From the journal of Lythande Syldorei
Wealday, 27th Saraneth
What a relief it is to be back in Lorewynd. It was interesting and even pleasurable to visit Mivon and Pitax, but this place has become my home and I feel I am needed more here.
It was quite late in the evening when the joust finished, as the tourney had not begun until midnight. But the next morning we still rose earlier and packed up our pavilion to depart. We traveled back across Pitax to Mivon in the company of the Swordlord of Mivon just as we had arrived. In Sirain we paused briefly to purchase some wine and cider to take back, and Chahana bought some crates of peaches.
In Mivon we rested a night, and during our dinner with our host Swordlord Selline told us of unrest in Brevoy and mentioned to us that if the Swordlords were able to regain control from the king-regent he might return to Restov. It seems he seeks out support if this even comes to pass. We were challenged to give a reply that was not too definitive, as we want to remain friendly with Mivon but we aren't certain we want to support a potential conflict that could involve Brevoy.
Arravis suggested we ask for someone to host us so we could stay and rest more than a night, and we were hosted by a noble whose name I've already forgotten. I don't blame Zander for his dislike of the affairs of nobility, though I fear my role in the governance of Neotellus will require me to do better at recalling the names and titles of nobles.
We had been away for a full month. Before we left, in the month of Desnus, we had heard news of someone selling addictive drugs in Leveton, but we had been unable to find out who was bringing them into the town before we left and had to leave that situation in the capable hands of Mayor Svetlana and Kesten Garess while we were away.
While we were gone two more roads had been constructed in Neotellus, a granary was built in Tatzlford, and three more farms were established. Reislin says that our economy is doing well. There was even a surplus of crops.
Zander and Ramakka announced their plans to wed on the 25th of Arodus.
Reislin has acquired an assistant named Hobarth, a young local man who is more interested in books and lore than in farming.
In the month of Erastus, we gave Jubilost Narthropple more resources so his company can explore areas that would have been difficult for them previously, and he has gone to explore areas to the south so that we may claim territory between Lorewynd and Jovvox. We have made plans to establish an embassy in Mivon and claiming more lands to the south will give us better trade access, so long as Mivon doesn't lay claim to those areas.
We decided to build a gaol in Leveton to replace the pits Oleg had when we first came there.
The Tiger Lords are planning a hunt as part of the pre-wedding events for Zander's marriage to Ramakka. They intend to hunt for the green dragon that rumor says is hunting livestock.
Arodus 4712
The economy of Neotellus continues to prosper. I am pleased that a cleric of the Guiding Light has come to Leveton to minister to the people there. In Lorewynd we have established a bank to manage the funds of the people, and an orphanage to care for any children who have the misfortune to lose their parents. I am glad to report that the source of the drug scourge in Leveton has been identified and dealt with so the people there will no longer suffer its ill effects.
