Shipping off to Qalia

I have to say all the comments on the last blog have made me really really happy. Blogs are one of those things where you don't really know if anyone is reading. So thank you for commenting. I have seen some blogs where the writers just pour their heart out into huge essays and then give up because they just weren't getting the feedback, a sad sight. Rest assured this blog will not blogfade like so many others.

On a suggestion from a friend I went to go take a look at the dwarf city. It was night time so I didn't get to see it at its best, I bet it is beautiful in the sunlight.
I wanted to finish up some quests here in New Targonor before I headed off the Qalia to start on a popular quest everyone seems to be on. I investigated a fisherman's murder.
I took a picture of this statue. I think this might be the first good dark picture just because the guy is holding a lantern.
Once I finished my quests I head off to New Targonor.
It's time to say goodbye, I don't know how long I will be away from Thestra. Or when I will return to Kojan for that matter (that is something I would love to do).

Qalia is very different from the other two continents. I am not sure if I really like it. Here is the first thing I saw when I go off the boat from New Targonor.
And after I got myself some supplies I didn't waste any time getting out there into the thick of things. I met up with a new group of friends, found the quest I was told about, and got to work!

Ahh, much better!

I am so happy! I did something great, I went through one of those system optimization guides and my PC is running much better then before. I KNEW my computer had more in it then what I was getting. Now Vanguard looks twice as good and runs twice as good! You just can't beat that!

I was hunting animal skins but not having much luck. After I killed this guy I was happy to not that I could harvest him.. but he gave me cotton! Haha.

I went on a very fun quest today in Thestra. I won't go to in depth but I will tell you that it involved finding a high elf a dwarf and a halfling and hitting them over the head and stuffing them into a sack. I sure did get tired of dumping the bodies. Great to see some fresh and fun quests Sigil!

Late at night I was just awestruck by these ants near the falling star.

This was the first thing I saw after my system optimization. This is a dwarven dam somewhere in middle Thestra. Those dwarves are excellent engineers.


And finally my best picture of the day... that is the falling star in Thestra. Incredible.
