Introduction:
Ok, i had nothing to do, and so i decided to write down a part of Captain Darus' log book.
Important to note though, is that Captain Darus is not the same as my in-game character. However, he is my character's great grandfather, and it was after him that my character was named. We will begin, as it suits a story, from the beginning.
The escape from the Northern Realm.


20/3 - 560
Finally. My family has been able to leave port without being detected, and are now sailing towards the promissed land that I have heard so much about, together with about 20 other refugees. I estimate that the voyage will take around two months, if the weather stays fine.

24/3 - 560
We got caught by a storm yesterday, and we have had to make an emergency landing at this god forsaken island. We have been sailing in four days, and we have lost 2 men already. I do not know what took them, but all we have found from them, is a foot.
The ships repair will hopefully be done by the morning.

24/3 - 560
It was maybe two hours ago since i last wrote in the log book, and the reason is that we found out what happened to the two men of the crew. We found the corpse of some horrible creature, looking like it came from the worst nightmare possibly imaginable, if not worse! I do not know if there are any more of these creatures, and we must set sail again as soon as possible!

26/3 - 560
We have finally set sail. I'm starting to believe that the creature we found was the only one of it's kind. I now hope that this was the first and only mishappening of this journey. I...
Pirates!

29/4 - 560
More than a month has passed, we are still a drift, no sail and no rations. I believe we will never find the promissed land.

30/4 - 560
We had the greatest luck, and managed to meet a trader, saying that he was heading toward a remote island, that was only a days travel ahead, and that he could tow us there.

2/4 - 560
We've been ashore for two days now. Most of the crew and passengers are working here to afford for the repair of the ship after those dreaded pirates.

12/5 - 560
I no longer know what to believe.
I have heard that the promissed land, or "The World of Dreams" as the locals call it, is actually populated by dragons, undeads, and a variety of other horrid monsters. I have not told the others, as I do not want to start a mutiny.

1/6 - 560
It's been more than two weeks now since we last spotted land. I do not know how much longer the food and water will last. We need to find a port soon...

??? - 560
Still no sight of land. I have sent out a carrier pidgeon, and i am fearing that mutiny is getting closer. The crew no longer obey my orders. I can only hope that we find land, or that someone get's the pidgeon and start looking for us, or I'm doomed.

The plauge has found it's way onboard, and already most of the passengers have been contaminated, including my dear wife and daughter. My son, however, is still healthy, and cares to there need as much as he can.

??? - 560
Dead. My wife and my daughter, along with 10 other passengers, has now died due to the plauge. This voyage must be cursed, and i believe that this is the final entry.

1/8 - 560
I am currently being led by a trading fleet heading towards the World of Dreams! They tell me that it is only a couple of days away! The crew has started to work even harder after this message.
However I have to ask the trade fleets captain about the monsters...

3/8 - 560
We have gone ashore at the port of Britain, the capitol in this land, which name is Britannia.
The voyage is over.

It is quite hard to write a good story in "log book format", but i think that it turned out pretty well.
Please, post feedback and criticism, so that possible future posts of Captain Darus' employance in the trade fleet that eventually saved him can turn out better than this one.
