Yanor’s Journal Early Sarenith (Feb 2020)

This just has to be an old buried Thassilonian site and the bandits like the goblins are searching for something. What could possibly have the power to drive both goblins and humans on a frantic search for Thassilonian secrets? As much as I want to stay and further investigate the portal it’s time to get a closer look at Roderic’s maps.

The trip back to Roderick’s cove was uneventful, Apparently Lullaby doesn’t want to tangle with us at the moment.  The map of Churlwood had the symbol of the Runelords marking a spot near where we dealt with the goblins. I copied that and other missing points of reference onto my own map.

How is Audrahni tied to the Runelords? Or did she just happen to settle in Roderick’s cove for no reason. I know we have to build trust before she feels comfortable sharing more of her story and motivations but I just hope she doesn’t wait too long.

Spending time with Svaci truly shows how much these animals mean to her. Just hearing her talk about her dogs is clear to anyone that she is doing what she loves. I admit that Lucy has to be my favorite. If I was going to settle down or become a fur trader she would be my first dog but there is no place in my life for a dog. All in all Svaci is a good person and hopefully in the future she can find someone to marry that will share her passionate about dogs. In the meantime there is no reason for her to feel lonely.  I am not really sure if we are becoming just friends or friends with benefits but she seemed to understand that I am not the marrying type.

Yanor journal entry #1 Roderic’s cove

Sister where are you? I have searched everywhere for any sign of you but nothing. Roderic’s cove was yet another in a long line of dead ends. For so many years I kept expecting you to show up, I just couldn’t understand why my sister would leave me alone in this odd world. I have search cities and towns throughout this continent looking for any sign that you ever existed. Even the old thassilon ruins show no signs of you. I have finally come to the conclusion that my method of searching for you is not going to work. All the data clearly indicates that I came through a portal from somewhere, in all my travels everyone just looks at me strange when I explain my story with most thinking that I am making it all up. There is one place that I haven’t searched yet: Time.

I’ve heard a theory that the runelords had mastery of time. If we ended up in different times then that would explain why you haven’t found me after all this time. Given my research you likely didn’t end up in my recent past.  Did I pass through time or did you? Maybe both of us?

The fact that I had to learn to speak common after traveling through the portal supports being born in a different time. But was that from the distant past or distant future? I really wish you would have given me more information on why this happened. Was this an accident or did you purposely send me here.

My new companions here at Roderic’s cove have begun to uncover powerful runelord magic and there is talk of the runelords waking from their slumber. I feel like the hero’s of the past need to band together to prevent the runelords from raising to power again but the way Jigu and Droste talk about the hero’s they seemed uninterested. Who is going to stop the runelords. Sister did you send me here to help stop the runelords or was it to help the runelords.

Roderic’s cove is one of the last places that I expected to find a runelords champions weapon, but that seems to be the case. Their seems to be something related to the runelords that goes all the way back to the founder of Rodric’s cove. It might be good to work with this group for a while to see if they can uncover the source of the runelords time magic. For now I will keep my ideas about time magic to myself, a least until the subject comes up.

My assumptions about my curse were wrong. Maybe I should have research divine curses to figure out more about this curse. Several times while at Roderic’s home the cursed activated and now it seems as though fighting triggers the curse. Looking back at the last several times the curse happened back in Korvosa I can now clearly see that they were combat situations. I guess it is lucky that Sasha is here to understand me during combat. It looks like this curse is going to happen a lot more with these people so I need to at least start improving my ability to fight. Maybe learning to fight better will help me fit in better, the twins as always are still kicking ass.

Yanor, human Oracle of Lore

On Gozran 17th 4710 the elderly couple Yani and Eleanor were enjoying a quite game of shogi when a portal suddenly opens inside their home. As the portal is closing a young boy is hurled from the portal hitting the wall with great force and then crumpling to the ground in a bloody heap. Examining the boy they discover a severe head injury but that the blood dripping off him was not his blood.

Yani asks the church for help with the injuries on the boy but the cleric is away. The young boy remained unconscious for three days before waking up and had no memory who he is, he can’t even remember his own name. He immediately asks about his sister Isabela but Yani just gives him a strange look.

Eleanor puts her hand on her husband’s arm and says something in a language the boy does not understand. Final she turns to the boy and explains that he was the only person that came through the portal. She then goes on to explain that her husband doesn’t understand the language the boy is speaking. Eleanor tells the boy that she always wanted to have a son but that they were not bless with any children.  She names him Yanor, at least until his memory returns.

For the next month Yanor wears bandages as the injury on does not seem to heal. When the cleric finally returns he examines Yanor and discovers low level lingering magic and dispels that magic. With the magic dispelled Yanor is finally able to properly heal and learn to speak common. It is then that Yanor truly discovers that the people of Wartle see him as a bandage wearing freak that comes from a backward place that does know how to speak a proper language.

The only kids in town that would play with Yanor are the twins from the church and even they seem a little put off by him. The other kids in Wartle either bulled or just physically beat him and he Yanor soon was very envious of the fact that the twins always had each other’s backs and he often wished his sister would come take him away. Yanor spent most days growing up at the church going through the books in the church library and talking with the elder woman.

As Yanor grew into manhood he noticed that women started to look at him differently .The same girls that for years treated him poor start meeting up with him in private. These private meet ups go on for several years even though the twins keep insisting him that they are using just him. At 16 his adoptive mother dies and 1 year later her husband passes away. Yanor finally has had enough and leaves Wartle at the age of 17.

Yanor has been in Roderic’s Cove for several months after working as an assistant for a small group of researchers investigating a possible Thassilonian ruin a few hundred miles away. He originally was looking for information about his sister Isabela so he eagerly seeks out Miesalo Salen from the Temple of the Stars and Roads as well as Desil Marphan and Audrahni at the Graveyard/The Lady’s Chapel to any records or grave sites related to the name Isabela or anything they know about Thassilonian. He is openly obsessed with anything Thassilonian and would seek out anyone with similar interests and exchange information with them.

He is intrigued at seeing a person he met at Riddleport ‘s Cyphergate just lying down in the circle.   At the idea of this being a Thassilonian ruin he begin looking into the possibility of the circle being a Thassilonian ruin.

Yanor after looking over the site for many days Yanor take a few moments to gather himself before using knowledge arcane skill to try to figure out information about the circle. If there is a connection he would then drop into geek mode explaining in detail how this is connected with Thassilon.
