Preparations For Desert Travel
Ottersday 4, Comet Month, Year 25 of the Golden Emperor
Dear Diary,
Well, these last two days have been busy, but not terribly interesting. For the most part, we have been preparing to cross the desert that lies a mere half day’s ride to the east. That means gathering food and water, most of the former being purchased from the local people, the Trenil.
The Trenil are a small people, with few being more than 3 feet tall. The live in the foothills and prairie bordering the Aversoth River, which at this time of year is still flowing rather swiftly. Fortunately, the Trenil have built a fine bridge across it.
Being on this side of the Wall Mountains, the Trenil knew nothing of our lands, although they have heard some stories from the Kennor Dwarves, who live south of them, and the Ulonians, who live far north of them, but trade for the quite excellent Trenil Ale.
As far as appearance goes, the Trenil look quite doglike, mostly leaning toward the scruffy wirehaired terrier breeds. They are simple country folk and once they learned of our mission, were quite willing to sell us what we need. They have also informed us that the desert is home to several dangerous creatures and at least one race of “insane cannibal tribesmen”. We will certainly be on our guard against them!
Well, Diary, it is late and we are leaving very early to follow the rather sparse remnants of the Great Road. I will write more when I get the chance.
