I arrived a little past midnight ....the moon was still bright and the air was still. I had sailed for some time not knowing where I was going exactly ...as I was not conscious of my destination...Only aware of the vision of the Sanctuary and the Two elven women who appeared to be speaking to one another. One of the ladies wore a long robe of the Magi sort the kind I had seen in the towers back home ......and the other wore elaborate armor of fine crafting. It is this vision that I have chased as I am certain this is where I must go.......to the city of Baldurs gate ....Perhaps I shall find sure ground ...a clue to the vision. But first I will rest I am weary of the sea and she is weary of me .......perhaps this inn will do ....this red knight will have a cold drink and no waves of the sea will disturb my trance at long last.......No more travel...

I have met the women in my vision....the one who wears the armor ornate and finely crafted is called Lady aloria. She rules along with the white council ...it is the council who decides the laws and the way in which this group of Tel quessir live.....As I have observed they the elves of doron amar are tradtional and the Seldarine pantheon is observed by all the elves....this is most pleasing and I find myself content in serving in whatever way I can ......The elven sanctuary was burned down recently .....a grave last resort to throw the advancing orc forces of the trail....It was indeed a sad time for all... I have found a comfortable balance healing and defending those I come across....I spend many days in the woods at a time ...I find the hunt for the orc brings a sense of purpose as I despise the orc with a furvor I am not proud of ...alas may the gods forgive my trespass ...taking life should not be done with such disdain.....The other woman in my vision Is called Dajala Silverleaf she is also one of the leaders here a very kind a gentle soul head magi of Ahrn Ar Ruar, the Elven Arcane Academy. I have not meet many other elves here some of them are very fickle and unfriendly ....quite unelven to my taste ..but non the less i will give my life for the people as I have pledged service....There is another named wthyran ..I admit at first I was disgusted with him....he is one of the leaders here a night hunter ...His very manner bothered me from day one...I was very confused as to what Lady aloria saw in the him at all.......but it became clear after the siege to me that he is indeed not what he seems....and with that I will overlook his bad manners and coarse behavior. There is much to learn from these elves of Doron Amar I will see to it .

The Tel Quessir of my homeland .....have been most fortunate.. for thousands of years they have lived in peace with the surrounding communities who consist of mostly human settlements. My people have always studied the ways of others races in pursuit of knowledge and understanding. We have a tradition ..every 100 years we send one of our own to a temple or church of his choosing .. there he or she studies the ways of the deity of choice...this is done sincerly.....100 years later that elf will return to the homeland ...report his finding and experience of said faith to the elders of the seldarine who then commit what has been learned to the great library for archiving. I am one of these elves.....the 20th to be exact ...this is how I came to serve the Red knight. Though I still observe the pantheon of my people ....my pledge to the diety is real and I follow the code there by...... Now in these new lands I continue my service to the Deity by serving these honorable Elves of the Doron Amar as a healer and warrior.

The meetings have been going well so many Tel Quess gather... at a camp near gullykin ...I enjoy listening to all the fickelness of my cousins as they debate .conversing on the future of Doron Amar.....The lady Aloria has left us to search for elrith one of her dears friends...I have never met her ..but she is spoken of in tales as a great warrior of the elven people...I shall pray for her safety and the safe return of them both.......the Alata Erulisse has been dissolved temporaraly.... the council beleives it best we diviners .priests get to know the people ....I however await the one who will come to bring the priesthood together .....in the meantime we train and learn the ways of our people in this land . Many new Tel Quess have joined us ...our numbers grow and our people recover steadly from the orc incursion.....Alas the day is almost over and my quiver is empty...

Who is the Red Knight? Some have asked this ...So I have complied some information ......

Taken from the Forgotten realms wikia

The Red Knight, or the Lady of Strategy, is the Faerûnian deity of strategy and battle tactics and an exarch of Tempus.[1] Her dogma dictates the use of careful tactics in battle to achieve victory, under the belief that sound strategy is the best way to win a battle with the most favorable outcome. Her symbol is a red 'knight' chess piece with stars for eyes.

The Red Knight is worshiped by generals, tacticians, lawful-minded warriors and paladins alike.

The Red Knight looks to Tempus as a father figure and it is only he who knows her true name. If anyone else discovered this they would gain insight into every strategy and every war plan throughout the planes.
Another ally of the Red Knight is Torm. The duo are well-known to be very close, but whether they are friends or lovers is something they've kept to themselves. She also works closely with Valkur, god of naval warfare and another exarch of Tempus. Her enemies include Garagos and Cyric.

She is known to have good relations with Tyr, god of Justice.

There was rumor of a gathering of the Doron amar at the camp in Gullykin...And so I left my hunt on the cloakwood and set off. The trip to gullykin ...is minimal risk if one goes the the sharpteeth route ...And so that is how I went this eve.....As made my final turns....I could hear battle and there seemed to be more wolfs about than normal...I dashed and made my way into the village...the site was dreadful as my kinsmen fought of wave after wave of a wolfs and worgs.......I joined the battle and did what little I could to heal and support my brave kinsmen ....I was moved by the valor displayed by our reslience and unshakeable defense of the Hin village....the battel was long and ardous ..many hin and elf fell many where saved......

The sanctuary is well underway.....the grounds have been laided , the landscape made ready........the preparations complete. A strong foundation defendable and purged land. The elves speak about the future ...many opnions are given many plans made........it seems a promise was made to Sir jonas and there is to be a square made in his honor....perhaps this will be first constructed or maybe a ...Inn of some kind. the council is taking input into account and preparations are being made........I myself could care less of names of building or which ones are to be first.....I am confident the council will plan accordingly ....and rest easy. I spend most my time patroling the surrounding area..as the sanctuary's borders are very dangerous ...the wolves ....the orc bands and many other...dangers lie in wait......but this is way every sanctaury is made...why would one need a sanctaury if all was well and the land was safe.....? I suppose it is as my teachers have always told me ...in times of peace prepare for War! ..and in times of War prepare for peace!

So much has changed...diversity ..colorful....personalties...like rainbows...inside flower seeds. The land is alive and its surface is forever caught in the dance of change. I... a humble servant..a ship on stormy sea's with no sail ...tossed about ...my Gods put me where I am. The road is long and the shadow is all to famaliar......when the sun is shining....at one's back.
My travels have been uneventful....As time goes on .. my desire for battle grows more .. and more. I find myself constantly on the hunt ....for that which will fill my cup with the lives of my foes....the Drow ...darrow...the dark ones... fill it to the brim ...I do give thanks in silence to the gods.. I also pray for release from the desire for war....as it is not ....the way to peace proper...but alas ..I only wish for a glorious end. Perhaps i will find it ...but for now I need rest...Doron Amar is only 2 days away. Within its borders...my war lust will sleep.
