5th Amerysday of High Autumn, Second Age 1854

Deadly Crystals

5th Amerysday of High Autumn, Second Age 1854: We departed the Bri’Oir village to address the issue of the aggressive mammoth herd, a trial mandated by Chief Ceann to validate our role in their prophecy. Though in my experience, many prophecies can be tailored to fit events after the fact, that is still no reason to ignore them entirely. My interest lay not in the physical confrontation but in the cultural significance of this task within the context of the Bri'Oir traditions. They appear to be people trying to live in harmony with nature, which is an unusual thing for most humans, leading me to believe there is a strong spiritual connection here on this island. Could it truly be that these people are blessed by Araneth himself? By the 5th Qindirsday of High Autumn, we located the herd, their movements a fascinating display of raw power, unlike any animal found in other parts of Eraneth. Lady Aria’s directive to preserve the mammoths’ lives intrigued me, as it suggested a deeper respect for Bri’Inis natural order. Isenara’s insistence on having as many tools on hand as possible to meet a wide variety of problems proved to be correct once again. Wand to imbue our fighters’ weapons with non-lethal efficacy was a remarkable application of arcane utility, allowing for the herd’s pacification and subsequent study. I found myself contemplating the potential insights to be gained from examining these creatures, when Talindra successfully extracted a piece of glowing rock from the flank of the matron. Believing it the cause of the animal's territorial behavior, it was deposited into my extradimensional pouch. There will be time to study it upon our return to Hithfaer. Returning to the village, we were welcomed with another feast, this time on mammoth that was exploded into chunks by Lady Aria's lightning bolt. We prepared for our ascent to the mountain shrine in the morning, where the Scrolls of Araneth are to be deposited, fulfilling the prophecy. The prospect of engaging with this sacred site, potentially learning more about Araneth, fills me with anticipation. I am eager to explore the shrine’s inscriptions and artifacts, hoping to uncover further connections to the divine narratives that shape this land.
