A Journal carried on the person of Zul Marko in which he documents his travels in the western lands of Faerun.
25 Alturiak 1384 DR
I have finally arrived in Cormyr in the city of Great Gaunt and have taken up lodging in the Regal Griffon Inn. It has been a long jouney from my home in the East and I am looking forward to being able to relax here for a while and to get to know these lands. I hope that my travels here have not been in vain and that I will be able to find what I need to prove myself to those I have left behind at home. I will have to send word to them of my arrival and that I am safe and well. Although the travel was long it was uneventful. I will have to start looking for ways to provide for myself since I am nearly out of my traveling funds. At least the common room of the in here is cheap and the food is edible although I miss the spices of the foods from home already. How do these people eat such bland foods I dont think I will ever figure out. I heard the cook saying something about a rat problem perhaps I will look into that tomorrow when I awake.

After a good nights rest I decided to step out and meet some of the people in town and get to know the area a bit. I Met a helpful man named Xain who was kind enough to show me a few things in town including the local job board. Thanks to him I dont think I will go hungry tonight. He showed me one of the jobs helping a local farmer clear out rats in his barn. His aid was very helpful in showing me what needed to be done so a few coins in our pockets for killing a few rats. I then ventured into the cellars of the inn after talking to the cook. There were many more rats behind a collapsed wall and I found a key that he was looking for off of a very large roach. I then took a walk to a near by town to deliver a package. It was nice to get out and stretch my legs after traveling by boat and coach for so long. I was warned by others as I left to stick to the road.
All and all a productive day.

Well quite the day today. A friend from home finally arrived and we have been exploring the local area together. It is nice to have a friendly face with me again. I am glad that Jaile is here. This morning while I was resting under the tree outside the local inn I was approached by a odd orc that had definatly seen better days. He was a pretty big mess like someone had taken it out on him pretty hard. I have*
discussed my apparent growing magical abilities with a few of the locals and luckily it did not seem to scare them to much. I guess being an adventure you see those kind of things. They talk of taking on what sounds to me very scary missions of hunting giants and who knows what else is out there. I feel lucky that the scariest thing I have seen is a few kobolds south of town so far. Maybe I will feel better about it the more i get used to this lifestyle. Having a friend here definatly helps me feel safer.

It seems I have a big choice ahead of me. According to Azura a sorceress I met in town I have the potential to become a Wizard if I so wish. I know that this could be a life changing experience and put me on a track that will change me in many ways. I have a lot to think about over the next few days luckily this is not a decision that has to be made right away. Part of me is leaning towards wanting how to use a sword and a simple adventuring life while I would still eventually be able to adventure but would also be studying for many years to become a proper wizard. A world of opportunities open up before me. Maybe my love of books will come in handy after all. I guess time will tell.

Today has been a quiet day with not much happening. I spent a good part of the day in study and contemplation. I think I will continue on the path of studying to be a wizard and hopefully make something of myself. I am not sure how my parents will feel about it since my father hates his father who was one. I guess the pressure of trying to impress him was to much. Well hopefully tomorrow will hold more for me. I did learn a little about the making of cloths today so that would make my ma proud. A gentleman named Snaer spent some time teaching me the very basics. I am sure there is so much more to know. I will keep trying to find out what people can teach me.
