Par returned to the city today. He has finished whatever it was he needed to do here and now he needs to go finish things up in Pearlhold. I believe what he is doing is organizing their government. Whisperer and many of his followers left with Par.

I met with several of the warriors, mages, and healer that performed the best during the conflict today. It was interesting hearing different accounts of the conflict, some were downplayed and more were exaggerated but all of them told the same basic story. Though the most interesting conversation I had was with an Ex-slave that managed to become a full citizen. He was taken from a bandit camp that had attacked one of Par’s raiding parties, it didn’t go well for them. Anyway, he said that we should expect some kind of retaliation from the other nearby cities, though he called them city-states. The elf seems to think that the cities will feel threatened by us taking control of Pearlhold and will try to crush us. Several others seemed to share this opinion.

If they are anything like Pearlhold it will be easy. And once they attack they will be weakened enough to be easy pickings, or at least that’s my thoughts on the matter. I’m not the one in charge of the fighting.

Other than that I spent most of my time refining Astrie. Progress is the same as ever.

Anyway, Good Night Diary.
