Finally Land

The trip seemed to last forever by ship to this new land. with not much space or privacy. The ship moving in the water made some sick others just seem to deal with it. Boyce sitting for hours would sit on the deck playing his archlute instrument for people on this ship to hear and enjoy. He would watch and learn of the ship's routines adding to what he knew about ships. There was not a lot to do on the ship. Playing, reading, sleeping when he could this was not his first trip on a ship and probably not his last.

The arrival was normal for the most part the people going about their business in this city of Ostiarium. Picking his pack up and other bags Boyce made sure everything was in its place, Boyce walked through the city of Ostiarium looking around making mental notes of anything of interest. He was getting his land legs back quickly and it was getting easier to walk as the day went on.

Boyce looked around the bustling port as all newcomers like Boyce seem to be lined up in groups by foremen and a couple of men in what you believe to be Colonial soldier uniform. At the edge of the dock, Boyce is seeing people register their name and occupation with a group of clerks gathered around a large leather-bound ledger. Boyce writes his name and occupation as a scholar. Then He was allowed into the city.

Stoneshade Keep stood tall and imposing to the west. Its four watchtowers dominated the city's skyline along with the only fortifications of note one could see. It was a new city. Built to last in places and built fast in others, as most new settlements tended to be.
