Book 3: The Rat in the Pit

From Chronicle of the Solidblade Knight

Hail to Lord Amitiyah, son to a murdered father; may our joy balm your grief.

In thy name is the glory, may my deeds lighten thine heart.

'Tis the 21st Day of the 3rd Moon of the 306th year of your sorrow.

I must confess to you that my journey through the Forest of Giants was fraught with the unexpected, and not at all what I anticipated.

Though I did enter that place to battle the foul Danu the Bottomless in your name, I found no satisfaction. Sadly, the ogress chieftain was slain by treacherous wizardry before our clash could begin. It leaves me melancholy for what a glorious battle that would have been.

I daresay they are more than capable of Paradises princely pricethough at the rate the Sengezian buys others drinks, I do wonder for how long. It is a joyful time, and I hope that - in some measure - that joy is shared with you, o grieving one.

Even if that joy is in more earthly things.

And so, there is little else to write: I celebrate life and fellowship as you would have me, and wait for the swift wind to glory to blow me where I next must travel.

I still find Eydis Rune dormant. I am not called yet.

Your humble servant writes so that your followers may know the deeds done in your name. May your glory spread across the land and choke the murderous Stheno and her treacherous servants. May your suffering, one day be hers.

- St. Cristabel Esclanore, the Solidblade Knight, Sworn to King Merzhin of Traemea, Sainted of Amitiyah
