Journal entry: 11th day of the 5th month of Summer
It has been a long summer full of new things. We had a group of travelers come by about a month ago and have since decided to stay and become a part of our village. At first, I was reluctant to allow them to stay, it can be dangerous allowing outsiders in. However, we need more man power and more people to help develop our village into a proper stronghold. My fear of Thule's scouts discovering this place before we are prepared increases every day. The group of nomads, as I've previously stated, arrived a month ago from the steppes: nomads of some sort. They tell me that they came from a desert far to the East where the grasslands of the steppes become a sea of sand. Their leader, an older man named Tim, is an enchanter who is wise and experienced. I was very interested in speaking with him. He told me of their lives in the dessert and of their hardships. He pleaded with me to allow him to stay with us and at first I declined. However, he was persistent and found ways to win me over. He used a device to blast rubble from the mountain side which allowed us to reinforce our outer walls with stone. He created a well in the town's center just out side of the Hall of Brotherhood so that we would not have to make journeys to the river. Tim has earned both my respect and loyalty and has since become a member of New Talos as well as the rest of his people. Thus our population has grown to be that of around 59 adults and 22 children (under the age of 13)
