The Long Road Ahead

I wondered the roads for a day before coming to the Roxey Inn. The Innkeeper, Malene, must have seen my weapons and thought that I was some sort of mercenary. She told me of a Necromancer that had taken up residence near the Inn. Raelynn the Gravefinder, as I'm told she called herself, had been causing all manner of undead to walk the nights and frankly this was bad for business. When Malene offered a reward I set off to find Raelynn's lair, Moss Rock Cavern. Dealing with the Necromancer was much easier than I had imagined and sure enough I was rewarded for my efforts. However the reward of 20 gold was pitiful at most. While the job was easier than I had imagined, It was still difficult. The underground cavern was filled with zombified freaks.

I did find a nice amount of weapons which I planned to sell to the first arms trader I came across. The nearest city was Chorrol so I figured why not. As I came near to the city I saw Weynon Priory. I thought of the Emperor's last command. Why not just honor a dead man's last request? Just leave it with the guy and leave. So I brought it to this Jauffre. The man is a old monk and as soon as I hand it over to him he demands to know why I have it. I thought I was gonna wind up back in a cell. So I tell him my story and for some reason this old monk finds it to be believeable. I don't know how anyone could even begin to find that tale remotely plausible.

But here is the real kicker. He tells me that I have to go all the way to the city of Kvatch and bring the Emperor's bastard child back to Weynon Priory. I was just supposed to drop off the necklace and go on with the rest of my life. But it appears that Jauffre and the Nine have other ideas.

Tonight I am staying in the house of a man named Thorley Aethelred. A warm bed and an enchanted tome were my reward for helping him with his West Weald Bear problem.
