(Whats this Kate is actually getting off her ass and writing down the stuff she recorded weeks ago?) Journal Entry from Selatiel Kunai's Records of Letters About the events of 3/22/15, written on 4/13/15
EDIT: ok the writing of this is terrible. I swear to god the rest are better. this was written when i was like half asleep. please ignore
Okay so in the beginning of the day we started with just fighting dagdeoth we were sent out to take care of some of their troops I was killed pretty quickly the first round maybe no was the first round but after another round of floating around not realizing I could be resurrected I got back in it and fared a little bit better then there was a lot of others were going on skald missions something about Giants so I didn't see them a lot then my group decided that we were going to go try to retake an area I think I forget exactly what the place is called but it was snowing so we went and on the way there there were a few little encounters trolls a lot of trolls a lot of things that were regenerating. I don't know if that's normal around here maybe it is. Anyways we killed a lot of them to get through there then we attempted to sneak through the battlefield, well more like around, except we were seen when we were most of the way through and some of our friends ran and got through, but some of us didn't and then got killed, including me. Adia had had the idea to blow up the mountain or the volcano to mess with the enemies holding the area, and to do that we got a blessing from Hephaestus and we all got mining, but when we got there plans changed so instead of blowing up the mountain we just dug out the snow under the battle field and get up behind the enemies. Before we got there, but after we fought the trolls we found a frozen guy. He was pretty dead. I tried to resurrect him but his soul was gone, probably PD'd or something. Anyways he had an amulet on him which we took. He also had a white banner and looked like he'd been pushed down the mountain by an avalanche of snow. Oh before I forget to write it down, over the month of work before going adventuring again I became a nature mage and got a familiar. His name is Scale. He is a size 2 Black wolf and his eyes are black and where they should be the white they're black and his fur is black and his teeth and claws are black I could never tell this to him but he seems like petulant teenager and in weird way he reminds me of my sister. That's all I know about him so far other than a few things. He's got hiding and stealth and gives me tracking and can speak strangely well in my mind. Like instead of just getting a sense of things I can get full phrases which I guess is weird I'm not sure I've never had a familiar before so I don't know how it all works. Oh, and he's got another thing. I'm studying to be a priestess of the Elder goddess and I summoned him at the temple and to become a Priestess I have to go equal in all mage types, and I know that he will do something to one of my spells that I don't have yet, but like i said I don't have it yet so I don't know what he'll do. I just have the first level skills of all of the types except flame right now. When I went to them and told them I wanted to become a Priestess they decided to help me out and they're paying for my training which is super helpful. They also gave me five flowers and said that I should go to people who might want to worship the goddess or people who already did, given the flower, and make a sacrifice. When I did so I got pieces to a set of armor and weapons and the last one wasn't part of the set and Morgan got it. It was a crown I think there are other items he could've gotten but he got the crown of this dead kid. Also I got a spider silk dress so I could you know, try to stay alive. Anyways long interlude over. Back to the sneaking away from people who wanted to kill us. I died but some of our friends made it across and finally the samurai figured out how to work together effectively and started kicking major butt. Anyways after the battle was over a bunch of us were dead and we had no one who could resurrect us. Then one lady tried to resurrect us with this flower that glowed but only to her and it turned into a weapon of something I wasn't there I heard all of this later. Anyways she proceeded to use it by singing and she was able to resurrect us. Then we used our mining abilities to dig a giant tunnel, and then we successfully held on to the entrance after being attacked. Then more of our troops could get through. Success! Then we headed back and the two different parties met back up to go to a haunted mansion. There were a bunch of haunts inside but we made our way upstairs since they were still benign. Then we saw a ghostly wraith lady standing looking out the window and when someone tried to look through the window we all got a vision of children being attacked and eaten by little beasts sort of. And then the haunt lady started trying to claw us. Then somehow we agitated her by trying to talk to her and apologizing for her misfortune, and she pulled out the two needles holding her hair up and started attacking us even more, along with the other haunts who were now also attacking. Then looking up the stairs i saw another ghostly lady, who seemed to call all of the spirits to her, and they did and flew out the window. I felt like we had failed.

6/6/15
Mother,
I’m writing to you now from a locked room. I would tell you everything is all right, but I do not know if that is the case any longer. I only hope that I will get out of here soon so I may send you the letter before you hear what you will through the eyes and ears of the nobles. I would write to Sœren but she is here too. I would write to Kassyris, but she would use it against me. And so I write to you.
Mother there was a trial today, the main reason for our gathering. I remember you telling me once of meeting an old woman with three morganti stabs in her stomach. I believe I have seen her now, though her hair is no longer as you described. She was one of the three on trial. Her defense called her a “Morganti expert”. But I suppose I’m getting off topic.
It started with the offense listing the crimes of which they were charged. Attmepted murder, attempted morganti murder, mafia plotting, and assassination of the crown prince of svodlun. He made a convincing case, items of truth used on witnesses and such. There were many…. expressive people in the crowd calling for their morganti execution. It was unsettling. Luckily their defense was adequate. A sorokonian martial master I believe was the defense for Shanetil, one of the accused. He spoke with great honor, twisting around the case to dishonor his opponent quite effectively. He called no witnesses to the stand, only calling upon Shanetil to express her feelings for the Prince; those of close friendship and a deep love, though non romantic. Then the defense for Melimo, I’m sure you’ve heard both their names whispered about mother. Surprising most, Abil came to the stage. I’m not sure what Sœren has told you of him. He is… a strange man. Very distracted, though energetic. At first his line of questioning made no sense. He brought up a random member of the audience as his witness. He asked him about magic items, if he’d ever used them and such. We were all skeptical, but at the last moment he turned it around! Stating that an Item would have to be wielded to be effective, so the Offense counselor could have just given them items of truth on chains or something, so that it would ring true that he had done so, but they would not have been held to the items rules. It was a fantastic turn around. Then a woman, Enyari I believe, represented Lindor. She spoke of her work on morganti studies, so fascinating might I add, and brought in Melissa the Skald as the witness. She confirmed that Melissa had been ‘healed’ of her morganti wounds to prove that the defense had reason to believe that an attempt to do so for Norino might prove successful.
The trial ended with the Queen basically admitting that there was enough evidence to the contrary that executing them would result in extreme political lash back. Not in so many words of course, but I could see that she was politically cornered. But then as the trial drew to a close and we were all dismissed… blue flame erupted everywhere, much like the flame Sœren described in her letter about the strange genie like creature that visited Axiems. A prophecy or oracle of sorts was given. I went blind again, though I healed quickly.
Then there was a scuff by the High Queen. The drakes put their wings around her. I couldn’t see what was happening. It was all quite chaotic. Then a man ran in telling Melimo and Shanetil to leave. We were all so paranoid that we did not do so in time, and the doors were shut.
Later we received the news that Norino was gone, though where we do not know. It seems the business with the High Queen was a distraction, or at least used as one.
It seems foolish of me, but part of me hopes that the Prince was healed, and got up of his own accord. I know that it is not likely however.
I fear that his disappearance will be used against the three who were on trial tonight.
I worry for their safety. I fear whoever wished for them to be pinned for the crime of planning Norino’s assassination will attempt to finish what they began and kill them.
For now I’m trying to protect them, but I don’t know how much I will be able to do mother.
I don’t know how much any of us will be able to do…
Your Daughter,
Kun’i Selatiel

Sister,
I should tell you what occurred when our group adventured the other day. The Odin Shrine group continued their quest and as far as I know is doing well? At least I have heard nothing to indicate that they are doing poorly. As for those of us not chosen for that, a group of us went to Randwin. Oh don't laugh at me, I know you're laughing right now Sister. Don't deny it. Of course I went. I'm training as a Priestess of the Elder Goddess, by the goddesses of course I was worried when I heard Randwin was being militarized!
When we arrived we ended up meeting with the head Priestess. It was an honor, but maybe I made a bad impression. I got nervous and started rambling again... Oh and before she came in we saw that nice sorceress of the Elder Goddess again. She read my mind again and it hurt really badly, but I was ok after a few moments... Anyways I felt really embarrassed when we didn't have any important information for them like they thought wwe might. It turns out the King of Illionass shoupreparing to take the platou himself! Because Yohan hasn't been able to yet... We should work on that, or else when the King might take away a lot of Johannisburghs independence... Anyways! We met with some lower priestesses too and they had us do some trial stuff so we could maybe take and use some items that had been showing up on the shrines. First they had a question for us which was "who do you trust" I was really surprised when most of the people in the group said me! Thought it was mostly because I was a Priestess... But still!! I felt so proud!! And then they asked me who I trusted. I told them that I trusted everyone I was traveling with or else I wouldn't have been traveling with them. Also most of them actively saved me when I was kidnapped and that I couldn't ask for better companions. It might have been a stupid answer, but its true!
Then they asked us a riddle. "What has one foot on one side, one foot on the other, and one in the middle" At first a few of us incorrectly guessed a stool, but then the elf child correctly guessed a yard.
Then they had us go take care of some... Trolls? I think they were trolls yeah. Anyways they were attacking a small village. We didn't talk to them and instead just attacked them. But after we diceded to carry them away from the village so that when they woke up they wouldn't go back to attacking them. Apparently that was the only thing we did well on that mission. Only two of us got items to use from it. Adia got a sword and I got a necklace that gives me JumpStart heal. Usefull for when I'm in town.
Then a few of us did a small mission where we want to go find a guys missing stuff from when he got attacked by spiders with his guide. Turns out the guide was a brownie who had wanted to take his and our stuff. But Adia got him while he was invisible. So we took his stuff and returned what he had taken from the guy.
Then most of us went out to fight dagdeoth, but I stayed behind to get an item enchanted. Apparently it went really well untill the last battle where competent dark heroes showed up and completely decimated them.
Finally we all rejoined each other, and went off to figure out the storm. As I thought it was another ominous. Though we couldn't solve it. Catlyn went into the circle Shelly made to contain it, and the guy looked like a man with a puffy beard. Then they silently looked like they were talking, and they shoook hands. Then they drank tea. Then the man showed him something. It looked like a dagger or maybe a wand. He blew dust off of it, then gave it to her and she put it in her pocket, they finished her tea, then she left, and we all heard the sound of a closing door. She couldn't remember almost any of it. Eventually the ominous started asking us what its name was. Thinking on it now, it might have been hospitality. Eventually it dissipated and we left. You should look into this ominous next time your group goes out Sister. You are better acquainted with the ominous than we are.
Love,
Your sister
Kun'i Selatiel

Dear mother,
Yesterday was... A concerning day to say the least, though probably less concerning to others. It started with a group going out to fight against dagdeoth. Apparently they used a push tactic while dagdeoth was pulled back to celebrate a festival all across the border. Something about one of their huge symbolic people taking on a mate? I'm not sure. I didn't end up going since I had some morning tending to do to my tree. Once they returned (successfully might I add, though talking about death Ray detonating goblins?) We were filled in more properly on the available missions. That's when we heard that there was some concerning preistess issues happening in Randwin. A young preistess-in-training, who we would later discover was named Carrie, had gone mad suddenly and become violent. Two of her friends had had to restrain her, their names were Sue and... Mary? I can't quite remember off the top of my head. Sue was a full fledged preistess and Mary was a sorceress. I was incredibly concerned when I heard the news, so I was sure to push for a group to go out and investigate. We ended up splitting the party, with the others going to fight against dagdeoth. Once we got there we were able to meet with Sue to discuss the specifics. She filled us in a bit more, telling us that she and Mary had been discussing with an Illionas millitay person about how many priestesses were being taken into the war. Carrie was there for training purposes, mostly taking notes and watching the proceedings. Then she seemed to fall into a vision, but freaked out and attempted to deny it. She was every mage type except nature at that point. Then suddenly she became wild and violent, attempting to attack Sue and Mary. They had to restrain her, but it became clear very quickly that she had berzerked and that they wouldn't be able to knock her out or down her without killing her. Eventually they managed to subdue her. When Sue was finished telling us this we took a moment to discuss amongst ourselves what the best course of action would be. We decided that we could try to see if they would let us identify Carrie with Catlyns weird devine identification. Sue said that she would have to speak with Mary about that. So we waited and eventually Mary came to speak with us. She explained the concernes about divulging the information we might find out about Carrie, and the issue of a lack of consent. However in the end she agreed to allow Catlyn to identify Carrie, but only if Catlyn allowed her to identify her first. Catlyn agreed and things proceeded. Then we were lead into Carrie's room. Her verious personal effects were covered with cloths so that no one was invading bet privacy. We could see that there was a strange bruise on her forheadbin the location of her third eye. We asked where Carrie had been struck, and were told the back of the head, which meant the forheadbin bruising hadn't been caused by any strike. Someone pulled back her eyelid to check her eyes and as we thought they were hacked. Catlyn did her identify and told us that she was hurting in her head and her heart and that she had likely denied an oracle and somehow had haunts in her head. Oronyëa said that he sensed energy whirlpooling around her. Then he sat next to her, touched her shoulder, and began to meditate. This is where things get truly concerning mother. We all stood there watching the body for several minutes. Then suddenly everyone except Mary and I jolted and began to talk worriedly. They asked if we had seen it too. Mary and I were confused but everyone else seemed to know exactly what they were talking about. They told us that they had gone inside of Carries mind and found three haunts that looked like Carrie and had to fight them. And that Mary and I had been Wraiths. Wraiths mother. And I had no idea that this had occured. Mary said that perhaps Carrie still viewed us preistesses/sorceresses as a threat and so when we had been pulled into her mind we became represented by wraiths which was close to what she saw us as. The party said they wished to try again but without us in the room. That maybe that would make her less hostile in her mind. Mary and I agreed, and left the room. I offered to bless the party before I left but they turned it down. They were worried that anything potentially elder goddess related would set her off. So I waited outside with Mary for a while. When we came back in they were all talking, trying to figure out what they had experienced. I noticed that Adia was carrying some blank paper and asked her if it was hers. She looked at me kinda funny. I asked what she was planning to write. Then they all looked at me weirdly. She told me that the paper had code on it. Both Mary and I were confused and asked if they had put it over some fire. Then one of them got worried and took the paper and ran out of the room. The others told us that they could all see code on the paper clear as day. But for some reason neither Mary nor I could see anything on it. I'm scared that means we're evil. Or are doing something evil. We returned then and prepared for the next mission. Another split, this time with the other group going to the Odin shrine again. The rest of us went to go fight dark heroes. At first it was really easy, and the few we found tried to run away from us. But Loni killed them and the wisps got away and alerted others. The next group we fough was much, much more difficult. They also had a demon or something with them. As everyone else was fighting she asked me what I was doing here. I didn't know how to respond so I simply directed it back at her.then she told me we had three options. Retreat and they let us, I go with them, or she does her job. She was carrying morganti. I tried to tell others but before I could get the message out one of the dark heroes killed me. When I was ressurected Scale told me that the group had taken care of most of the dark heroes, but the demonish one began to fly up and then unforged her morganti sword and threw it at them. A morganti wraith appeared, and the demonish lady began to fly away be thought towards my body. So he ran at me and used the blessing I had given the party of mana teleport home to get us both out of there. Then once the others returned, thankfully unharmed, we had time for one more small mission We chose to go investigate the riddle keep. We ended up finding a stone with code scratched into it, but very quickly some 'Illionas Knights' came and confiscated it. I will write no more on what we did to or about the code that they took from us. Instead we saw a haunt enact something. He would walk around with a lantern, then get concerned and weary holding out his spear, then suddenly he would drop down and shuffle his hands against the ground, though we couldn't quie figure out what he was doing. Here were also gopher goblins? I wasn't sure I was otherwise occupied. Then we went to the location where the titan died, but there wasn't much interesting there, so we returned home.
I hope we can discover more about what is hidden.
Yours,
Kun'i Selatiel

(Written in a journal)
20th day of 9th moon, Kun'i Selatiel
(About half of the page is filled with various scrawlings of 'I fucked up' and about partway through this there is a heavily scratched out sentence)
I talked with Synthrea. A group first traveled to Randwin, where I had spent the month. From there a group of us decided to investigate the Esterock rebles recruiting. It all went well until Xey let slip that I was related to the High Queen. Then hey attacked us, or more they attacked me and the others came to my aid. I tried to only be defensive as they dueled me, using shock touch to escape. However one of them was immune and managed to take me down. My companions managed to take him down and heal me. I talked to one of them, and told them that if I truly was convinced my family members were evil it would be my duty as a princess of the nation to oppose them, but that I did not beleive that it was at that point.

Tatiana - 17th of 4th Moon (2016)
Killed some poachers. They had golden horns on them. We took the horns to return to Lady R. Ran into another group, they thought we were poachers? But they were poachers. Maybe they were just looking for an excuse to attack us... Or perhaps all a misunderstanding. Who knows. All I know is that many innocent animals died. I had to explain to some of other races why the elves of this land see the deaths of animals with such fervor. Perhaps it will help him communicate better with us, and us with him. It seems to be easy to grasp, but hard to truly understand. Others do not share our beliefs most of the time I have found.
It is difficult to express that without sounding like many of my peers in my views of the other races... I hope I am able to be more accepting of their ways and them of ours, at least while they are in our lands and under our laws.
Then a more difficult matter, a small human group of refugees from Temnor had begun to make town in the forests. IN the forests. Killing the animals and trees... But they did not understand they were doing wrong. They were afraid and did not understand our customs and... I cannot fault them for that. Apparently they were lead astray by some elves who clearly did not have anyones best interests at heart, telling them to go into the forest and that they had permission to hunt and chop wood.
They would not listen to reason.
We exchanged one of ours for one of theirs to show him our towns, that there was somewhere else to live.
When we returned with their companion they still would not listen.
A member of royalty ordered us to take them captive and to fulfill our duties of returning them to town.
There was nothing I could do.
We went to the grey isles in between. More space distortion and waves on the way in. Many strange things. Cobben tried to kill us. Mysterious undead. A Woman with two faces, a tattoo on each face, a tattoo on her bicep, morganti sword, and black dragon breath that killed me. Seemed to take magic damage, but that it had little meaning too it. The quiet mage got drawings of the tattooes. The ones on her faces looked like half of a butterfly, the one on her bicep seemed to be half of a dragon.
