Entry Four; Gifts Of Friendship



I sent a cart baring many gifts, among these goods were a lockbox fitted with fifty gold pieces, barrels of the finest wines and many fine clothing to Lady Hughes as a sign of friendship which is common among my kin when forming Alliances.

I had these goods arrive before myself with a letter requesting I might stay within Lady Hughes winter mansion while conducting business within the lands of Bree however I left out one detail which is the true reason for my visit to Bree.

Of course I intend to support her cause against the Exiles yet I was here for a contract of various gem-rocks and heirlooms belonging to another age. In secret I held my meetings in the shady-Inn that goes by the name of ' Pony '. With the contract completed, I now stand with even more wealth from which is getting transported to vaults of my kin.

Even though I surrounded by the greediness of my heart which is common amongst my kin, I find myself offering contracts to mercenaries, smith's and other tradesmen to amass an army that will rival our enemies in this war. I... I feel as if I am enjoying life once again, cut loose of my loneness within the mountains....
