Olaf sighed as he left Trinsic for the last time. Discarding his worn red cap and sash, throwing them to the ground near Trinsics main gate. He turned to look at the city one last time. The town truly was overrun with foul scum. Drow allowed to exist in a so-called town of Honour was a joke beyond jokes. Olaf knew he needed to be somewhere where such animals were not permitted.
Olaf travelled for many days before he reached the city of Britton. Such a grand city, so many people! So many taverns!! Olaf spent a few days hanging around the great city walking the streets and seeing the sights, including the two great castles of Lord British and Lord Blackthorn. Then one night sitting in a tavern he noticed a lass sitting alone. He took a slurp of his ale and went over to say hello. After some time chatting Olaf had discovered her name was Elora Carlye and she was an archer from Spiritwood. They also discovered they were both heading to Cove to join the army there! They finished their drinks and agreed to meet in the morning to travel together. Then they bid each other good night.
Next morning they met at the docks. Their task was to find a captain that would take them to Cove by ship. A few hours later and a large amount of haggling they had found just the captain they needed. A trader on his way to Cove with food and fine wine from the Yew area. Sitting on the small trading ship with his newfound companion Olaf smiled to himself and knew he had made the right choice in leaving Trinsic.
Things were already looking better with this fine looking lass at his side. During a three day voyage Olaf and Elora got to know each other well, spending many hours talking, laughing and Olaf occasionally hanging over the side of the ship throwing up after a bad combination of too much ale and no sea legs! By the end of the journey Olaf and Elora were engaged to be married! Olaf had also slowed his vast consumption of ale to a mere ten bottles a night!
Arriving at Cove docks Olaf set about searching for a residence around the Cove area for himself and his new lass. A fine looking building did he manage to find and rent from a local landowner and after a night or two the pair were settled in nicely.
A day later both himself and Elora were signed up to the local militia to begin thier life together as soldiers of Cove!
