Chapter 2 - A Poor Man's Lodgings

Upon arriving in Bree it was clear that coin, or lack there of, would be my first concern.  What would be considered a moderate amount of coin out in Archet and the smaller villages beyond, now was nothing more than a pittance in a town such as Bree.  Subsequently this now made me a poor man.

A Journal Neglected

It has been around two years now since I first arrived in Bree and began my new life here.  In that time so much has changed, and yet it saddens me that so much still remains the same.

But once again I skip ahead.  It seems as though the weight of my current thoughts rise to the forefront of my mind, and unbidden they manifest themselves on the parchment in front of me.

Chapter 1 - New Oppurtunities

Prologue

To say that the story of my life has been dictated by the less virtuous instincts of man would be something of an understatement, but forgive me, lest I skip ahead.

I shall start this journal at the point all stories should start, and that would be at the beginning.

Lord Blackthorne was many things. landowner, scholar, husband and even at times something of a musician but of all his pastimes, hunting was his greatest love.
