Onward HO!

Wexford Mining Town is remarkably civilized. It is not unlike any other mining town. The have mages with birds spelled to travel to the next messenger town or the one closest to their destination. So I am sending my letters to you now with some lovely polished gemstones. Moonstone, Jasper, Moss Agate. They all have meanings or so the seller told me. See if Uncle's mage can identify them for you. What was his name? Oh doesn't matter. Danica, you know him. I have only seen him once. Maybe one of those stones will be helpful for Kitrya.

Still no sign of my guide. I will could not get a map here. The folks looked at me like I was a foreigner and laughed at me for not knowing the land. Hear me sigh with embarrassment for not having studied a map from the Messenger Guild Hall in advance. I did get a general direction to head... due northwest.

I will continue along my way and hope the guide find me well. It would be funny and well to my credit if I made the destination before he even found me. The townfolk warn me that outside the town walls, the land and people are harsh. Hunger is a problem in many areas making for lots of brigands and raiders. I will keep to the woods and be wary. I am sure the cats or Hoofsong will warn me if trouble is near, but I can never be too cautious.

Be well, see you in 6 weeks.
