Strangers from a Strange land

by Warden

Hello again, Journal,
 
Its been an active few days, shortly after we last spoke I encountered Lieutenant Singe and Geth along the trail, we share a campfire. I can forgive them journal, they may have left me behind but I'd rather they lived than face the same fate as Azhug, they seem in high spirits but Geth is rather distant as he was before, that man has had his fill of war for one lifetime I feel.
During our respite, our group is approached by a couple of strangers, they are dressed strangely but don't appear to be armed, aside from possibly some magical ability. Lt. Singe is distrusting of them but before we can integrate them further Geth spots a squad of Dolgrims and some other Delkyr horror attack us. We're able to defeat them but where there were some, there will be more and I encourage our new companions to travel with us. Their names are Kalshana and Virikhad, they seem nice but naive of Korvairian customs, which would make sense considering the distance they travelled, Virikhad asked me if I was a "follower of the light", Now I like a sunny day as much as the next guy so I may have said a small lie about being a follower of this light to encourage them to come along... I know journal, I'm sorry about that, but the Reaches are dangerous, especially for strangers so I'd rather they travel with us. We follow the trail of our wayward horses that scarpered as soon as the fighting broke out until we were ambushed again by some of those tribal warriors seemingly working with the Delkyr. We outnumbered them so it was a short fight, they seem dead set on our new friends though, feeding the fire of Lt. Singe's distrust. I still feel the best policy is to remain together, and on horseback, we were able to outrun them, we stop briefly to discuss our plan going forward.
 
Kalshana tells us of her people and the reason to travel here, all seems very odd to me, these Qouri spirits they mention, sounds like multiple souls sharing a body, could see how that would be useful but I would imagine rather uncomfortable too, they seem to be coping well with it at any rate. This Dreaming dark they speak of troubles me more though, they sound very dangerous and if they have any form of connection to the Delkyr we are in a fair amount of trouble. So, for now, our goals seem in alignment, we will soon be leaving the Reaches and heading to the town of Yrlag in the Shadow Marches as Geth tells us we can find more Gatekeepers there and maybe some answers.
 
We shall see if this venture bears fruit, I certainly hope so ,
Till next time,
Warden AKA WX-4445
