Snippets from
Ledger’s Ledger
Step into the archives of a wandering archivist
Dearest Alyra – My friend it has been too long since I made it back home to visit you. I know that I gave you my word that when I made it back I would share all the glorious details of my adventures and yet my adventures keep taking my wanderings in other directions and not back to you. And so as the time passes my heart is heavy with the weight of that promise – especially since the promise came in response to such a huge act on your part – saving my life from Gribbet Two-Hammers (I didn’t MEAN to get on his bad side with my excitement and curiosity, but I’d never met one of his race before). So while I do not know when I will get to see you in all your glory again, I decided to, apart from my wild and chaotic ledger notes, start to tell some of the stories as I would share them with you. To put them down in a structured way and with the hopes that somehow across time and space they will reach you.
Ever Energetically Yours
– Ledger
