"Who am I? Where am I?"

I've travelled long from Dacia to west where I've heard to locate free land for mr to farm. This is all I can remember I rise up from the ground where I lie. I look around myself I see that I don't have much clothing on me nor much money on me.

I have forgotten my old name and most of my past. Until I can remember it I'll call myself acording to an old legend I heard long time ago, or at least I'd remember it so. I look at the sun, it is still high.

"So south is in there and thus this road goes from east to west..." I look the road to the west and east.

"I might as well follow this road untill I arrive in some place I wan't to be in."

After I have travelled for many weeks when I see an open plain surounded by hils and forest which i walked through. The valley is divided by river I see few cottages along the river not far from where I stand now.

Not long after I arrive near the cottages, but for my suprise when people notice me they stay still and stare me as I would be a ghost. I notice soon that they are all shorter and weaker than I am and oldest of them aproaches me and says.

"Welcome grate stranger! Who are you and Where do you come from?"

"My name is Väinämöinen. I do not know where I come from as I have very little memories of my past. I was hoping if I could settle down here with you as I've tired from travelling."

"But of course!" The man says with joy. "A man with with your stregth could be helpfull to us and if you do your share of the work we do not mind an another person among us."

"Thank you! May I ask are you the leader of this tribe?"

"Yes I am. But do follow me Well see a place for you to build your home and tell you what we do here for living before the night falls."

I follow the leader while others look at us. I can feel their stare on my back and not know if it's good or bad thing.

It has been few months since I arrived in this village and couple weeks after me another wanderer arrived.

We both have worked hard in the fields and with elder we have planned to build another village not far away from here as population of our tribe has increased and this way we can produce goods more eficiently.

I have gotten two letters from other tribes, these call themselves as kingdoms and nations what ever those mean.

I wish that more men would come to us as I've heard stories of great kingdom in south with man power never seen before. If my fear is right they won't hesitate to use it. May Gods protect us in future.
