Dangerous exploration

I undertook a dangerous, yet exciting, journey today. I ventured to the Sands of Ro. Everything there was quite above my experience and ability. I was pounded a few times, but it was worth it! I realize it is different now than it was in my mother's day, but I got to see the Oasis of Ro and Orc Highway. I can remember my mother's tales of killing crocs (they are still there) and taking care of orcs on Orc Highway (there are no more orcs there, but lots of giants and Rujarkians. I do plan to go back once my training and experience allow me to survive a little longer. I also took a less dangerous trip to the commonlands and a place called the Fallen Gate. I was there to meet up with some people so I didnt get a chance to explore but I would like to go back soon.
