Brendel Haldir's Journal

2021-04-10

The first pages of this journal contain nice drawings of runes, sigils, and forests. The next pages represent different buildings of a city. (Luskan) A variety of drawings can be seen throughout the journal. In between the drawings are a few comments seemingly made by the owner of the journal.



‘’My own diary! It took me forever to be able to afford it. I’m not necessarily proud of what I had to do to get it, but that’s the life of a homeless orphan, I guess.’’

‘’I heard about a guild where anyone and everyone is welcome, no matter where they come from, it is called the Hawthorne Guild. I’m still young, but when I’m old enough, I will join one day. I'm a more powerful spellcaster already than most of the other elves I know, even those who are older. I know that's why they cast me out. They're jealous. It's okay though. I don't hold a grudge. It's just how I was born. I'm just different.’’

‘’I found out the Hawthorne Guild is in a town named Lerwick, it is located west of the Anauroch Desert, maybe I could try finding the place so that I can join as soon as  I’m old enough. Finally, I can find a group who will accept me.’’

‘’There are strange things happening… There’s a strange sigil in the sky. I’m not too sure what it means, but I think something very bad is about to happen. The sky seems stranger around the Graypeaks Mountain.’’



- - -


‘’They say a lot of people are gathering to stop the Titan. I want to join the fight, maybe if I prove my worth the Hawthorne Guild will notice me and let me join even if I’m too young!’’

‘’Found some guy in Luskan who met some Hawthorne adventurer, he doesn’t seem to like them, but he made me a badge that looks exactly like a real one! At least that’s what he says. I will show them what I can do!’’



- - -


‘’By Corellon! Today I saw the great Mordenkainen. I saw someone get an autograph from him! I wish I had the guts to do it, but I am way too shy to go see him. Anyway… it seems like the badge is real, no one has raised suspicion about my presence nor my claims to be a part of the Hawthorne Guild! I will join the assault on the titan and I will prove my worth to all!’’



- - -


‘’I’m so scared… I was with a large group, but then I ran into a strange area… It felt like I was going to die at any moment, but nothing has happened. I can’t seen anyone anymore. I don’t know what to do, I’ve tried to find them, but I can’t. I guess there were so many people at the time they may not notice someone’s missing. Plus, I’m not really in their guild, so how would they know? This was a really bad idea… I don’t feel so good...’’



- - -


‘’I don’t know why I’m writing this. Maybe for someone to know what happened to me when I die? There are horrible creatures, alien plants and scenery, everything feels so wrong here. It’s like I’m living in a nightmare.’’


- - -

‘’I am terrified, but I have to tell myself that everything will be alright. The Hawthorne Guild is filled with heroes…. and that’s what heroes do, right? Saving people in need! So I’m sure one of them will find me. I have to believe that.’’

The drawings in between the comments begin to grow weird, alien, distorted. Landscapes are warped and buildings are slanted or scattered in an eerie fashion.


‘’Ugh. My head hurts so bad. This throbbing headache. I want it to stop. I can’t even focus. I can’t think straight. I can’t…’’



- - -


The drawings in between the comments grow more and more disturbing.


‘’I can’t believe my own guild abandoned me. Why did I ever join? You’d think they care about finding one of their own. I was a fool to believe they’d care about me. They were never what they said, it was all fake and make believe.’’



- - -


‘’I will find my own way out. I have survived thus far and I am completely fine. Nothing can touch me. I will get out. I will get out. I will get out….’’



‘’And I will make them regret abandoning me’’
