Diary of Julius Valarian: Thaumont 1,000 AC

Thaumont 15th 1,000 AC
The “Shooting Star” show last night was particularly lovely. I couldn’t help but tell Adriana that I feel we are blessed as we are not livestock farmers. More Rumors abound:

  • Thaddigren Dentiata sometimes entertains strange visitors from afar and often hires messengers to take packages to distant corners of the world.
  • A pack of enormous wolves guards the tower of Thaddigren Dentiata, but they won’t attack anyone who tosses them meat.

Thaumont 26th 1,000 AC
We had another “eclipse” yesterday. That is what Adriana is calling them. She read in one of the books she picked up from the local city that when the sky goes black during the middle of the day it is called an “Eclipse.” My wife is the smartest person I know. During the eclipse, the Rogoz farm animals went missing. Since it was during the day, he had not locked them up for the night yet.

Thaumont 28th 1,000 AC
The Gnomish Carivan passed through town on its yearly route. It passes though Sisak on the way to Radlebb Keep. From there they return to Highforge. Every Day of the Dead the Carivan comes through. The locals use this time to clean out their houses, remove anything that they no longer need, or want.

If the objects are in good condition, they try to sell them to the gnomish caravan, who sometimes, will take them back to Highforge and sell them. If they are not, then they burn them in a big fire in the center of the town. Everyone sits around the fire and drinks and eats in memory of those who have passed this last year.
