The Chronicles of Bael

Chronicles of Bael Part 37

Waterday, Truth Week, Storm Season, 1600

Alda Chur is not a large city by the standards of Esrolia or the Empire or even Tarsh, but it is the second largest city in Sartar. It possesses only some four thousand souls, but is nevertheless a bustling trade center due to its location on the main trade route between the Empire and Esrolia. The merchants have chosen to delay their travels south for two days to set up a market. Despite several visits to Alda Chur with my Master I am not unhappy to have the opportunity to once again view the ancient glass walls and delicate towers of the old draconic city that Alda Chur was built upon. Even more curious are the small number of living buildings that still remain from the Second Age.

This evening I felt my Power swell more fully as a gift from Lhankor Mhy, no doubt as a result resisting the Demoralize spell that struck me in the battle with the Tusk Riders. It is clear that my Chaos gift not only increased my Power but also my capacity to grow my Power. Even now it is clear that I possess more Power than even the greatest Priest.
