14:28, 5 April 2012 Thyrh arrived in [[Golden Valley (server)|Golden Valley]] (on February 24, 2012). He was rather disoriented, drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness as he progressed through his assigned missions, often failing to recall even receiving the instructions he had been given. His vision was blurred and sporadic. He often just wandered blindly forward in the direction his instincts led him. Somehow, he was finally able to stumble into the portal which transported him to [[Freedom003|Exodus]].
(After installing a memory upgrade) Thyrh was much better oriented on [[Freedom003|Exodus]], but his problems were not over as he kept wandering into the claws and jaws of the local wildlife surrounding [[Undefined settlement|Esert]] which were plentiful on that day. Although he was not a religious man, the gods were patient with him, and granted him resurrection each time he was torn to shreds. They even allowed him to stumble upon his corpse every time save one - where he fell into a steep-sided mining pit which had previously captured a young [[lava fiend]].
Leaving his paltry sum of belongings with his corpse (which seemed a fortune to the young adventurer), he decided to change tactics. He would remain close to [[Undefined settlement|Esert]] for the time being, establishing a safe base where he could improve both his skills and his familiarity with the terrain of [[Freedom003|Exodus]]. He recalled a location he had seen which appeared to be an abandoned homestead. He had passed this site several times over the previous (three game) days - which seemed several weeks to him. Although there was no signs of active development, it had a decent [[forge]] near some [[Floor board|floor boards]] and an empty [[large barrel]] - all which required minor repairs. The location was just off the southern perimeter boundary of [[Undefined settlement|Esert]] at the eastern edge of the '''Calhadras''' range. Existing rock and iron mines were close by, and water was not far. Thyrh chose this to be his first homesite.
