My power grows. I've trained right under the noses of the Qeynos guard, and now, I am ready to leave my instructors and begin to study on my own. I have surpassed them, and it is time to begin studying on my own. I cannot remain here, however, as the magic I have chosen to devote my life to is forbidden in this city.
I have gathered all that I need. My instructors were reluctant to let me... borrow... a few tomes from the collection that I wanted. I convinced them to allow me to use them. I also found a mysterious black stone on one of them after our discussion. I can feel some power emanating from it, and I believe it might be useful. Now, I must make my way out of the city before they are discovered.
I've made my way out of the city, and into Qeynos Hills. Although I don't feel threatened by anything out this way, I do need to find a place to continue my studies. I do need to keep an eye out for Holly Windstalker, though. Although she isn't tied directly to the guards of Qeynos, I have no doubt she would be happy to drag me back to them if given the chance.
Excellent. I managed to find a set of ruins, which proved to be fortuitous in a couple of different ways. First, it is well outside of the eyes of the Qeynos guards, and secondly, it contains several complete humanoid skeletons, which I can put to immediate use. This way, I can set up an ample defense while I conduct my other experiments in peace. This should be exactly what I need.
My guards are now in place, and have already proven to be effective. A few adventurers approached my ruins, and attempted, I assume, to collect on a bounty that Qeynos likely placed on me. My skeletons and I made short work of them, and now I have a couple more guards for my ruins. I also noticed that the glowing black stone I found appears to be helping me focus better - I can feel some manner of energy flowing from the stone, and into me. This object is quite useful indeed.
I am comfortable here. I think I would like to have my skeletons begin helping me to build up the ruins a bit, both to be more defensible, and because, simply, I want to make that which is mine even more grand. I have made great strides in my studies since coming here, and I believe I am on my way to a breakthrough... to an ancient process that might allow me to study forever. And eventually, perhaps return triumphantly to Qeynos with my undead armies in tow.

A Dire Warning This item can be placed on the wall in any house type.
Day 14 Another clear day. It's been a couple of weeks since we left the Butcherblock docks, and overall, this trip has been very smooth. Mr. Till says that one of the barrels of provisions seems to have spoiled, though, so we tossed it overboard. Hopefully that will be the last of our troubles.
Day 16 It's calm again today. Too calm - there's barely enough wind to push the ship forward. What should have been a 20 day journal is looking it it will be far longer than that. Compounding our problem is that more of our provisions have turned up to be spoiled. We've barely enough for the crew now, and that's only if we don't encounter any more trouble.
Day 18 We are almost out of food, and more importantly, fresh water. We can't make it to port now on what we have without losing crew members to thirst. We're going to have to find somewhere to restock our supplies, at least enough to get back. Ah, good news - one of the lads was able to see some smoke on the horizon. It looks like we have someplace to go.
Day 19 We came upon an island which appears to be inhabited by a tribe of goblins. They attacked us nearly as soon as we made landfall, but we were able to deal with them easily. We found some fruits on the shoreline, but still need some fresh water. The good news is that with fruit and the presence of the goblins, there is certainly some to be found.
Day 20 We found water, but the goblins attacked us again. They changed their tactics this time, and assaulted us with nets instead of spears. Although we drove them back, they dragged off two of the crew members with them. It's too dark to follow tonight, but we are going to find them at first light.
Day 21 It was horrifying. We tracked the goblins, and found where they were. It took most of the day, and we arrived at their camp at sunset. They had tied the crewmembers to stakes on the shore, and were chanting, yelling, and playing strange drums. We didn't want to wait for whatever ritual they were planning to subject our mates to, so we sprung into action. They goblins were caught off guard, and tried to mount a defense... all except the goblins playing the drums.
continued We were puzzled, but were overpowering our foes. Just when it seemed that were on the verge of victory, the water just off shore began to roil. The goblins raised their voices in a cheer, and chanted in unison. We were dumbstruck - all any of us could do was watch the events unfold before us. Suddenly, the water began to part, and a gigantic creature began to make its way out of the sea. I have never seen anything so huge - a massive reptilian creature, larger than any ship, marched its way to the shore. We turned to run, but the beast was fast. Although many of us escaped, some were trampled under the feet of the creature. Be warned - if you are traveling within the Ocean of Tears, this creature lurks in the depths.

Legacy of Guk or What History Remains Kruuk Glugop
Our people are a strong people. With Mithaniel Marr behind us, we have endured many catastrophes in our history, and have always managed to come back stronger than before. Recently, we were able to rise against the vile trolls, and took the city for our own, as Gukta, the Outpost of Marr. The trolls have been unsuccessful in reclaiming the city, and Mithaniel willing, they never shall.
The ancient home of our people, Guk, was not so lucky. It was consumed by a curse unleashed by Innoruuk and the troll villain known as Ykesha. Many of our brave warriors were trapped there, either taken by surprise due to the attacks, or they stayed behind to fend off the undead hordes long enough to allow the rest of our people to escape. Now, in a dark twist that makes me shudder, they have joined the ranks of the walking dead.
Many of us have wondered if there is a chance to study who from our history might be still wandering the depths of Lower Guk, and what might be learned by discovering this information. I am to accompany a group of adventurers who are currently resting here within Gukta, and I will see if I can learn this information. We leave at dawn.
It took some time, but we were able to make it to a small chamber near a few precarious walkways. It was here that we found the first interesting member of the cursed frogloks. As we rested, we began to hear a sound off in the distance. It first sounded as if it came from above us, then it seemed to circle around to the sides of our small camp. It seemed like it was looking for a weakness in our defense. Then, suddenly, it was silent - we heard nothing more. When we were ready to leave, we began to look for the source of the sound, but could not locate it. Just when we had given up, a black-colored froglok ghoul leapt at us from the shadows, and directly at our warrior. He was just fast enough to deflect the attack and together we were able to beat the creature back. However, I always had the feeling it was there... watching us, just out of sight.
Further in, we found another strange room, where it seemed like the ghouls themselves would not even enter. We could hear a strange sound coming from it - something like a breathing, but more like a constant hiss, and the sound of rushing wind, almost as if something inside could not remain still, and moved incredibly fast. We approached cautiously, but it became evident that whatever we had heard, had heard us as well. We were instantly set upon by a creature of tremendous speed. It was a ghoul like the others, but was blindingly fast. It seemed chaotic in its attacks as well - one of us would be hit, then suddenly another would feel the sting of the creature's unrelenting attacks. We were able to land a magical shackle on the beast, which caused it to howl in anger. Immediately we fled the area - this creature proved to be too mighty for our group, and we hoped to leave it behind us.
Finally, we came upon the throne room. Fighting our way through, we spied the dais and throne on the far side of the room. We dispatched the guards, and before us we could see what appeared to be the ruler of Lower Guk - the Ghoul Lord. Once a noble paladin of Marr, this creature is now twisted and corrupt, only a shell of what it once used to be. We engaged the beast at my urging, as I thought it would be best to end the eternal suffering of this once noble froglok and hopefully return his spirit to Marr. We were not ready for the strength of this opponent in darkness, he had grown stronger. He felled our warrior nearly immediately, and it was all we could do to parry off his strikes, and carry our comrade to safety. We escaped with our lives, but truly, the curse of Ykesha is still strong within the depths of Lower Guk.

A very rare and expensive piece that easily dates back to the days of the Age of Turmoil.
The Orb of Mastery must be mine. I came across the knowledge of this artifact when I met the gnome known as Rykas while traveling through Lake Rathetear. His words led me the story of Trilith Mag'kot, and ultimately, to the Orb itself. Evidently, there is fear that this knowledge will bring about the end of the magician order, but I admittedly cannot resist the idea of wielding the raw power of the elements as my own. I will collect the necessary elements, and the Orb will be mine.
Element of Earth: Dirt of the Underfoot - Found. I was able to "convince" Klex to hand over his sample of the dirt. Staff of Elemental Mastery: Earth - Found. I was able to travel to the Plane of Hate itself, and after defeating some of the vile creatures found therein, I came across this mystical staff. Broom of Trilon, and the Shovel of Ponz Found. After speaking with Vira in the Temple, I collected the necessary items to obtain the Broom and the Shovel.
Element of Fire: Blazing Wand - Found. This was not easy. I had to enter the sunken Kedge Keep to find this mythical wand. Torch of the Elements - Found. I had to travel to Kunark and the City of Mist, but I was able to acquire the torch there. Burning Embers - Found. Having already made my way to Kunark, it was little trouble to travel to Burning Woods, and locate these embers.
Element of Wind: Elemental Binding - Found. The irony of crawling through the depths of the Hole to find a piece necessary for the element of Air was not lost on me. Crown of Elemental Mastery - Found. I managed to make it to the Plane of Sky, and found the Crown in the possession of one of the unlucky denizens of that plane. Pegasus Feather Cloak -.Not Found. I have heard the legend of a creature known as Qullmane, but I haven't managed to find it. I'll search for this later.
Element of Water: Rain of Karana - Found. Once possessed by a giant, these glistening droplets are now mine. Staff of Elemental Mastery: Water - Found, but not yet acquire. It appears to be in the possession of a creature known as Phinigal Autropus in Kedge Keep. We were not able to defeat this creature, so we will gather our strength and return. Tears of Erollisi - Found. This was not easy to gather. The warriors in the Overthere have earned their fearsome reputation.
Update on Quillmane: After several weeks of looking for the elusive pegasus, I still have been unable to locate it I've taken to hiring a tracker, and in spite of the ridiculous amount of gold I have given her, she insists that there is no guarantee that she will be able to find it since it can fly. I think this is an excuse for her own incompetence, but we will see.
Quillmane continued: That ranger was useless. I had no better luck with her than I did wandering around these plains on my own. I've wandered the length of the grasslands, and I can see no evidence of this mystical beast. I'm beginning to think that the information I received was erroneous or fabricate. I think I will return to have a discussion with Kihun Solstin.
Quillmane continued: THIS IS MADDENING. I am certain that the creature known as Quillmane is a myth, and that all reports of sightings of it are just the ravings of the insane, or an attempt at getting attention. I even tried making my own cloak of feathers, and using that in the place of the Pegasus Cloak. This did not work either. I am going to get the Orb of Mastery, if it is the last thing I ever accomplish!
Quillmane continued: After months of searching, and no results. I concede. I cannot find Quillmane, and I am certain that Kihun Solstin simply wanted me to die out on these plains. Well, no more. You win, Quillmane. May you live a thousand more lifetimes.

0600 - Nothing to report. Streets are quiet. 1000 - Resolved a quarrel between a shopkeeper and an unruly customer. Customer was simply asked to leave. 1200 - All is quiet. 1800 - Change of guard.
0600: Wolves in the distance. No danger appears to be present, however. 0700: The sound of wolves turned out to be the baying of gnolls. Alerting the guards at the gates. 1100: The scouting party has been spotted returning from their search for the gnolls. Gnolls were not found. It appears they retreated. 1200: All is quiet. 1300: Minor disturbance near the Temple of Life. Turned out to be dogs fighting. 1800: Change of guard.
0600: Scouting party mustering near the gate, looking for the gnolls that were spotted last night. 0800: Scouting party has left. Burglar apprehended near the docks while attempting to flee. 1200: Adventuring party came through the front gates, several injuries. 1300: Scouting party has returned! They killed several gnolls, with minimal damage to themselves. 1600: Lone howling in the distance. It appears one of the gnolls is angry. 1700: Caught a shadowknight attempting to kill the koalindl fish near the Temple of Life. A paladin was nearby, who offered to help clean up any dead fish. I found it suspicious. 1800: Change of guard.
0600: More howling. It's been happening fairly regularly according to the night watch. 0700: Attack on the front gate!! A lone gnoll charged the gate, shouting that we would all pay for ruining his land. The gate guards drove him off, but his attack was unexpected. 0800: A few citizens asked about the gnoll attack. Really, the attack was comical on hindsight. One gnoll? 1200: All is quiet 1500: A child was lost in the marketplace. We found him near the front gates. 1600: Change of guard. Change was interrupted! The gnoll attacked again! He shouted something about the Sabretooth clan, and ran toward the gate again. Once again, he was soundly defeated. Hopefully that will be the last.
0600: Several night watch have remained on duty to see if the gnoll will make another run this morning. 0900: We weren't disappointed! The gnoll attacked again! We just left the gate up to see what he would do. He ran around the base of the gate for a while, and several of us jeered him. 1000: Persistent! He stayed for the better part of an hour. He finally exhausted himself, and left. 1200: All is quiet. The gnoll is the talk of the entire squad. 1300: Two of the guar. fell ill. We're attempting to space out the remaining guards to cover their watch. 1500: He's returned!! Fippy Darkpaw is his name. He shouted again that he would make us all pay. I can't stop laughing! 1600: Change of guard. I'm staying around for a while. I want to see if he comes back.
0600: The night watch captain doesn't find this as comical as we all do. He has a point - this kind of courage isn't normally found in the gnolls. We've been ordered to kill him. 1200: All quiet. I'm hoping Fippy stays away. I don't want to have to kill him! 1400: FIPPY IS BACK! He once again shouted his presence, and is charging the gate. And... it is done. The archers made several hits, and Fippy fell to the ground. It should be over. We're sending out a group to collect his body. 1500: Amazing! The soldiers sent to recover Fippy could not find the body! Did Fippy survive? 1600: Change of guard. On a personal note, I have to admit that I respect the bravery of Fippy Darkpaw. However, the night watch captain's words are true. What if he were to inspire the other gnolls into similar action? I shudder to think.

Remnants of a Sarnak Stronghold This item can be placed on the wall in any house type.
Entry 22: I've been running around in this desert now for weeks. Hasten Bootstrutter is a madman... although I think I'm probably even more mad for giving in to his demands. I'm beginning to wonder if he just sent me on a wild goose chase. He mentioned that the ancient cyclops will carry the ring he asked for, but after all of these weeks, I have yet to see one that fits the description he gave me. Ring of the Ancients indeed.
Entry 23: I came across another adventurer hunting for the ancient cyclops. Being a ranger, she mentioned that she had, in fact, tracked what she believed to be the ancient cyclops through the desert, but the shifting sands would often erase the trail before she could catch up with her quarry. This is encouraging, although I remain skeptical since she hasn't actually seen the beast for herself. I'll give a few more days before I leave this desert for good, then.
Entry 29: I was able to defeat the cyclops I saw yesterday. However, it was not carrying the ring. I think I was too eager to find the ring, and in my excitement, I risked my own life fighting an enemy that I had no need to combat. This desert is certainly getting to me - even if I plan to remain out here and search for this creature, I'll need to resupply at some point.
Entry 30: I SAW IT. Just over the sand dunes, not far from where I was. I raced to get to it, but I was jumped by a wandering madman. I was so fixed on my target, that I had no idea the madman was even there - I could have paid for my eagerness with my life once again. I know where the beast is now...
Entry 33: It's clear now that I wasn't the only one who spied the ancient cyclops. I've seen several other adventurers near where I saw the beast, and it's beginning to seem like a race. Hasten must be laughing himself hoarse at this point. No matter... arrows and flashing steel can't outrun the searing power of my Pillar of Lightning spells. That ring is mine.
Entry 36: Okay, I hate rangers. They can obviously track this thing, and always seem to be one step behind the creature, which is still a step ahead of me. So aggravating.
Entry 39: I'm tired of dealing with all of the crowding here. With all of us tripping over ourselves, there's no way any of us are going to find that cyclops. This is pointless. I've heard, however, that there might be another tribe of cyclops out in the Ocean of Tears. Perhaps it is worth my while to...

Strong he was, of body and heart. Took on all foes, he knew only victory! Speak now, speak! Tell more of this tale to me!
Alone he was, when beset by foes. Through spell and sword, he was locked in shackle. Speak now, speak! What happened when he fell?
Forced to fight, in arenas far from home. He thought of nothing save escape, a release from his bond. Speak now, speak! How did the hero abscond?
Fought his imprisoners he did, felling one by one. With a mighty call he broke his shackles clean, and fled his confine. Speak now, speak! Our hero's strength is divine!
Never again a slave to them, he watches us all. Forever he is among us, to drive off every foe. All hail the Minotaur Hero!

We've made it past the kobolds and the spiders. Everything here is quite aggressive, and equally strong. We were coordinated, however, and were able to defeat each of the enemies we encountered. Although our plan is to bring many more strong adventurers through here, we will want to warn them to mind the creatures found here - carelessness will cost lives.
I've approached what appears to be a giant stone structure, like a castle. To our surprise, it appears to be guarded by a race of fire giants, which none of us are eager to fight. However, if we're going to get the information we need to confront the dragon, we will need to find a way around. We've been watching for guard shifts, or sleeping patterns... something to give us an opening.
We couldn't have predicted, but a group of adventurers came pouring through the caverns behind us. We elected to stay in the shadows and observe the group... either they will kill the dragon themselves, or we will get a good sense of how strong our adversaries are. Initially, they were able to defeat the giants guarding the enhance, and began to push their way into the structure itself.
The group has largely been successful. Several of the fire giants are now dead, and they are preparing to make a final push to the dragon. It seems that they are preparing differently for this next fight, however - one of their scouts returned from a run ahead, and it seems like he discovered something that was a cause for concern.
I was correct, but in a way I couldn't have guessed. The group engaged a creature known as Magus Rokyl - a fire giant wizard far stronger than any of his fellows. They fought well, but the giants had another card to play. It seems that the fighting drew the attention of Warlord Skarlon, another mighty fire giant, and what seemed to be the strongest of their warriors. Combined, the two giants laid waste to the adventurers, leaving only a few survivors, fleeing for their lives.
If we are to make our way to the dragon, we will have to contend with these two giants. Their power is frightening, and is something we need to prepare properly for or we will be easily overwhelmed. I have to admit that seeing the two makes me wonder if we are prepared for this at all, but at least we have the information we need to hopefully be ready. May the gods favor our victory.

Walking in the Sand: A Case Study in Desert Spiders This item can be placed on the floor in any house type.
This journal has several entries within it, complete with illustrations and charts. It seems to focus on the study of large spiders within the Desert of Ro.
The Desert Spiders A Study in Large Therephosids Oran M'zal, Erudin Academy
Desert Spiderling Appearance: Very small (about the size of a small dog). Light Brown with darker brown spots on their legs. Ecology: There were the smallest of the theraphosids I was able to find. They are called "desert" spiderlings, but are actually found closer to the city, and within the small grassy patches found on the edge of the desert itself. They are terrestrial hunters, and feed on small snakes and animals. Not generally regarded as threatening creature, they largely keep to themselves.
Dune Spiderling Appearance: Small, although larger than the desert spiderlings. Brown, with darker brown stripes on their legs - can be easily mistaken for their smaller cousins at a distance. Ecology: These are larger than the desert spiderlings, and are considered more dangerous (debatable, but they are certainly more aggressive). They hunt many of the same prey, but are found mostly out in the deserts themselves, as opposed to being closer to the city. The "desert" and "dune" theraphosids are certainly different species, and the "spiderlings" appear to be immature versions of their order.
Desert Tarantula Appearance: Their body is approximately the size of a large dog. With their legs included, they are about the size of a larger sized dinner table. As with the spiderlings, they are light brown with dark brown stripes on their legs and abdomen. Eyes are more pronounces, and reflect a light red color. Ecology: Again, the "desert" moniker tends to be a bit misleading - they are found on the outskirts of the grassy areas near the desert more often then actually inside the desert itself (although there are members out there). These creatures feed on the larger snakes and coyotes that cross its path, but seems to ear infrequently - this would make sense, given how infrequently food can become available out here.
Dune Tarantula Appearance: Very large. While still similar in appearance to the smaller theraphosids in the Desert of Ro, they are notable for being far larger. Ecology: Most often found in the deeper parts of Northern Desert of Ro, these creatures feed on most anything that is smaller than themselves. They are far more aggressive than the other theraphosids, and are considered a dangerous nuisance, since they will readily attack caravan pack animals making their way through the desert.
Unknown Creature Description: In my search for more theraphosids in the southern Desert of Ro, I've come across what looks like tracks in the sand. I am aghast at the size of the tracks, and if my measurements are correct, this would be a spider of massive size. Something I wouldn't have conceived would even exist. Update: I've talked to some of the travelers who have come through this area, and they've told me a story of something called the "Terrorantula". I believe this might be the creature they are speaking of.
Terrorantula Description: Massive. It looks similar to the other theraphosids in this area, but many, many times larger. Ecology: I can't begin to describe the size of this creature. I found it some days ago and have followed its movements, and I'm awed by how incredibly huge it is. I can't be sure what its diet is, unless it is feeding off the other giants of the area. Many of us have heard stories of caravans that go missing in the desert and things of that nature... perhaps this beast has something to do with it.
Terrorantula Update: I've found what I think might be this creature's lair. I have not yet entered it, but I believe that it might go much further back than it initially appears. Although it might be risky, I am going to attempt to enter the cavern, and see how deep it might go. Surely a creature of this size couldn't simply have sprung up from no where... perhaps there are more of these beasts. I must know...
