Bored as ever, Mark uses his time to guard the Northern entrance to Shadowdale and when the situation allows it, he walks through Daggerhills to Freehaven to see the current status of the "city"
Thanks to the visits of his friends, Mark has begun to read a book of Ilmateri prayers, although most of the time it makes him more bored than what he usually is, at least, he has something to think about.
