I tried my luck in a district which is in a much better state than the other ones I´d visited before.
After a short time looking around, I found a house with the symbol of the guild of ink makers over the door – jackpot!
It seems to have been a storage for this guild. The door, which was very big and made of a heavy, stable stone (maybe even nara?) was broken, probably during the fall.

I went inside, always looking for falling walls (I´ll do that for some time, I fear …), and found a room filled with shelves. On each shelve there were dozens of big vessels, sealed, each with the symbol of the guild of ink makers on the front.

I decided to open one – and it was filled with a dark liquid – ink! And not any ink, if I´m right, but relehm!

Some of the seals of the vessels were broken, and the ink dried, some of the vessels were empty – but nevertheless I´ve now a really big supply for my work.

Fortunately I´m always wearing a hard hat when venturing into ruined districts… otherwise this could have ended badly for me. A big chunk of wall hit me on the head – it chopped a big scratch into my helmet. Another one touched on my arm, but only lightly.

I´m not hurt badly, except for a biiig headache… maybe I should see a doctor, just to be sure.

Besides from the headache, I brought nothing of value with me… the place is very much devastated. Not much left there.

After that I went to my Relto and once again examined the burnt linking book. From the looks of it, I more and more come to think it IS a descriptive book – so this age, Afelahn, is essentially defunct now. (or at least the link to it.)

I think, I´ll stay with the name for my own, very first written age – if all goes well, I´d like to set up a “base camp” or an office or something like that in the age … Relto is a nice place, but space is limited, and it can be quite cold sometimes, even with the fireplace activated.

But… without ink, I´m not even ready to start writing, which is really annoying right now.

If someone knows a place, where one can find ink, please let me know!

But I found another thing which will hopefully help me a lot learning the Art: a book of commentary, 200+ pages, all written in D´ni, of course. The age it belongs to I couldn´t find, though.

I´ll need the help of a really skilled translator now – any volunteers? No payment, but the warm feeling of having helped a promising young writer?

I´ll go for another “treasure hunt” today in the afternoon. If anyone looks for me, I´ll be in the city proper.
