Pilgrimage of the enlightened

go back to part 1...

pilgrimage-2.jpg


The second part of the pilgrimage will go up the north starting at the Marillion. Through Valhalla and Naerva into the foreign lands at Denver.
Due to the recent events of missing missionaires of the spiritualists, i will have to hurry up the roads. Only short reports will be possible, propably summarized up on the arrival.
The travel will propably take about 3-5 days.
I will pray in askese all the way up there to find them alive and in good health!

Code:
[B]day 06-08: valhalla to naerve (up to the north)[/B]
        my travel was fast and without and events being worth writing about. i did not
        care about anything around me. too busy with thinking about the lost souls, i
        was suddenly surprised when some people greeted me on the road... obviously my
        story is being known by the populace? i hope they will also support the fund.
        
        nevertheless, i also collected more evidence about the missing missionaires:
        a brother and a sister were seen some time ago traveling along the shore up to
        the north. they did obviously not care about the lost time when not using the 
        road. they were said to try to persuade the foreigners to join our great culture.
        
        i hope the americans did not treat them like we would treat "persuaders"...
[B]day 09: iron fields (crossing the border)[/B]
        i slept on our northern iron fields tonight. it really is cold up here and i can
        not understand why people want to live here... so unfriendly terrain.
        i ordered a barrel DBJ which arrived now and i will be crossing the american
        borderline after finishing this writeup.
[B]day 10-11: denver (babarians!)[/B]
        these were the saddest days in my live. i never could imagine humans could be
        so barbaric!
        
        when coming up from our lands into the city, the first sight i had was smoke and
        it smelled like burnt human flesh. continuing a bit further, on every tree along
        the alley were hanging people. with signs around their necks, saying "defector",
        "fanatikan lover", "spy" and such things.
        the regime here really seems to brutally suppress any tendency to defect to us.
        
        i really hoped the missionaires were not to offensive in their mission. other-
        wise i will propably find them hanging from above somewhere here.
        
        the streets of denver were cold and quiete. nobody to see. suddenly i heard
        steps of heavy army boots. i ducked into a house entrance and witnessed what
        really frightenes the citizens here:
        a "police" troops suddenly ran towards another house where lights were shining
        through the window. they pulled some people out of the house, and immediately
        killed them. after the lights were put out they continued their "patrol" as if
        nothing had happened.
        
        i had a bad feeling about this city, but continued cautiously my way into the
        city centre. and then there was a big *booomm*. and i heard this before!
        on t/w's assault, the same noise was made! i hurried forward and saw the patrol
        being gone to hell. they seem to have passed a cart which exploded at exactly 
        that moment. i walked over to the leftovers and suddenly was hit on my head.
        
        ...
        
        i awoke a few hours later... somewhere near the city... and the people were nice
        to me (which was surprising).
        they seemed to have noticed i was not from america and this lead them to tell me
        their stories...
        
        they were a resistance group trying to throw over the governor of the city. the
        cities populace was brutally suppressed for the last decades, but now resistance
        has formed there.
        
        after another day of inquiring and talking, i found that the missionaires really
        had been at the city. but they had to flee from it pretty fast to the west. they
        were lucky not being killed!
        
        the resistance fighters in america gave me a small package of herbs which could be
        used to heal any kind of illness. and a field-bottle of water.

        i will now start the next part of my travels to continue my search for them in the
        more western areas of our nation. a hint where they could be was RIGA. so there
        my feet will carry me.
 
Disorganiser, As Govenor of the North Provance. I welcome you to the Cities of the North Provance :).
 
Well, octavian, i hope so! Thats why i braught a barrel of our finest and our 3 holy books with me. I also would have brought some jelly with surrounding baked dough, but i didnt have time to buy them :-)

And i hope soon the city i visit now is really part of the northern province, civgeneral :-)

After the terrible sights in america, i will be traveling through fanatikan lands again! What a relief! Almost the direct way to Riga via Gunningheim and Androbius.
Expect about 7-8 days of travel.
Code:
[B]day 12-16: to Anbobius (eventless journey)[/B]
        my journey to the russians was rather eventless. i am now resting on our border
        at riga. i today noticed that my notes i took for the journey were lost.
        
        and this is strange... i noticed it because of a pigeon with a note from my
        secretary back to me that he did not get any notice of me arrived on a shot
        pigeon. and quess what?
        
        the crossbow bolt stuck in her was almost the same as the one striking me on
        the assault... the conspiracy still seems to be pretty active.
        
        i now send a messanger home to deliver this note. and i hope he will arrive
        safely.
        
        
        tomorrow, i will cross the border and begin investigations on the matter of the
        lost missionaires in riga. but i already hear rumors of them passing throug
        gunningheim and andobius before me, so i believe i am on the right track.
        
        more to come tomorrow...
 
Damn.... who would have thought the American regime could be so cruel? Those so-called "police" got what they deserved. Perhaps I will send a barrel of boompowder to the Resistance via an American acquintance of mine returning home....

Hopefully the citizens of this devastated city will be able to buck their oppressors and join our glorious and righteous Empire.

May the Spirits be with you on your journey, Lord Dis.
 
Disorganizer, I must know if you passage out of America was safe. If we have not heard, I will contact a few Knights of the Cedar staying in the area to attempt to find and resuce you if necesary. I may also ask leave Bavaria soon to assist you personally.
 
tge travel out of america was save. however my logs sent via pigeon post to my secretary at TSort for the journal were lost. i will resend them later for the records.

I heard rumors of a terrorist camp in the mountains south of RIGA! I will immediately hurry to survey the are there. And as soon as i find the missionaires i will call for a rescue mission!

Expect to hear more today!

Code:
[B]day 17: terrorist encounter (rescue the missionaires)[/B]
        i will go ESE to the mountains near riga. a terrorist camp seems to be there
        and the missionaires seem to be held captive at that camp. as the terrorists
        threathened the mission to kill them soon, i will have to hurry up.
        
        may the deities be with me!


        THEY ARE THERE! AND STILL ALIVE!
        
        i spotted the missionaires in a camp on the north slope, almost at the top of
        the mountain. the camp consists of about 6 barracs.
        i counted the horses in front, and as there are 25 horses there, i assume also
        25 terrorists in the camp. but i only have visual contact to about 10 of them
        plus 5 other citizens. the 2 missionaires and as it seems also 3 other yet not
        known people being held captive and tied up in a huge barrac in the middle of
        the camp. 5 smaller barracs are around this big barrac, and on those 5 barracs
        each 5 horses are tied up.
        
        i will continue surveying the area, as i suspect guards in the surroundings.

details on the resulting fight between the rescue forces and the terrorists can be obtained here.
 
I too have heard of this camp, and I was there when the threat reached the Mission. I am riding from the Marillion to the camp. There is no time to waste. Hopefully I will meet up with you there.
 
I believe there is a knight of my order in that area. He is excellent with the bow, and can make accurate shots from a mile off. I will ask him to go to the area, and dispatch as many Knights of the Cedar as I can, if you so only ask for the assistance.
 
the fight is over for the moment. the missionaires are freed. follow link a few posts above for details.

The fight is over. Nevertheless, some terrorists could flee. And we have nobody to investigate who is behind that plot. And it also has a strange and unsound touch... The question should be... WHO is the person behind those attacks against our society? Not the small group leader too dumb to do it right... the big intelligent head behind those...

Code:
[B]day 18: after the attack (strange things happen)[/B]
        ***disorganizer lights his smoke and wanders around***
        who was it? why? how? this all is strange... something is missing, or maybe
        we did not see something we aught to see. i will have to look closer...
        
        hmmm. this writing... nothing i have seen before. not russian, not american.
        and not aztekian... now this is strange.
        looks like a secret code or a foreign language.
        
        i have seen it before... but where?
        
        ***disorganizer sees a track of fresh footprints***
        no this is interesting. they go from a huge tree on top of the camp to the 
        south. none of our people where there...
        
        ***me starts following the track***
        maybe its old prints... but maybe... we missed some of them...
        if we could only get them alive!
        
        i will follow the track. maybe we will get some more information. but i doubt
        it. they will propably lead to nowhere.
        
        ***after a while***
        now this is even more interesting! a small piece of paper is sticking on a bush.
        what does it read? seems like some kind of map.
        in the middle, there is the city of Izibia. Well, i will go there now. The marked
        track on the map is going to a mountain near Izibia, and maybe i will find my
        answers there...
        
        so we are now on our route to foreign lands again!

....more to come in a few days...
