The First day, when everything changed.

It all started with me getting off watch. As I was getting a drink, about to order some food, guards came to get me about a prisoner. This is the first of my new companions that I have met. Quite the large and furry type, the Firbolg, Gnarlis seems like a good man. Only time will tell. I also met a Paladin of the Raven Queen. Like many, Morrighan is driven and goal oriented. Almost to the point of being a fanatic. She seems to have her heart in the right place, but I may need to help her slow down a bit. Last is the Bard, Travian. Not sure what to think of the man yet. So far, he is a little annoying, but that seems all surface. I wonder if the loud mouth is just putting up a facade. I am sure he means well, but we will see.
 
It was odd, we all found ourselves in the Turquoise Turtle. Everyone was eating and drinking, except the bard. I think he was preparing to perform. All I know, is when I next saw him we were dealing with shadows and he was dressed ridiculously. Though, he did wield his rapier somewhat effectively. All I know, is the three stood by me in battle, and for that they have the beginnings of my respect.
 
The shadows were odd, but what is even more odd is that the council gave us permission to enter the Tainted District. It was too easy, do they want me dead? No, it is more complicated than that. I wonder if we are a last resort with my sister out, they can't be that desperate, can they?
 
Strangely enough, this motley crew seems to be brought together by fate, mother talked about that, fate. I had always thought that fate and destiny were just concepts that were spoken about. Yet, the Morrighan is after a book that can only be found outside the wall. Yet, to go outside the wall, we need to get solid evidence on what happened to Levina Riverlight from the Tainted District. A prospect Travian seems interested in. Gnarlis, as quiet as he is, seems set on doing this with us, his only answer being that it "feels right". How did I end up with this group? Well, by happenstance.
 
No matter, tomorrow we go to the Tainted District. But first, I need to go see my moms old co-worker Florian Lybloom to see what it is that he wants. Then, since it has been a while, I will go see my sister, Quelanna along with the Elizabeth, the main doctor. She may know a few things.
