Thain Fallshorn UP: Catskills Notes from Thain Fallshorn's personal journal:
Journal Entry #16 - First day out of Winterfell
So it's finally over. Yesterday my old foe, Ventryn, was redeemed and
my memory has returned it seems. Things in Winterfell have finally
settled down so I am off to see my mother in Trinsic has I had
originally planned. I do hope she is ok.
Journal Entry #17 - Third day out of Winterfell
I cannot believe the hold that Minax has upon the land. There are far
fewer travelers about now. And it seems that the monsters multiply
faster than I thought possible. I have slain more creatures in my
journey so far then ever I can remember. And I'm not even half way to
Trinsic yet!
Journal Entry #18 - Fourth day out of Winterfell
I've almost reached Trinsic. It's nightfall now and I can see the
lights from the city itself in the distance. But I'm going to camp out
here for the night. The road has become to dangerous to travel at night.
Even for a short distance.
Journal Entry #19 - Fifth day out of Winterfell
I'm writing this as I stand on the bridge near my home. It's good to
see my home of Trinsic alive and well again. When last I left here the
cursed lich Jou'nar had my home under his boot. I am glad the city is
ours once again. Although I can still see a few signs of the terrible
battles that took place here not long ago. Ah enough of that. On to my
home and reunion with my beloved mother at last! Won't she be surprised
to learn what trouble the sword that father passed on to me turned out
to be.
Journal Entry #20 - Second day out of Trinsic
I still cannot believe it. Five days ago I arrived here in Trinsic. I
was full of hope at seeing my mother and my home once more. I arrived at
my family home only to find it full of neighbors, and other people I
barely know as well as distant relatives I'd not seen in many years. I
was quite curious as to why they were all here. I soon found out, much
to my regret.
My mother lay in her bed. Dying from old age it seemed. Her body
finally giving out after the long labors of her life. I spoke but a few
words to her. Asking her forgiveness for being away from her when she
needed me. She said there was nothing to forgive. That she knew I loved
her and that everything would be all right. She died in my arms then. I
can honestly tell you that I have never wept as much as I had then. I
was now totally alone in this world. All those I held dear have now
passed on.
We buried her two days later and I left Trinsic the next day. No longer
wishing to stay in this place that just yesterday felt so much like
home.
It seems that something is calling me to Moonglow. I've had strange
feelings ever sense taking possession of the Relics of Stormguard. So I
shall journey there and see what strange things await me. For I no
