Captain's log
6th day of the 9th month
Cove were apparently coming to Yew yesterday evening
(now there's a bloody change) so as the guardsmen milled around I took it upon myself to promote Footman Cox to Rookie, since he'd completed his quest but a certain male Sergeant who shall remain nameless has been slacking.
Cove turned up shortly after and we all stood in a line up whilst Caden had a chin-wag with their commanding officer.
Seems they'd discovered a gorget belonging to Lord Rothermere.
I was asked to fill in details on Rothermere, details I had few of.
All I remember was shortly before the Guy D'Mirio nonsense, Rothermere was in Stonekeep looking rather frail and bedraggled whilst on an official visit during our medal ceremony. He needed help onto his horse when he was leaving, I obliged and escorted him over the barrel path where if I remember correctly he told me he could carry on from there. That was the last I saw of him and he apparently died a few weeks after.
They found the gorget in a Jukan horde or something. Why would the Juka have Rothermere's gorget?
Anyway - After that we all went up to the Citadel roof where the Militia and Cove were hitting one another. Everytime a Yewman wandered into the arena all the Covians set upon him. Even had it happen to myself. Managed to maim a few of them whilst it happened, mind.
Today I've been busy devising a new game to play, however it's not exactly coming along in leaps and bounds.
I also spent about ten minutes debating with myself this morning before I left the house whether I should leave my bows behind and pick up a sword or two. You can bet the time I forget the bows I'll need them and I certainly can't carry a bunch of maces, swords, bows and ammunition. I'll be weighed down like Walker after lunch.
