New Beginnings

by Revered Father Darcell Durros

Today marks the beginning of my mission to Amn, a land plagued by caste systems and the scourge of slavery. Ilmater's divine call has guided me here, and I am filled with both anticipation and trepidation. As I arrived at the unfamiliar shores of Esmeltaran, the stark contrast to the tranquil lands of Cormyr was immediately evident.

The caste system, so deeply ingrained in society, is an oppressive shadow that looms over the people. Slavery is a pervasive blight, with human lives considered mere property. The suffering I have witnessed here is heart-wrenching, and my resolve to bring about change is unwavering.

I have already begun to forge connections with local abolitionists and activists, forming a network of allies dedicated to ending this injustice. They have shared stories of pain and resilience, and their spirit inspires me. As I walked through the bustling streets of Esmeltaran, I could feel the weight of suffering in the eyes of those oppressed. It is clear that the road ahead will be challenging, but the divine vision that brought me here keeps me strong.

I have also made contact with a few sympathetic local leaders and individuals within the government who may provide support for our cause. Negotiations are underway, but it is clear that the path to change is fraught with obstacles. I am determined to maintain a diplomatic approach, but I know that there may come a time when civil unrest becomes the only way to create a more just society.

As I lay down to rest in a simple inn, I can only pray to Ilmater for strength and guidance. The journey to bring balance and equality to Amn has just begun, and while the road is long and perilous, it is a path I am willing to tread. My mantra, "Pray for peace, prepare for war," echoes in my heart, a reminder of my purpose in this foreign land.

May Ilmater's compassion guide our efforts and may the suffering of the people be eased. I am resolute in my commitment to this mission, and I know that the challenges ahead will only strengthen our resolve.
