Par returned today. It took surprisingly long for him to organize everything at Pearlhold, though he did get it done.

He tried to send delegates to the other nearby cities, but all were turned away. It wasn’t all in vain, he did manage to gather rumors in those cities. There is a lot of talk about potential military action against the ‘upstart savages’ as we are being called. Though based on other reports their militaries are not very sophisticated, with a couple exceptions. This area has been really peaceful for quite a while, so beyond squashing banditry there really hasn’t been a need for a military.

So it is very likely that we will be attacked here in the relatively near future. Eh, whatever, I highly doubt any army that would feel threatened by us would be able to hurt us too badly. It’s not there aren’t more powerful creatures, it’s just that any creature powerful enough to destroy us wouldn’t have a reason to care about us ‘upstart savages’.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

‘Upstart savages’, what a joke. Who do you think founded your cities, huh? If it wasn’t for otherwise feral creature gaining sentience a couple hundred years ago your precious walls wouldn’t even exist.

ok, so yeah, that comment got me a little ticked off. But I mean seriously? We managed to capture a city in less than a month, we can’t possibly be as savage and unrefined as they think we are. An army of savage berserkers, while effective at destroying things, is only going to destroy things.

I should probably stop there before I go off on another passive aggressive tangent to no one in particular.

Anyway, I worked on Astrie for most of the day. Also, it is still getting colder, and snowing. This morning the snow went halfway up my shins, it melted quickly but still, it put me in a bad mood.

Anyway, good night diary.
