The Wanderings of Harr J'qarr
« on: February 01, 2018, 06:01:20 PM »
A thick book, but small enough to be kept in the breast of one's tunic. The pages are yellowed and roughly cut, but plentiful and sewn into a soft backing of brown supple leather. It is kept closed with a long thong of the same material. Inside, a practiced hand scrawls notes in lampblack ink.

J'qarr has been told he should keep a journal. For what purpose, he does not know. After all, J'qarr can speak to himself any time he wishes.

J'qarr has been introduced to this strange land. It is nothing like his home. So cold, this land, and damp. Bitter cold. Truly, it is a cursed land. Also, he has learned of dead that here walk the night, wolves that change shape. This is troubling, but less so. J'qarr must find warmer clothing.

J'qarr has learned of Tsuika. He thinks it is a poor excuse for wine. It is fortunate, yes, that the strength of the drink can make one forget the taste. At least J'qarr can be warm on the inside.

J'qarr has met many in the short space since his arrival. Many groups, yes. Much politics. J'qarr has little patience for politics. All men can be allies to J'qarr.

Today ice fell from the sky. A greater terror J'qarr has not known. It blankets the ground in wet, cold sheets. Perhaps J'qarr died that night on the caravan, and this is hell. What J'qarr could have done to earn such a punishment, he does not know.

The crows wish J'qarr to join their flock. J'qarr thinks their feathers are strange.

J'qarr has discovered a brown, foamy drink. It is called pissvasser, or so says Joachim. He does not trust a man's word on this, for he speaks very strangely. Perhaps something is wrong with him?

J'qarr has met a girl today. She is a strange creature, this. Shy and nervous, but she reminds him of home. J'qarr hopes a girl's father will not crush him. The land would weep for the loss of J'qarr.

Today J'qarr discovered potatoes. It was a good day.

J'qarr has traveled far, seen much, and listened keenly. His parts are tired. It is much work, to be J'qarr.

J'qarr is a simple man. He likes a girl, wine, and potatoes.

J'qarr is done writing for now.

J'qarr discovered a new cave today, many wonders within. He will have to visit it more, he thinks.

J'qarr has heard of many gods, but so few have heard of J'qarr. This is tragic, for the conversation would be most interesting.

In J'qarr's land, it was common for men of wealth to take many wives. J'qarr finds this most curious, as he is unable to keep even one happy.

On the next page, nothing has been written. Instead, charcoal drawings depict a number of desert animals. Of the renderings, one creature has been given particular attention.

J'qarr was once convinced by a man to take up the trade of alchemy. He is now convinced this man hated J'qarr.

J'qarr cares not if it is a brothel. In all of country, is only good source of wine.

J'qarr has seen wererats and bats and wolves, but it is the minks that worry him most greatly. Vicious creatures, these.

It is a difficult thing to live multiple lives, so many struggle with leading just one.

J'qarr does not understand the fuss over horses. Why would he want one? Their meat is too tough.

She was the first time in this land a man welcome, a home a man had never known. Now he seems only to disappoint her. Is she so fickle? Or is he just a failure?

J'qarr has nothing clever to say to this. Perhaps he was meant to be alone.

This one is made of curious. It is often his undoing.

A prior page has been ripped out, the sketches now missing.
Today the sun fell from the sky. All the beasts of the earth mourned her passing.
