Hail my friends,

Wonderful times are reaching the Realm. There are more towns coming back into the fold and also new ones! I must tell you a little about the new town Port Baldmor, the island of the Pirates!

I visited Port Baldmor this past week when they had a party. I got a little drunk and the pirates were nice enough to take me off the island at the end of the party in one of their huge ocean vessels. We went from their island to Trinsic where they dropped me off on the docks. The Pirates were a little skittish about those docks in Trinsic; they kept a good eye out for Paladins who may have a price on their heads.

The voyage was pretty uneventful except for an annoying Water Elemental making nasty noises and casting a few spells. The Pirates sent the Elemental back to its Element quickly and we continued on.

At the party, I learned more about the Gatekeeper and a quest for some lost tomes (books). The books are far out at sea somewhere and they need a map from the Gatekeeper. Time will tell if the Gatekeeper helps them and who knows what the books will reveal for certain. Something about ancient powers I hear.

Anyway, I've enjoyed some time off and continue to enjoy wandering the Realm and meeting new people and towns.

Dragonspeed to everyone!
