The Stranded Nomad

A nomad was on travels but got kidnapped by a militia. He was freed eventually and travelled through the wastelands of the desert continent Arkay, mistrusting everyone but his Dog, who he named after the Dædríc god of Knowledge and Memory, Hermæus Mora.
The Nomad and his dog bonded well for a few years. Celebrating Hermæus Moras third birthday and their 3rd anniversary the Nomad got him some special treats that were known for doping animals, like weed does to humans. He took some too, but didn't know they would knock out humans within minutes. A fashion designer and movie director, named Lisa Johnson took him in. She has read his journal, though he had a cryptic handwriting and wrote in the old Dædríc language, which is only spoken by priests and Dædríc worshippers.
After a few hours of research and asking around the people she knows she found the Dædríc alphabet and a few grammar rules online and understood a few sentences. But most sentences were structured very complicated, so that only a real Dædríc Priest or Prince could read it and make sense of it.
Now she writes about their adventures, starting when she rescued him from being eaten alive.
