Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zora" data-source="post: 3240735" data-attributes="member: 30156">Journal entry 12/15/06Dearest Grandfather,Amidst the splendor of the city and our newfound wealth, I have been untrue to myself.  I have just spent more money on a bottle of wine and some incense for a magic spell than I would ever have thought possible.  True, I have donated to the Covenant House in reparations for what I owe Covenant himself.  But more can be done.Although I can never truly repay the debt owed to him.We had dinner with Remmao al-Ka at his expansive estate.  It was for him that I purchased the wine.  A gift for helping us –out of the kindness of his heart- down from the temple’s spires.  He regaled us with a story of Covenant’s closest friend Osaze Mumbai and another friend Madu el Barake, who both have had their own new beginnings with the help of Covenant and Lathander.As fate would have it, Remmao’s family business is making flying carpets.  In fact, it was one of his grandfather’s that Pakkin and I used to assault Brimstone Keep.  I complimented his family on excellent craftsmanship, as it did what we needed, even whilst battered and tattered.On disheartening news, there is an active slave trade here in Calimport.  Whilst I find it not to my taste, I understand different cultures have their different beliefs.  It has heartened me to hear that Madu el Barake makes trips to Chult to return freed slaves.  If I had the resources, that would be a worthy enterprise.  Alas, my heart aches to return to Camber to help with the rebuilding.  That is first and foremost of my desires.  Once we come to a completion of our quest to find Covenant and his companions, I will make haste to return.Nekaya has found that there is an active temple to Elishar here in Calimport.  It has only a handful of attendants, but it exists nonetheless.  It is some disrepair, and while Nekaya and the rest were studying the history for clues to her lost god, and a connection to Covenant and his quest for the Sword of the Dreadnought and the Gauntlet of Dawn, I have made a list of supplies needed and work that can be done with myself doing the work.  I believe Telemnar will pitch in, as bighearted as he is.I find that while the sustaining ring is truly a blessing, I have had more than the normal allotment of time to think and ponder the world.  I am worried about Camber, and Serrah, and my friends there.  My thoughts go to my family, most notably my brothers and sisters.  Regrettably, every time I think I should spend money on a Sending spell to contact them, I am afraid of their response and their feelings towards their eldest brother.  Do they hate me?  Did they get my letter?  Have I shamed them more by leaving than by staying?I also long to talk to Serrah and hear how she’s doing.  Dumathoin keep her safe.  Will write more later, as I need to go buy supplies to refinish this temple.  As you’ve always said: “Busy hands create a clear mind”.</blockquote>
