Eril's Story

I am about to embark on a journey... The words of my travels will be yours after I am gone from this world. I feel as if I have already lived several lifetimes, and over that span have rendered my life and services to the people and places I love. Now, I am compelled to leave this community, the city I have called home and made much of my life in. Though I lack for nothing physically, my needs are all met, and Tenora in all its grandeur and majesty cannot be matched. The tug at my soul to explore and wander before my age takes my body from this Earth is ever present.

I wish to see beyond, to lands unknown to me. Places that after years of peace from the great war have had time to heal, that new life springs from. I have benefited from that peace for the majority of the two hundred and sixty years of my life - for it was but when I was a youth that I was called into service to defend my people and homeland. And in that time I was abroad much, but the memory of it is tainted by death and destruction. This time it will be different.

This begins my written entries detailing what will be my first and last undertaking of real adventure. For while my body still holds now, it will not always be so, for while our bodies last centuries, they do not possess the spark of the immortal in our physical form like the Seraphs or other beings do. I have made the necessary preparations, and my supplies are set and gathered - I have made my peace with the relations in my life, friends, those I respect, and the limited family I hold dear. This last day, or should I say first, will be spent wandering through the wonderful city of Tenora one last time.
