Diary,
The last few days have been a mixture of good and bad. I arrived in Bree, which seems to be the focal town in the area. Here I believe I have the best chance of joining a company that I can aid in their defence of Eriador. I got a room in the Prancing Pony, a nice inn despite the rotten bar and constant fooling around by drunkards. I was amazed at the size of the barkeep. Never have I seen a man of such a shape or size. It seems these people have luxurious lives and an abundance of food.
The first day or so was lonely, I spoke to a few people, and one man gave me a detailed history of the realm of Arnor. However I did not find a company to join. I also heard about a series of robberies going through the town, a pair of men jumping people and taking their valuables and their shoes.
The next day I met Rin who was carving in the inn. Remembering the days when pa tried to teach me to carve, I went over to say hello. We have now become friends, and she has introduced me to members of the sellsword company she is a member of. She has aso said that one day she will continue to teach me to carve. I feel her methods of teaching will be better than pa, who just got angry when I failed.
I am beginning to run out of coin, I have cancelled my room in the inn, so I can use that coin for food, and I have begun work on building a hut in the woods outside Bree. I just hope I never have to live in it. Gorlen, a member of the Bloody Dawn, one of Rin's friends gave me some advice when we talked last night. I found him stargazing, and joined him for the company. He suggested joining the Bloody Dawn, I could help people (albeit for a price) but and I would no longer want for money. I am still considering the thought, but it has taken a forefront place in my mind. Perhaps I shall, just while I set myself up in Eriador.
