Joining the Shifting Tides and the First Mission

Thought I should I start one of these since you know, just in case of anything but also to record my adventures here. Who knows, maybe it'll be just as big as Revan von Carstein. But anyways after traveling around the continent I finally found my way to the Great Tree and to the Shifting Tides. I've heard stories that they were a Duchy with many accomplishments on their belts and real friendly too so I thought they can help teach me a thing or two about adventuring. Interesting bunch, so far I've met a few members. One of their guild leaders is a Aarakocra of all things! A parrot variant too! I've only read about them in books back at Cathedrani Keep. He was very welcoming and is one of the leaders of this tavern, the Casa Carajo. The other a dwarf templar by the name of Eric Withakay. Odd name but definitely a passionate ally to have I can tell. I hope to introduce myself to the others soon.
 
We were contracted on our first mission today, clear out a den of goblins and get to the end inside the mountains. I heard that these were closed off however and I can see why, the mission was headed by a few adventuring groups and rapidly we were set upon by these creatures, only these weren't ordinary goblins. They were some sort of mutated variant, I've never heard of them in my books being able to use shields and spells of all things so effectively! Some of the teams had to retreat, mines included but the others were able to push through. Luckily we brought back some valuable information about these mountain passes to the tavern and the Duchy.
 
Now I wait and train. I hope that I can make some more use of my family's armor, I still look for my family's sword. I know its out there. Whether broken and I'll remake it. Or somewhere out there hidden. I only know of its name. Blackrazor.
