  • When I awoke this morning the bear was still nearby, not watching me as such just there. Being a bear. While I was having breakfast, I was thinking of the tales my mother used to tell me about the bears. She said they used to walk far nearer the Human and Aethri paths than they…

    Back on the road

    This afternoon it was time to leave Lethran and start on the next leg of my journey. I had a choice to make, should I go towards Sylvara and see if there is anyone who can give me more information about the unusual animal behaviour and maybe find out more about these Goose Paths, or…

  • Skein-Wrights

    I spent the morning today in the local Skein-Wright’s workshop, I have visited before and I always enjoy spending time there.

  • First night camping

    I’d almost forgotten how lovely the scenery to the north of Bern is at night! The clouds of Glint-Wings over the grasslands are spectacular, and there are so many of them! The patterns they are making are mesmerising, the same sort of thing I normally see in the starling birds that live closer to Eldran.…

  • Every journey starts with a single step!

    Today is the first day of my journey, today I took that first step away from home. That first step into the unknown. Not unknown roads, not yet, but this time feels different. This time I have no fixed idea about when I will be back and no real idea if I will find answers…

  • If not me then who? If not now then when? I have been trying to figure out if those words are from a poem or just something I heard in a speech once, but what ever they are, they seemed appropriate for right now! I am writing this as a break from packing, I have…
