed myself in his way and quickly thrust my daggers into he neck spilling blood onto the soil. He grabbed his neck and began to run but my poisons had him. I chased him down and with his last breath I thrust my dagger into his spine ripping the last life he had out of him. As his body fell to the ground I dropped a flower to remember my family. Kills: Theorn (1)
4th Year, 1st Moon, 16th Day: First Blood on Caledonia
As I stepped out of the keep onto Caledonia soil, the rain hammered unto the ground like a blacksmith pounding his anvil. The ground was saturated with water causing my feet to stick in the mud. After a short while I caught the scent of troll heading towards Caledonia keep. I began to follow what looked to be a group of 18 Midgards heading to lay seige on the Albion held keep.
Alas one young Frostalf Spiritmaster by the name of Okeanos chased the force dragging behind him a lost soul. His delay was his demise. I spilt his blood onto the soil near the archer hill and swiftly placed flowers at his grave. I do hope my family had time to find his soul before the Midgards managed to bring him back.
The night went on and I managed to slay 4 other midgards one of which twice. By nights end the keep had fallen, Midgard banners now shine high over Caledonia. I shall spend the night in the woods near the midgard keep waiting for another opportunity to slay another troll. Until next time.
Vengeance and Remembrance.
Fear the Dagger, Welcome the Rose. Kills: Corstaad (1), Kiusata (1), Mordziek (2), Okeanos (1), Praemeth (1)
