Hidden Meanings & Secrets.

Dear Journal,

Thoughts about Enlightened Energies, Hidden Secrets, Magick, Mysteries & Hidden Meanings occured to me.

Many of Enlightening lessons are lost, but there are 'treasure seekers' who search for objects of art, for textbooks with lessons, for other clues about such mysteries.

i am such 'Seeker' as well and know that hidden treasures can be found anywhere - these can be discovered in a textbook found in a deep cave, in a beautiful poem or a paint, in a misty pond surrounded by candles. Once someone uncovers deeper meaning of something this can open eyes & mind, can lead to revelations, to deeper understanding of Wisdom, to being closer to Enlightenment a little.

Enlightenment is a mind state, it's reached by cultivating Wisdom & Compassion, there are other ways that help as well.

i am a Witch & a Seeker as well, i wrote a poem about ones such as i:

'Quiet & light, this young witch is;
In hidden meanings - she finds revelation'.

Ancient Statue,
Is it a clue?

What secrets it holds?
Can it open eyes?

Weapon Mastery (Amyliomendur's Tale).

After some initial amount of real combat & adventuring, i've dedicated myself to weapon mastery of longsword.

Perfection is found in the mastery of a single melee weapon - longsword in my case.

i seek to unite this weapon of choice with my body, to make them one, and to use the weapon as naturally and without thought as any other limb.

Weapon Mastery is the long way, for now i am only initiate.

In the martial ways training never ends.

Spiders & Drow (Amyliomendur's Tale).

Fighting Spiders.


i've travelled & searched for my brothers in Narfell ... and found an adventuring group.

We scoured spider woods & goblin lands together.

Spiders & Ettercaps are quite a challenge, with their poisons & webs.

Then we found a nasty, big, fat & ugly spider that we defeated as well. His belly contained spider's silk & some gems that we sold later.

On our way back we traversed goblin territory & noticed a drow assassin questioning a goblin.

We failed to kill drow, but we did chase him away.

We carried goblin's body back to norwick, where one of us cast 'Speak with Dead' prayer.

Goblin corpse awoke, turned his still face at questioner and answered her questions. Drow wanted to know about local mines & veins, about Black Onyx deposits.

Black Onyx is a gem used by necromancers to create undead.

Then we cremated a goblin's corpse - so it won't be raised as undead, then went Peltarch to sell found gems.

800 gold coin in total, i have to find Adriana to give her a share.

So far no luck searching for my brothers.

Amy's Arrival (Amyliomendur's Tale).

It started when our youngest brother Lomy escaped our home in Cormanthor woods.

We prepared expedition to persuade him going home, or at least to provide assistance if his will could not be swayed.

Isendir went first, scouting ahead as he usually did.

i've joined him after his first letter home - in which he wrote that Lomy is fine where he is.

Isendir mentioned that this land is plagued by undead, orcs, demons & drow ... among other threats.

We decided that i'll complete my Weaponmaster Training in Narfell then.

We'll keep sending letters to Cormanthor, to our family & friends - sparing them grisly details of flame, blood & gore, but not omitting important facts.

i took my chainmail, longsword & shield, some throwing axes as well ... and embarked on a travel & adventure.

Order of Golden Light, a Helping Hand.

A monk.


Dear Journal,

Within our City of Peltarch, monks have started to appear on the streets and down at the docks.

They have been handing out food to the homeless and giving small acts of charity where possible.

They spoke of the Golden Light aiding those in the Jewel of the Icelace, as our city is sometimes called.

The monks themselves seemed very pleasant, they talked with anyone who did approach.

They did not give answers to questions about their order, but simply stated that they are willing to help where they can and they do so in the name of the 'Order of Golden Light'.

i did approach them & introduced myself as a meditator & a scribe at the Selune's Shrine in the Temple Lighthouse.

i wished monks all the best, and thanked them for their efforts.

i hope all good they do will last.

-- Yours, Chea Allin, a Witch & a Seeker of Enlightened Energies.
