  • The Echo Keeper

    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…

  • Aethryn

    Arriving in Aethryn was more breathtaking than I could have imagined. Elyr had tried to describe it to me, they called it a place of connection but I had no idea what that meant until we approached. It was, of course beautiful, but not only that it felt like nowhere I have been so far…

  • Patterns

    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…

  • Tangles

    When I finally convinced Elyr to stop playing with Mouse the hoop-weasel we set out along the path that followed the line of the river. Mouse scampered along beside us, possibly because Elyr was dropping little pieces of oatcake when they thought I wasn’t looking! I guess we have a hoop-weasel now. The bear also…

  • 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…

  • We walked almost to the river yesterday, then made camp for the night, it was nice to have company. Somewhere along the way the bear disappeared from view but when we awoke, he was there snoozing just outside the camp. He remained there sometimes seemingly asleep sometimes watching with half an eye while we had…

  • An Aethri named Elyr

    Today was my last day in Eldran, and it has been a really good one! I met Elyr for breakfast as we planned and talking with them was like reconnecting with a best friend I had forgotten I had. I was very interested to hear more about the resonance as a dynamic fabric of threads…

  • The meeting at Caereth Hall was scheduled to start at 10am but I decided I would get in there first, I thought it might be interesting to observe the people entering the hall and where they choose to sit. I also got a chance to look around the place while it was fairly empty. It…

  • After my conversations with Corin Hale this morning, I decided that I would spend the afternoon doing a bit of digging in the Library. I wanted to see if there are any other mentions of unusual behaviour in the wildlife in this area to go with what I have observed. I also wanted to see…
