At this very moment we bounce around in our saddles as the horses carry us down the sandy road. Somehow I missed the exact moment when the proper, wide path, layered with cobblestones gave way to an uneven trail, trampled through the countryside by the hooves of hundreds of horses and camels - apparently our journey has only just begun.

Sands, sands, sands... We haven't stumbled on a single living soul in three weeks. Nothing but camels and dunes, silently observing our haggard procession of men and elves. Sometimes I feel like I'm losing my mind. What if our supplies run out before we reach our destination? I try not to think about it.

Damn these nomads! It seems they are determined to make sure we are not getting out alive. For four days we have been trying to escape them but they always catch up with us, loose a few arrows, and then swiftly retreat. We had to leave Jarum and Abad behind at our latest camping spot, they never regained consciousness.

The Host bless the Sand Guard! If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be writing these words... There were only seven of us when we spotted a cloud of dust on the horizon. At first we thought it to be nomads, and we prepared to say goodbye to our lives. Thankfully, it was a patrol of the Sand Guard. They accompanied us for the next week, until we arrived at the end of our journey. It was mostly uneventful - the nomads avoid the Sand Guard like fire. During that week's travels, I learned from their commander that nomads must be repelled with their own tactics. He also shared some useful advice on how to do it... I'll write everything down below.
