Astinus' Office

Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn.

The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a giant book to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Blit' scribed in glowing purple ink. As you glance down at the page you read..

                                  Journal
 
It is the month of Chistlmont, year 352 PC (Post Cataclysm)
 
Its a cloudy day, I think the a storm is coming in on me. The raft 
I'm in is becoming quite the sailing vessel. I'm sure it'll be able
to handle whatever the seas throw at me. As for the supplies i
have they are running out quick. I need to find some land and get
some more. 
 
Seems like I haven't even been out here that long. I need to get my 
own ship and crew. Finally make a real living besides the few fish
I bring to be sold. This trip wasn't the worst. Soon though with all 
my savings I'll have enough to buy my own ship one day. 
 
Maybe its time I joined a crew though. The pay would be better. Wouldn't
have to buy all my own supplies. I think I will. I guess I should start 
rowing, lightning is starting to streak the sky.
 
Next stop Palanthas and to find a ship!
 
I'll still keep Zebby, she is my vessel and been through everything with
me.
