I had some visions today, many visions that brought me a headache, stronger that the others, I saw peculiar things, things that I cannot explain. Have I ever seen those places and people? I even heard things, familiar sounds of war and pain and blood... I am Morthwyl, the Champion of the pits of Angmar and I have heard sounds of war, but not in Angmar, not up there. The only reason I am writing this is so that I don't forget what I saw.
I was walking in the area called Beggar's Alley when I suddenly heard drums in my head, at first I looked around but I saw nothing, yet the drums drew closer, I almost fell to my knees from the pain as I grabbed my head. I closed my eyes and I saw a great hall with statues and carvings, it seemed abandoned and everything was dark, some crystals were scarcely lighting the place and the ceiling was high and well-crafted. I heard the footsteps of armed men, they turned out to be Dwarves, armed to the teeth, running and shouting orders, I started running as well, towards the source of the drums, I had my sword and shield in my hands and I was wearing an armour as well. There were other men too and we all got near a turning were we waited, as the drums got closer we could hear growls and snarls, a round of arrows was shot on us and countless angry goblins attack! I felt a spear scratch my sides and fell on my knees...
Only to stand up and be elsewhere, in a small area with houses, I was standing in front of one of the bigger houses and entered it, it was beautifully decorated, with casks of ale and whiskey and tables full of food. I saw some faces I haven't seen before, but one, that man that insulted me the other day in the Prancing Pony and I beat him. It appears that I may know him or I have seen him before, I cannot tell... Not now at least. As I wandered around the house I saw others, one of them had an iron foot and seemed to be the leader of the bank, I saw red-headed lass who seemed carefree and too loose in her manners... There were others, I seemed to know them and when they saw me smiled, I felt that I was smiling as well and I when I looked down I saw that I wore different clothes with a sigil on them, I was part of something. Nearby was another lass, tanned and slim, in a different attire, she looked more intimidating than others and seemed ever-watching. Nearby was another man that I don't know, he was grinning and making fun of someone, I think the red-headed lass, to a corner there was another man that I felt close, he seemed to be thinking about something, self-absorbed in his own thoughts with a clever look in his eyes. Near the barrels stood a shorter slim lass, looking around, being in the arms of another man with happy looks in his face. There were many others too, all of which I felt that I loved and felt close, I cannot write about them all but I am sure I will find out who they are.
The pain got stronger and the drums banged again, this time I saw others in another hall, a silent woman who wanted to seem strong, yet had pain in her, a carefree man, who was sure of himself, much similar to the red-headed woman earlier, I think that I knew him once. There was also a female Elf and another man who kept his face covered all the time, then there was that another woman whom I seemed to know very well, next to her was a silent man, dressed in a different manner and somewhere alone there was a tall and strong man standing near a statue all by himself. I looked around at Beggar's Alley and saw a strangely clothed man, I could feel his sorrow and I felt close to him as if brothers, yet I know that I don't know him... The drums continued their pounding and then I saw another man, dressed in a similar way to the other one but more talkative, more different than him, a friend maybe?
The drums pounded and I felt my hand reaching my side and feeling the blood, red as it was, flowing on my hand and on the ground, another hit found its target, straight to my shoulder and I saw her, that red-headed woman I saw the other day. Now she was in my arms and now she was away, I tried to move but I couldn't, I looked around and I was in the pits again, the crowd cheered my name, Morthwyl, Morthwyl, and two orcs entered, I charged at them and the pain was gone. Everything was clear again, as is my purpose to find those woods with the tall trees and the hills, soon I will go there, I found a lass that wants to do the same, she has the maps and I have the weapons, she wants to travel and I want to find out...
