Ah.. my calling; to adventure. This log marks my first exploration, in a series of many, of the Tatooine planet. I'm here to find those little pieces of history we often forget and have left behind. Each moment of our lives leaves a footprint for others to follow, windows through which one can taste a piece of what we have experienced. Tatooine is rich with history and I'm here to uncover it. Dodging the common horrors of the planet, I hope to come out in one piece and with a little more information about the world around us.
But who really am I? I am Tinrilo "Adventi" x'Rilsam, self-proclaimed Explorer Extraordinaire. Of course, I was not always an explorer. I've recently retired from the Royal Security Forces on Naboo, having served in many battles, wars and gruesome memories I'd like to forget. I'm old in age and in spirit, although more so the latter; I've lived my life and I've seen great things. I've seen my children thrive, peace achieved. I'm an old veteran of life. Finally, I can turn my eye to my passion and dedicate the rest of my existence to it. History... those fine threads of the past we often severe, delicate tunnels to the fading memories just beyond our reach. Bah! Enough of my ramblings. Let's see what we find today. Destination... Tatooine!
230.341 - Spy's Haven (5943, 180, -3828)
Equipped with expensive computers and gadgets, I found what I'd like to call "Spy's Haven" while exploring the deserts in the south eastern area, near Mos Eisley. While approaching, I could see the jawa closing in, barely able to keep their tricky little hands to themselves as the computers went about their business. Obviously, the site was "fresh". I assumed it had only been abandoned for one, maybe two days. Even with my advanced slicing skills, the computers refused to release their information. I'm going to assume that members of the Alliance were stationed here before run off by the local wild life. On to more interesting subjects..
456.076 - Mosor's Maze (-3043, 0, -5127)
I nearly smacked into Mosor's Maze while trying to escape the local wildlife on my speeder. The bowcats are indeed a fickle, dangerous creature. I was able to duck into the mouth of the maze and hide while the bowcats past me by. Luckily, this trusty maze had been here when I needed it. I remember playing here as a kid, getting lost for hours. To rekindle the memories (history in of itself!), I decided to test it out myself. Unlike my childhood, I was able to get out of the maze easily. Ah, the memories.. Rumor tells us the story behind such a design of the imagination, although not a happy story at best. It is said Mosor came home from war and found his wife with his best officer, Polen. Previously, Polen had to be dismissed due to an "accident". Enraged, Mosor had the maze built as a monument to his promise of revenge. It was on the night of its completion that Mosor drugged his wife and her lover on Vasarian Brandy, dragging them to the maze in the whispering darkness of the night. He sealed them in thereafter, leaving them to die in the heat of Tatooine merciless gaze. The walls of the maze have since been brought down, but no corpses were found. Are the rumors true? Or was it just a tale our mothers told us to keep us out of there? I guess we'll never know.
076.341 - Hero's Grave (-3675, 38, -1649)
The Hero's Grave. I received the location from a friend of mine who also retired to pursue history. Clues left by the keepers of this site tell us it is a grave, belonging to some of the first settlers of Tatooine. Small graves surround a center stone which we believe may house the remains of the leader. Much is unknown about this place.. Unfortunately, any evidence left from history, save from the small carvings in the rocks, has been stolen long ago and only tall stones remain as a testament to their glory and achievements.
For now, we leave Tatooine. I am headed to Naboo while my partner in history is traveling to Dathomir. I wish him well and safety.
