To see even the light of a [[Lunari]] is something very few people have done. I am now very fortunate to have talked face to face with two Lunari. With [[Nethozokh]] assisting us last year, and now [[Zhethou]], it is evident the Lunari are paying very close attention to my expedition despite their apparent disinvolvement with [[Atalan]] and the [[Great Kings]]. They will not be of immediate assistance, however, as it still takes them a couple days to travel from [[Iswa]] to [[Etnyben]]. Prince [[Nomolo]], when you ascend to the throne, I recommend you invite the Lunari back to Atalan so the city may once again shine with their light.

After Zhethou’s departure today, there were many questions among us. I wanted to know the significance of the red cloth she tied to [[Pelmarco]]’s spear. He explained it was the red armband given to the very first [[Red Exemplar]]. He did not say if he knew the man’s name. [[Krista’Mil]] asked [[Rar]] what Zhethou meant by the desire of his heart, but he just gave her a big grin. It’s obvious to the rest of us that he’s smitten by her, so I think she just wanted to hear him say it. [[Elendra’Tel]] was curious about what Zhethou talked to me about. I told about our conversation, but I could not get either of the [[Sisterhood of Jadela'Mar|Sisterhood]] operatives to tell what took them all night to discuss with Zhethou in private.

After spending a day talking to one of the Lunari, continuing on one’s journey is difficult to do. However, we managed to mount our [[telef]]s and begin the journey south, back along the way we came. As [[Akmetan]] fades into the distance behind us, I have no doubt we are among the last people who will ever visit the city.

As we travel south, I want to stay closer to the mountains than before, perhaps even search for a route through or around them. I’d prefer to avoid the [[Huvudet]] lands if possible, so if we can have at least a small ridge between us, we should be fine. The Huvudets aren’t enemies, but they’re not exactly friendly either.

[[Mo’Amu]] no doubt missed me during the three days we spent exploring Akmetan. She was anxious to start traveling today, and uprooted several trees with her tusks while waiting this morning.
