The Beginning
It all started in the Fall of 93 SMP (2021-10-01), as I later found out. It was the moment when the portal did throw me on the the world of Rathnir. The time before is still blurry and I don't seem to age.

There was ... I don't remember.

I remember some images in my head, some names, some sounds, tastes and smells.

But I can't connect them ... .

What happened? I just woke up, in a bush inside a deep jungle. And over me a swirling glowing dark violet orb.

I look around, its green in green, plants over plants. It must be what was called jungle. Wait, did I just remember something? Yes, I know what this is, a jungle.

Ok, what have I with me, a rusty sword, an old pickax and an dull ax. Oh, there is also some food, about to get bad.

It seems like it is day, I see some blue between the leafs.

The Journey
What do I do? Choose a random direction and explore there? I have nothing better to do.

So I started running in one direction. I later saw the sun set, so I must run west. If west is here even a thing?

A few days later, the jungle clears. And I stand in front of a wall. No one to see, no entry anywhere.

After a day I moved on. Maybe there are other settlements with people in them?

Last night I had a dream, a dream in which I remembered some things. I remembered the faces of my parents. And I remembered that there was a powerful divine being, I did things for her in my home. I don't remember her name, but she appeared in a silver light in my dream. So I will call her Lady of the Silver Light for now. I also remembered a name, is it my name? I don't know. I will take it. I'm Albsi Swiftpaw.

A big water is in front of me, I found a tree, cut it down and carved a boat from it. It took me days to do so.

I stocked up on some food and water. Prayed to the Lady of the Silver Light and started my journey at last moon light. I still feel that she protects me and that she is more powerful at night. Is she the moon? Does she use the moon light to contact me?

After weeks on the ocean, I finally found land again. Sweet, sweet land. My food barely lasted. This world, is it one? Is so strange. It seems here is not much Arcana. I had a dream where I was able to cast spells. I tried it here, but it was just a puff. Maybe the Arcana here works different? I also found not much life. Plants are plenty, but animals are very rare. And I only saw one other person. I think they where a human. At least not like me. They tried to talk to me but I didn't understand a word.

This night the goddess gifted me with understanding of the strange language. I now know the human greeted me. So if I find other humans I hopefully understand them.

More dreams, more people and I think I maybe lived in a desert town. At least for some time. But the images of my parents where in a snowy village.

More water and land. I traveled now for months. Saw some towns and cities here and there. Some seem active, some where only ruins. But none of them felt like I should stay.

The first Temple
Many more days past. I meet a person in shiny armor. They called them self Wrog, they said they have a city called Portusburg. A great one. I got convinced to stay there for now. I also found out that this world is called Rathnir, I'm defiantly not on my home world anymore.

I found a place to build. After a small cave hut, I started to build a temple for her. For the Lady of the Silver Light. She gifted me with to knowledge to build it.

It took months and I'm almost done with the temple, maybe one more month.

Its bad, very bad. A war started, a civil war. The city I now live in against the nations its in. I don't know why, but I'm forced to stay indoors, can't build and can't even get food.

After weeks of war, the Lady of the Silver Light gifted me an ability to teleport to a random place and to return home later. I used it to get fresh food. It helped, praise the Lady of the Silver Light.

Sturmfels
On a later travel I meet a Princess, Princess Lily Prism. I asked her if she knows a place to live outside of the war. She said there are islands in northern Huitca without any people on. I may life there.

After moving there and a lot of bureaucracy over months. I became a citizen of Huitca and was able to start a town on one of the Ai Islands.

In the Summer of 96 SMP (2021-10-12) I started building a hut and than walls of my town Sturmfels on the island Sturmfels. After years of building there she stands Sturmfels, or at least her walls and a place to live in. I made my self Mayor and Lord of Sturmfels. So i'm now called Lord Albsi Swiftpaw von Sturmfels.

I at least was able to complete my first temple to the Lady of the Silver Light, after the civil war was settled in Portusburg, now Roseport.

I also started a map, no the map of the Huitca Federation.

What the future holds
There is more to come, I still build on Sturmfels, have the map of Huitca to update, the Ai Islands have a lot to do, I will praise the Lady of the Silver Light more and need to remember more about my past.
