September 24th, 3018 TAWord reached me today of father's passing. It is a difficult thing to accept and even harder to write about, but in light of the choices I am about to make I fear it would be wise to put word to paper. Some record must remain if I too, might fall into shadow.
It seems almost unbelievable that someone as strong as father might fall, I have seen his prowess in combat before and have heard many a Neránian tell tales of his swordsmanship. If the letter is correct, he fell to no ordinary opponent, however.
The courier said the letter had come from my brother Mythgar and even with our years apart I still recognize his elegant scrawl.
Leadership of The Neránians has been given unto him now, I only pray he is strong enough to lead. I love my brother with all my heart, but he was always so gentle...though father wished much of him I always felt his soul played more to the quill than it did the blade. Yet time can change a man, and he is Rohirrim.
Sooner or later the call comes to us all and, in Mythgar's case that call is now.
That is why I have decided to leave Aldburg and travel to big brother's side.
September 24th, 3018 TA - Second Entry:I have spoken with my mother Kehyali, and it is decided. Tomorrow I leave for Bree-land.
