A Dark Place
To memory:
To be "freed" of our situation, we had to clear the crag of the monsters currently infesting it. Not a problem. However, also in the crag was the other noble, and the smith's son. The creatures infesting it turned out to be spiders - not very complicated. What was complicated though, was Genevieves handling of the situation. In a room, the feet of the child could be seen over a ledge. Through a series of dumb decisions, her actions led to the incineration of that same child.
Genevieves lack of judgment and hasty decisions cost the life of a child today. I have no words. I'm unsure if Genevieve herself understand the consequences. A small being who never got to live out their allotted time. Parents who never again will see their beloved.
Deeper in the cave we rediscovered the other noble. With a blade at his throat he told us about what he discovered - some sort of magical hall, with protectors. I wished to research this - and I was, as well, when Zalias infernal book elected to "choose" Genevieve as its next quarry.
Their fight was short, and as it was raging, the protectors fused into a hellish creature. It seemed to have the same hostility to Genevieve, so I chose to stay put in order to be able to further research the hall. I have no intention to engage in a fight i can not win, and I have no reason to protect the two emissarys of a state I have no reason to support, and of which one has, how ever unknowingly, murdered a child.
The stone and the hall resonated, and an opening into an even grander hall showed itself. A dragon - Galvatorix, the former Arcane Prefect of Cothshold - met us. Deceased - but unable to move on. This hall held some form of research of the plane stones during the age of dragons. This will be to our benefit in the future, I'm sure. (a map is provided with a marker on the entry in the journal)
To note:
The hellfire creature was obviously connected in some way to Zalia. When questioning it, it appeared to be targeting Genevieve and to be commanded by something higher. I presume the choice of Genevieve as a quarry by the book to be related to the creatures insistence to attack the frankonian. Is Zalia's patron from the Hells? And how does that synchronize with Zalias quarries constantly being despicable beings? What is clear is that she holds a strong resemblance to a lower devil. This complicates things.
Pierre fell in duty tonight. A special man, but to his bravery there can be no doubt. He will be remembered.
To do:
The plane stones are several, as confirmed by the dragon. We need to find the rest. They are far to strong to be in anyone's possession.

Reminiscing on the Crag
It was the Age of Dragons, long before we had left every-day civilization for the monastery. Long before this land was free. Close to here had stood a city - strong, prosperous, fortified. The dragons insisted on it being named Quethsegol, but the morta...

To memory: As I suspected, following the noble tracks was not difficult. Also as I suspected, the nobles leaving the tracks were not suited for the wilderness. One of them got themselves butchered by a wolf. One would be inclined to believe a life in l...

For Memory: Found Zalia. She removed another evildoer, it seems. The Magister was at the head of the group of bandits that was slaughtered in the cave. Seems fitting that he too left this existence. We made sure to extract some more information about...

For Memory: Vaelthoryx rests easy. The village that has sprung up around his last landing is a quaint one, and the abbot seem a reasonable one. This gladdens me. Merely a few hours ago, me and my newfound companions, at the abbots bidding, cleared ou...

For memory: Me and Zalia will be in Vael’s rest in a few days. She is a character, to be sure. Neither in the village my current form grew up in, nor in my monastery, have I seen someone of her caliber. She is older than she lets on. It’s not s...

"I've been around." The smile I shoot at the barkeep is a tired and shallow one. This must be the hundredths-something individual that has suggested that I take my investigation elsewhere. However, even in this lifetime, I'm running out of elsewheres. I'...
