The Journal Entry’s title
Gorlami Boulderson was born in the stronghold of Numonnuszkal, on the foothills of the Gonnak
mountains, where he spent his early years surrounded by books, artifacts, and the echoes of
ancient history. He was an exceptional student, and his love of learning and thirst for knowledge
soon brought him to the capital city of Tajj Netta’s prestigious University of Suszeng, where he
studied history and archaeology.
After graduation, Gorlami became a researcher and lecturer of the university, where he quickly
made a name for himself as an expert in the legends and myths of the ancient world. He spent
years poring over ancient texts, deciphering forgotten languages, and taking expeditions to
remote and dangerous locations in search of historical treasures.
One such expedition would change Gorlami's life forever. On the western edge of the Gonnak
Mountains, he came upon the site of what he named the “Battle of the Obsidian Plains”,
discovering the ruined remains of a legendary conflict fought by an ancient civilization against
an abhorrent beast. As he explored the battlefield, he was struck by a vision that filled him with
an unbridled rage and a fierce sense of purpose.
At that moment, Gorlami was transformed. He saw the legacy of the ancient world, threatened
by those who would exploit and destroy it, and he felt called to protect it. He embraced his
newfound powers and became a warrior-scholar, using his berserker rage to defend historical
sites and artifacts from those who would do them harm.
Gorlami has since become a guardian of truth in his own right, traveling the world and defending
the cultural heritage of the ancient past. He has battled against marauding bandits and
plunderers of ancient sites. And through it all, he has remained true to his calling, using his
extensive knowledge and his fierce spirit to protect the legacy of the ancients.
Today, Gorlami is a member of the empire-led expedition into the Southern Desert, where he
hopes to both learn and document the historical history of the area, while also ensuring that the
empire does not attempt to take ancestral artifacts from their rightful place. He is a formidable
presence, both in battle and in the halls of learning, and he remains dedicated to preserving the
cultural heritage of the world for future generations.
“The Battle of the Obsidian Planes”
Gorlami’s greatest achievement, the discovery of an ancient and previously untouched last
stand at the “Battle of the Obsidian Planes.” Little is known of the true purpose of the large
obsidian obelisks that pierce the land just west of the Gonnak Mountains. But undoubtedly a
monumental battle was fought at this site. Gorlami and a small team of anthropologists and
archeologists uncovered decaying weapons and armors lost to the ages around these obelisks.
At the battle site's center, and what Gorlami predicts was the aggressor in this legendary conflict
is a husk of an ancient and abhorrent monster. A beast unrecognizable by the leading
biologists, zoologists, and arcanists in all of Tajj Netta. The origin and purpose of the battle are
lost to time. Although studying the ancient husk of the beast have shown that there might be
something deep inside that has awoken from uncovering its ancient burial site. Since the
discovery, and the accidental infection of (Miles’ Character). Archaeological sites of the “Battle
of the Obsidian Plains” were hastily ceased.
Gorlami will not rest until he has helped (Miles’ Character) purge the ancient and unknown
creature from his body and mind.
