Well that was quite an eventful couple of days! We are all staying at the Aethri token house and I am so grateful to Elyr and the Token Bearers for giving me the protection of the Sodality. Without them I don’t know if I would have been able to convince Vivia Thorne that I wasn’t…

On our second morning in Kethra, Elyr and I met up with Tomsk and his Aethri colleague, Fiera in a small artisan tech gallery that did the most brilliant hot chocolate I’d had since leaving Bern! As we sat down I noticed that there was a bear motif on the edge of the table, I…

We started to see Kethra in the distance almost a whole day before we got to the edge of it! It is far bigger than I expected, much bigger than Eldran! It had an intriguing look about it, there was evidence of construction even from that far away, but at the same time things didn’t…

The bear is back. He was standing a little way along the road when we set out for Kethra. When we spotted him I felt a warm flood of emotion from Elyr, a sort of happiness mixed with relief, similar to what I was feeling, the bear thinks we are doing the right thing. When…

We stayed at Elyr’s home again overnight, and spent another long, pleasant evening talking through what we learned in the Echo Keeper’s chamber. The name Threadwarden interests me, and the concept of threadmapping, it sounds like something I need to find out more about! I think this could help me understand the connections between goose…

We stayed the night in Elyr’s home, I was delighted to find out that the Aethri do have very comfy spare bedrooms! We stayed up far too late into the night talking and practicing resonance communication. Elyr says I can get above a whisper now. It’s like learning to speak again I think, although I…

We were still sitting in the Open weave, I had no idea what to say. How had I heard Elyr inside my head? Was this how Aethri communication worked? How was this possible? I just sat there and looked at my friend. They looked just as shaken as I was when I really looked. It’s…

We walked for the next couple of hours in silence, we both needed time to contemplate the gold-back herd. Being surrounded by them like that is not something I have ever heard anyone talk about before. I have only ever known people describe watching from afar, whats more they say that if they get too…

We made camp last night on the far side of Overrun. When we awoke it was a beautiful morning and the bear was sleeping just outside our camp again. I was very happy to see him he feels like a calming presence, it gives me the idea that we are on the right path. This…

First stop this morning was the Pathway Compliance office, where I met the Pathways Officer for the Overrun area, Desi Park. Elyr elected not to come with me into the office, instead they wanted to spend some time on the bridge its self. Apparently being near water is comforting and they said they needed to…
