Entry One

by Aster Persei

First day in the Iron Guard. The journey here was utter shite, freezing and wet with the clouds constantly covering the stars. Haven't seen them in days and it's starting to wear me down. Even worse there are no stars in this damn place, just a big light during the day and nothing at night.

I've been able to start working at this apothecary alongside one of my fellow convicts, an odd tortle called Duok, doesn't seem the sort that would end up here and managed to get himself blown up as we were collecting materials. Also snores terribly, but its probably smarter to stick together in this place so I'll bear with it for now.
I don't know what the other ones that came with me are doing, well I guess I know that Jack guy is in prison with the Goliath. Odd person that Goliath, is silent the whole ride over, tells us good luck before leaving, then next I hear of him he's gone beating up the saloon and fighting the mayor. Hopefully that's not a common occurrence.
 
Even here in the Iron Guard it still hasn't quite hit me, my fellow followers are all gone and I'm alone again. Haven't felt like this since I was young, but its even worse now since even the stars are lost to me. In truth I don't know what I'm doing, I've got no idea how to start with the great work and the sheer scale of it feels impossible, how did the Master ever manage this?
I'll figure something out... eventually. Until then... I'll just make a place for myself, it can't hurt to acquire funds right?
