4th Judicday of High Autumn, Second Age 1854

Distant Lands

by Aranesi Eiryant

2nd Respitesday of High Autumn, Second Age 1854: Our expedition led us to investigate a void font, hypothesized to be an altar or pond of religious significance. Upon arrival, we encountered a copse of trees marked by profound decay, their desiccated forms suggesting a nexus of necrotic energy. I posited the potential to transmute this font into a conduit of vital essence, an endeavor that could yield significant arcane insights. However, the consensus favored a much simpler neutralization, and through concerted effort, we dissipated its influence. While effective, I remain intrigued by the lost opportunity to study its transformative potential and the theological implications of such a site.
 
4th Judicday of High Autumn, Second Age 1854: We embarked for Bri’Inis to return the Scroll of Creation, a relic of considerable historical and metaphysical import. Several days into our maritime journey, a lightning strike necessitated an unscheduled docking at a spring elf port. The locals’ cautious demeanor restricted us to the ship, precluding any scholarly exchange with their community. Nevertheless, our repairs were executed with efficiency, allowing us to resume our voyage promptly. The incident underscored the unpredictability of sea travel, yet I found myself contemplating the spring elves’ cultural reticence, for a typically warm and welcoming group, they were reluctant to allow us to roam their port freely—perhaps a subject for future inquiry.
 
Before the completion of our second week at sea, a distant vessel drew near, its markings identified by Aelorna as those of shadow elf slavers. Lady Aria’s directive for an immediate counteroffensive was decisive, though I would have advocated for a strategic deception to study their tactics and intentions. The engagement proceeded without my preferred approach, yet it prompts reflection on the shadow elves’ maritime operations and their broader agenda, matters I hope to explore through future discourse or captured records, but I must finish writing now as we are about to enter the range of each others' weapons.
