This is another part of the journal kept by a Teir’Dal, relating experiences during the War of Fay.

Another volume from the diary of one young Teir’Dal soldier, written during the War of Fay. This volume tells of the Teir’Dal ships landing on Faydwer.

The ships passed beneath the teleportation arch.

There is no sound save a soft thrumming that hangs in the air above us. Mist curls up from the surface of the sea, covering each ship in thick draperies.

No matter how often I have made this journey, I am always amazed that no ships have ever collided in the fog.

When my ship clears the mists, I can see the prows of the other vessels breaking through as well.

Behind me, I hear the rich voice of the Cantor rising in song, calling forth the winds again to propel us toward Faydwer.

Drawn from War of Fay: Crossing the Faydark in-game book.EQ2Primary · mirrored · best available source

This is another part of a journal written by a young Teir'Dal soldier during the War of Fay.

During the War of Fay, many things changed or were forgotten. This book provides one person's perspective, all the more interesting as this person was part of a secretive Teir'Dal unit during the War of Fay.

Travel by dark, rest during the day. The pattern repeats.

The Cantor and I hear the skirmishes around us but do not become involved; our mission is different.

At least mine is. Or was. The team leader pushed the Cantor to group with me and said it had always been the plan.

If that is so, then no one had bothered to tell me. I resent it.

The Cantor sense my anger. She does not speak with me, communicating only by gestures and glances.
