'''Title: A Weathered Journal'''

'''Author: Lord Blackthorn'''

<br>
<nowiki>*</nowiki>This journal appears to
be ancient, and has many
gaps throughout; Only a
handful of entries are
still intact, and they
seem as if they may not
even be in order
haphazardly written.*

It vexes me greatly that
even now, in my friends
absence, still the throne
has not been rendered
unto me as should be my
right. It is not as if I
expect to hold the
position forever, but in
the absence of
Cantabrigian someone is
needed upon the throne
to hold the realm
together. I fear that if
there is no ruler, that
we shall fall like chaff
and I've yet to see any
others who think
themselves capable as
rulers; perchance it is
only a matter of time
but as I've written this
waiting vexes me.

In the course of my
friend's quest to reunite
the shards, despite my
misgivings about his plan
and all the consequences
it entails, I felt that it
would be entirely idiotic
of myself not to perform
more research upon some
of the magicks that
Nystul and Cantabrigian's
claim will be utilized.
Much of it seems
somewhat similar to
Gilforn's research, but he
prattled on about using
my connection with
Cantabrigian to try and
force Nystul to tell him
everything he knew. It
seems that Nystul's
distaste for me is more
of a private matter than
I imagined, or Gilforn
would probably not have
bothered asking. A few
assurances that I'd try
however, and he told me
more about moongates and
the teleportation
technology than anyone
but perhaps Nystul and
the Stranger know. He
was particularly interested
in using moonstones in
the process of creating
permanent moongates. I
feel that had I continued
to ask questions, he may
have spoken to me until
both of us died of old
age; I wonder if he is
not obsessed over it in
the same way that Anon
is with those mongbats
of his. Hopefully Heckles
has had some success
with speaking with
Chuckles about the
current state of things
with Nystul, and if not, I
can at least send him to
the Lycaeum to pick up
some more research
materials for me.

This new land that
they've discovered could
hold untold levels of
power, but its most
peculiar that it already
contains shrines to the
virtues and even a
shrine to the idea of
Chaos. Imust admit
that I am at a loss as
to what to make of such
a thing. I have theories,
but is this Ilshenar the
ruins that is left of a
Sosaria, fallen prey to
ever escalating fighting
between the zealous
forces of those who
followed my philosophies
and those who followed
my friends? A world
where Chaos was
incorporated into the
virtues? Or a place that
somehow, by its own
means, came to the same
virtues we have and the
idea of chaos entirely on
its own and developed?
Or could it be something
even more fantastic than
I could possibly imagine? I
find myself stricken at
once with anticipation and
anxiety, curiosity and
dread, and while I hope
that this land will hold
enlightenment to a great
many things I fear that
like our own, there may
lurk untold horrors within
its depths.

I have discovered
something
drastic and terrible. A
creature that goes by
the name Exodus. I can
tell that its power is
familiar to me, and it
reeks of Minax's power
and yet is subtly
different but worse, I
can sense just how
powerful this Exodus is.
Without Cantabrigian here
I don't know who I can
trust with this
information; Nystul and
Dupre have rarely ever
been fond of me. There
is a possibility though if
only I can secure what I
need. The creature thinks
itself powerful enough to
offer me Sosaria under
my rule...but it means to
do so by conquest. Any
who read my political call
to anarchy would know
that freedom is something
I believe all should have
and exercise but I think
I can convince this
monstrous being otherwise
and perhaps by tricking
it, put myself in a
position to stop it. I
have already led it to
believe I will return to it
and allow it to place me
into a different body
some hideous amalgamation
of flesh and machine. It
then returned me to my
own castle to prepare
myself for conversion, but
I know what I have to
do.

I don't have much time
as the creature expects
me to return or will
spirit me away again at
anytime; at great expense
and effort I managed to
trace the flow of the
spell used to summon me
and correlate it with
Ilshenar's known
geography to locate where
this creature seems to
be drawing power from.
By removing or destroying
this area, I should render
it incapable of such
feats, but I have no idea
how well it can detect
these things. In a position
where all choices are
fraught with danger, I
can only choose the one
that presents the least
to the lands even if it
may present the most to
my own person. I may not
be as powerful a mage as
Nystul, but I have not let
him far surpass me
either. Gilforn's ideas of
moonstones, perhaps
combined with blackrock
and my own abilities its
possible. It was difficult
to obtain blackrock, but
Heckles didn't fail me
and nor has he ever. I
hope that he realizes how
essential his services
were. If I cannot
eliminate Exodus entirely
and still have access to
the blackrock then I will
destroy everything I can
to prevent it from
manifesting.
