Role

Chapter 2

Well I must be doing something right. For this day I was bade
into the garden just south of the inn and informed that I would
now take a leadership role in Heralds. This incredible honour
surprised me to say the least, but I am eternally grateful for
it. I am told this came upon Lady Sessha's recommendation. Yet
again this woman has brought to me good things. I shall
remember to repay her someday. Sessha intrigues me so. She
mentors me, yet unaware of the fact. I wonder if she'll ever
fully accept her role in our relationship. I seem to learn
something new everytime I speak to her, and if I ended up half
the bard, half the herald or half the person that she is one day,
I'll consider myself a well lived elf. I shall capture lady
Sessha in song so that she may know immortality one day. This
song will be amongst my masterworks, and so it shall take some
time, as all true art should.
The title of High Herald is one that I graciously accept, and
shall strive to at least do something memorable with. After a
brief conversation with my Diamond Lord, I discovered that Lady
Yanoreth had once made deals with inns throughout Thera to allow
her Heralds to entertain in other venues than the Eternal Star.
Though I love our inn, the prospect of new audiences, travel and
day trips to exciting new stages thrilled me. This information
has never been documented for the Heralds, and thus I've embarked
upon a quest to do so. I'll travel to every inn in Thera if I
must. I shall also compile a list of inns that perhaps should
allow us to use their facilities and try to negotiate such a deal.

***Progress Reoprt***

I have discovered that the Mushroom Tree Tavern, the Laughing Bear,
The Copenham Inn, Morse, the Blue Sky Tavern and the Green Dragon
Inn all allow Heralds to mix drinks at their facilities. We can
even cook in the Copenham inn kitchen. That is a good start! I
have a few more inns to visit yet, and then from that list I shall
figure out who would be a suitable match for an association with
the Heralds. I know that the inn in Akan will not be amongst the
list, as the fools close their inn at 9pm! This furthers my belief
that the drinking legends of Akan must be utter hogwash. To prove
it, I a humble elf, will challenge Akan to a drinking contest in
the near future. I'm tempted to place a bet and see if I can win
the Akan Inn to keep it open all night, if nothing else.
