A note was thrown in a trash can in Sundren city. It is written in Draconic.
I write this so that I might be able to figure out what to do. In the five days I've been in Sundren the world has changed SO MANY TIMES. I came to Sundren because that was where my master was headed when he was killed. Lost, not knowing what to do I did odd jobs to try to figure out my freedom.
The first night I ran into a woman named Cybil. She worships a local religious pantheon and have formed up into a group called "The Triumverate". She took me in and cared for me, but seemed appaled when I called her master. Why would she? She is not a slave, isn't it a mark of prestiege to have a slave, if not more? She told me that she wasn't my master, it didn't make sense. She started seeming hysterical. Even so, it was pleasant eating meals with her.
The next day I ran into a Thayan knight. I was supprised, my master never informed me there was an enclave here. I of course did not ask my master the reason for the visit. The knights name was Lauan. A large argument insued about whether I was thayan property or not. My master said that I was to serve HIM, and not to follow the orders of another. My fate was shown clearly when somone, I don't remeber much about her, informed me that Cybil never claimed me and never would. So I went with Lauan to the enclave for she had claimed me.
Shortly after arriving a tiefling named Zack came in. He offered the secret to sealing a portal to Lauan in exchange for me. So I went with Zack. He had even wierder orders than Cybil. Call that man "Captain Hornswaggler", and a female elf others referred to as Fox, "asshole". He later said to do what I enjoyed, and the only thing that I enjoyed while I've been here had been meals with Cybil.
The next day Cybil said I was a ward of the church, but that I still wasn't a slave, but to do what the Triumverate says. There are too many mixed messages, I am stating to get them all confused. She said that Zack had no right to own me. There are strange laws here. Apparently I can only be a slave to the Thayans.
Sometime later a large argument broke out with the Triumverate, Lauan and Zack all telling me to go with them. This place makes no sense, if I cannot be owned why does the Triumverate want me. Lauan tried to take me back to the enclave. The guards stopped her and they told her and Zack to leave. Then Cybil said a long talk that made sense at the time, but doesn't seem to make much sense anymore. She said to choose and that my fate might not be to be a slave, but to become a slave again, there would be no way to undo it if my fate was not to be one. Zack said that he knew much of fate, that he would teach me. So I chose to try to learn my fate from Zack.
The next day I learned much from Zack. He is my teacher. I learned that As conscious beings we will naturally move away from the worst pain. That is our fate. He said that when I followed him I would not have the pain of being lost, not knowing what to do, nor the pain of beatings.
The following day I woke up and heard a rumor that Zack was in prison. The rumor said that he had been abducted, beaten and he and his two assailants were locked up. One of them was released. This does not make any sense to me at all. Why do they do that when as far as I can tell their laws say not to attack another? Why is Zack locked up?
Then Cybil who was also there asked to have a talk with me. We argued about fate ((It's a pain arguing religious dogma in a world as far apart as D&D, especially since I can't find more than 2 paragraphs on Savras.)) While I am trying to make sense of that argument I am starting to wonder something else. If our Fate likely tries to minimize pain. What do I do? Waiting here on this bench, I'm starting to feel lost agian. I don't know what to do. Do I wait for my teacher to be released? Should I go to the Triumverate? No, everything just gets more confusing when I am around them, they have odd laws and strange beliefs. I will wait here for as long as I can stand. If my teacher is not released before then I will find Lauan. At least I understand my purpose as a slave. Freedom is terrifying. Perhaps I was right in the beginning, I am fated to be a slave, the only other thing that I understand is fighting.
