The Eternal Star

I wandered about, trying to find where I could fit in.
There was a large city far across the water to the south I visited,
Modan some of them called it, which had an oppressive humidity that
numbed the mind. Arkham is a town under siege, making it too like my
earlier life, and so I left that quickly enough. Another city, Hamsah
to the east of Galadon and the village north of it, Balator, are a city
in which everyone feels distant and foreign to each other. Nearby, too,
are the Empire and the Scions of the Eternal Blight, and the last thing
I needed was to court war and ruin by joining up as a handmaiden of horror.

I was beginning to explore the north when I rested in an inn, a place called
the Eternal Star, and a storm giant was setting out an elaborate display of
drinks and bread on the table, as if it were a communion for thirteen guests.
Krimzar was his name, and he mentioned that the inn was always looking for
new talent and served as a home for wanderers.

I could not confess any talent, but I had experience working in the bakery
in Galadon and working in the shadow of Dorothy in nearby Voralian city, so
I agreed to seek out Olin and the Lady Rarywey.

Rumor must have circulated, as not a day later a voice from the forests called
to me and said he heard I was looking for a home. He told me again to seek out
the Water Lady, as he called her, and mentioned that if I gifted her with a poem
she might be well pleased.

I put ink to parchment and mind to poetry, and I have something for her, should
she desire it.
