    Richard Menneset

    I have just left my southern homelands after the death of my poor serf parrents.Swearing i'll never die with a broken back an empty pockets,i have turned to the goddess of coin to lead my ways.I have just departed on my voyage by sea to the northern lands called Narfell.Many stories of heros an riches come from this land….perhaps i may find a way to earn my share of this wealth.The boat voyage was horrid as for my shortnees of coins allowed for olny freight passage,being stored below deck like a crate of leathers,with the rats.I'll be lucky if i dont contract the plague here.Food is hardly abundent,having to fight the rats to keep what little old bread i had stored in my robes for this trip.
    As a light breaks the darkness below deack an a man crys"all ashore goen ashore"Isurvive the heel i'd been confined too.The few other unluck souls forced to ride below with me scampered to the deck above an off the ship as fast as thay could.I also moved as fast as my weary legs could carry me.Raising my hand to sheild my eyes from the sun i exited the ship into the new city i had reached.
    I spent a short time wandering about the docks of this new city just happy to be free of the dank darkness of the lower decks of that rat infested hulk of a ship.After i had wandered about the city for a few hours i tired an went to the inn"The Mermaid"the sign read.Seems a fine place of rest.Upon entering i saw a few weary travlers an adventurers lazying about so i felt i could be a home for as long as i could afford it.
    After a good rest i left the commons room an headed down stairs.One group of seeming friends were just finishing up drinks as i came down stairs.After introducing my self an a few moments of conversation,to my suprize,theese friends decide to exit the city for a barenuckle fight between themselves.I tryed to offer other means of satisfaction,such as dice or card,leaving the matter to chance,but neither would listen.One even saying "it was ok were friends".How crazy is that.this man i had just met an a women were to fight for no reasons i could fathom.After i saw their was nothing i could do to stop this i mearly follow to offer some healing comfert to the looser.
    Now layen down to rest after my first day in this grand city of Peltrach,one of the fighters gave me its name,i think back at the day wondering.If this is how frends treat eachother here......i may just keep my distance a bit longer to see what may happen next.
