Excerpts from

the Journal of Puab Closk
My journey is nearly ended. It seems I

have spent over a season in the desert.

The moisture in the air is alarming,

it feels wasteful. It may take me a

while to adjust being in the city again.

I have also found that distancing myself

from civilization has made me more

attuned to its moods. The areas

surrounding Freeport feel more

dangerous than before. Everyone I come

across seems on edge and fearful.

I have spent three nights in the city

and I am very disturbed by what I have

learned. It seems Freeport has a new

leader. I knew D'Lere was vying for

power before I left, but I never

imagined he would succeed.


Strangely, I feel like we have

betrayed ourselves allowing this to

happen. I must ask myself, would we

have interfered if I were here? I

will meditate on that question tonight,
I have searched my feelings and

decided that we would not have stopped

D'Lere and that realization saddens me.

We have always been apart from politics,

but this feels different. I cannot yet

say why this has affected me so

strongly.
I have observed the monastery from

afar for a day now. All seems the same

as when I left, except some of the

students were causing a bit of a

ruckus with the militia. I feel some

trepidation at the thought of returning.

I feel as though some great evil looms

on the horizon waiting to devour us all.

I don't trust this place.
It is odd... I spent only a season or

so in the desert and it feels far more

like home than Freeport. It is strange

how travel and learning can do that to

a man. I have spent several weeks

speaking with the Sensei and the

council. I have explained and

demonstrated to them what I have

learned. They are excited and a bit

scared. I cannot blame them for their

initial fear.
I have taught the leaders the Arcane

Combat styles. They absorbed each

stance and movement like a desert plant

does water. It was beautiful to watch

the realization wash over them. They

have felt the power given to us by

Quellious and can now wield it.


They look at me with a bit of reverence

in their gazes, I must squash that

immediately. They cannot come to

depend on me, they each must believe
Riots have broken out again tonight. We cannot stay here. I will not allow our knowledge to fall into D'Lere's hands. That fool would tear the world asunder with no one to check him. We have packed up all of the libraries and we have begun filtering out of the city slowly to keep from drawing attention to our departure. We will go into the desert. There we will train and learn all we can of this new combat. There we will make our home and protect the Arcane Combat from the villainy of evil men.
