First Week of Kalendryas
Fenn had made it to Chelseanna by boat from Estelgorod and then through the canal to the Cancello Del Passeggero. His entire trip by water had amazed him, for he had never been to Eunesia before and it was truly a sight to be seen. Lately, Fenn's only experience on the high seas had been aboard a pirate vessel. And after he was thrown off, well, he had sworn off sea voyages with any company less than the Imperial Navy. Still, the voyage from Estelgorod to Chelseanna was short and he was with a boatload of other visitors to the island province.
The glistening white buildings were quite lovely in their appearance, cleverly decorated and new to the eye. Fenn had been around for several hundred eras, so anything new to his eye brought with it excitement of the unknown. While standing on the docks of the Cancello Del Passeggero, he couldn't help but feel like he was on vacation... the atmosphere was so relaxed and fresh, the smell of salt water and the sound of seagulls in the air. It was, simply put, beautiful.
With his lute strapped to his back and a single large duffle bag, Fenn made his way toward one of the decorated guards on duty. Their hats were almost too silly to take them seriously, but a guard was a guard and at least some were fully capable of their duties. Fenn was traveling light for an elven noble, but the truth was, he was coming to live here in Chelseanna, at least for a while and he could be purchasing clothes and needs here in the local stores.
"Why have you come to Chelseanna?" the guard asked, his accent thick.
"I've come on business... to get one going so to speak," he said as he retrieved his visa and handed it to the guard.
The guard looked at the visa and immediately a light went off in his mind. He knew of the Gil'daes, quite well in fact. They had vacationed here before and the head of House Gil'dae had not long ago come to Chelseanna and started a tea shop which many were talking about. This elf was elven nobility.
"Yes, of course, lord Gil'dae, this way..." he said with a big, welcoming smile. "Are you in need of any assistance? Shall I call someone to carry your bag or do you need directions?"
Fenn grinned, his family's reputation had proceeded him. "Thank you, but I can carry my bag. I would have someone bring me my horse, it is aboard the ship. And directions I could use... which way to the Aedile?"
The guard smiled, ushering Fenn toward the city, whistling to another guard and making a signal, "Of course, the Thanal tower will have all of the information you need... it's the large tower ahead, you can't miss it my lord." The other guard rushed to retrieve Fenn's horse and brought it to him shortly.
Fenn thanked him and walked into the city, "And to the Thanal tower it is then," he thought to himself.
