30th of Sun's Dusk, 3E 404
I've been having second thoughts about this journey, surely there had to be a more suited option than myself for this? But what could I do? Say no to the Emperor? He probably wanted my Breton blood to help me go unnoticed in Daggerfall, but there are hundred of better magicians with far more training at the Arcane University that he could have selected. Perhaps I should return home and consult with my parents. No, I shan't put them in danger as well, and too I am not eager to tell Father about the fate of his beloved staff. This shall be my burden that I carry to the end.
Captain says we should be docking in Daggerfall's port in a little over a month. At the very least I will be home to bring in the new year.

Well, that was interesting. A messenger came from Emperor Septim requesting my audience near to midnight, and when I arrived I found only him and what I assumed to be one of his Battlemage advisors in his study. Not the most comfortable meeting for sure, but the Emperor's presence is something to admire. He has ordered me to leave on the morrow to the Kingdom of Daggerfall to put to rest the spirit of Old King Lysandus. Quite simple to be sure. I don't know what I did to garner his attention, perhaps the deeds of my father during the war against Tharn were greater than I was led to believe and he believes me equally capable, but it truly is an honor to have been personally selected for this task. I am to gather my things and meet the crew at the docks early tomorrow to set sail. The mission must remain secret of course, but I will write one last letter to mother letting her know that I am following in their footsteps and will serve the Emperor well.
