Note: If text has these {} around it, it means it is written in Ocani.
{Ninth Moon} {We found land, an island. We sailed to it on small boats. A few of the ones from the land of Shrade...?... ran through the water to get to the island first. Once I got on land I thanked the gods for letting us get here and sacrificed a mana to them. The island has tall grass in the water that might be edible. And no birds... We start going up a mountain and we find a wall..., a ruined wall.......... The wall was made out of rocks. We keep following the wall and then we get attacked by a group of Shrade vermin. The others did the fighting and beat them. We left the vermin in the grass. We keep following the wall until it gets to the top of the mountain. On top of it we see a tree that is safe and some ruins......... A large group of people go investigate the tree. Once they are done they move over to the buildings. The door is filled with grass. Some of the smaller ones go inside. One gets attacked by a} cat {and they defeat it. They wouldn't let me into the building... I figure out that this} cat {killed all the birds......... We make our way back down and all the vermin are gone. The grass ate them. Then we go back to the ship.}
{Today} {I SAW A BIRD. IT WAS FAR AWAY BUT I SAW IT. ONE OF THE PEOPLE GAVE ME A THING TO SEE THINGS AND I SAW BIRDS!!!! THIS MEANS THAT THE SHRADE DIDN'T KILL ALL OF THEM!}
{Today} {Me and (Ry) went back onto the island. He wanted to go and find shrines and I came with him. We were walking around and found more safe trees. We go to the spire on the island. It's about thirty feet across and very tall. It has ivy growing around it that is safe. The spire is made out of a very smooth black rock that cannot be climbed. (Ry) tried to climb it and failed. We couldn't find a way in but I found some writing it that was hard to notice. It is not in any language that I know or even recognize. I copied all that I saw and I am trying to decipher it. While I was writing it down (Ry) determined that no one in his family has told him anything about this spire and I can't recall anything either. We start to leave, passing by some of the rice. There were some blue and red crabs near the rice but we didn't pay them much mind. (Ry) noticed he had a scar on his leg. We couldn't recognize what had made the wound. And then we returned to the ship.}

{Tenth Moon}
{We are making our way back to the spire. On the way there we found some sharks eating some fish. We are going a different way than I went before. We come across some large four-legged animals with horns that are from here drinking some water from a pond. We keep moving and we find a person... but they are not right, I could see through them... The others say this is a haunt. It is farming but farming nothing and once it finishes farming it just does it again. A centaur...?, not a centaur... starts digging up the ground where they were farming. That probably made the grass angry... They founds some bones. I put them back. We are at the spire. The others keep putting their hands on it, trying to put mana in it but nothing seemed to happen for them. I put a mana in the glyph I found and I hear words that I don't understand. It was around four short lines of words. And it was asking me a riddle. The answer wasn't "island." I come back from the trance and the others all do the same. Back on the boat, the centaur/not centaur and another one, I don't know what they are, are trying to decipher the glyphs. We spend most of our time doing that.}
{The others were impatient so they decided to move to another island. This island has a large river of lava flowing through one side. We decide to split the group, one group going off to look for things, and the other group trying to get to a different spire. The spire is on the other side of the lava so we had to figure out how to get across. We approach the river and we see large crabs bigger than anyone. Their shell was more rock-like and black. These are good crabs. They like swimming in the lava and they let us cross the lava on their backs. Across the lava now we find ruins of a town. In the town we find one more lava crab and a few large plant monsters that were terrifying. The crab is helping us deal with the plants because the crabs are nice. At some point while we are exploring the town a cat-like creature the size of me and with no shadow... appears. You must be very careful around these. It's talking in a language I don't know and is looking at us. I ask it if it knows Ocani and it responds in Ocani, saying "Yes." It also know Welken but it doesn't like to talk in it. It doesn't understand what the others say and they can't understand it. It is very curious about them. It wants to play a game? but I didn't know any games, so it asked me a riddle instead. I don't remember the riddle but the answer was "tracks." After some more talking with it, it asks me another riddle. I don't remember the answer to it, but I know I got it right. It asked me if I know any riddles, and I don't, so I ask the others if they know any. Someone did. I don't remember the riddle but I know the answer was "maps." The great cat didn't know the answer, so it was nicer because I won? What I learned from it is that the people who used to live here were the Hurok} in common it is pronounce Heric {They made the spires. There are more of these great cats and they are speaking their own language.}
{Towards the end of the moon I went back to the town with someone who wanted to look at plants. I went there to try and find the great cat again. On the way was the same as the first time. When we got to the town there was nothing except a small patch of moss moving. We ran away from that. We go to a house. Inside the house there is not much light but there are a few broken pots. The pots are made out of clay and have drawings of creatures with clawed feet, either the jungle people, the trolls, or the goblins. Another one of the great cats appeared. It seemed to know why I was here without me saying it. It said that we were trespassing and that we would need to go talk to the high council. I figured out that what I am talking to is a sphinx. It gives me three riddles, the first one for my life, the second for my friend's life, and the third one to answer my question. I failed the first one but got the other two right. The answer to the second one was "river" and the third "peacock." For my question I asked if it could teach me Hurok. It said "If you come back and talk to the high council that I will teach you Hurok." Then it killed me....}

{Eleventh moon} {The group decided to go to the court, so we had to make our way over the lava river which wasn't difficult to do because the crabs helped us across. Once we got to the town we found the sphinx without a shadow and some flowers. Someone died because they got too close.... After some talking with the sphinx they brought us to a very large building. The interior of the building had a large square where light shone through two stories of glass and on the other stories we saw many sphinxes. We saw three other sphinxes on this deck, the one that I talked to before and two I didn't recognize. The sphinxes challenged us to a riddle contest, best of seven. We won the majority so they allowed us to stay in Manta Nagareth and they will also teach us Hurok. Since I know Hurok I was able to decipher what we found on the first spire with some help. It said, "I kome and go. Sometimes for years. But I always return. For my heart remains here." The sphinx without a shadow follows us back to the boat}
{We go to one of the two spires on the island, the one near the lava. On the door it said the same thing. Inside the black spire there were veins of lava going up inside of it. In the middle of the room there was a pile of clay and on either side of the room there was writing telling us to make things out of the clay and place them there. Once we shaped the clay into something and placed it on the pedestal, it would go down to be heated by the lava and come out hardened at the bottom. If we put the correct thing in veins in the floor would be filled with lava and go towards the door creating an ornate pattern in the door and then the door would open to stairs going up. This repeated for a while. Every now and then when we would make something with great skill it would be glowing when it would come out. We have five glowing objects? It was also very hot in there. We had to keep sending the centaurs to get us water. At the top of the spire we entered a room with windows. On a pedestal we found a small black disc with a hole in it. The disk had etchings that our mapper said looked like islands on it. I was thankful to Magaran for helping us get to the top so I gave him some of my energy. When I did the disc glowed for a moment. Back at the boat the sphinx is there talking to us and is very fascinated about the things that we made saying that we crafted like the Hurok did. They were also very interested in the disc but didn't know what it did. So I touched it to see what it did and the sphinx was very confused why I would do that. It was at that moment that I realized you can't do that. You just need to know what it does, you can't just figure it out like that.}
{We decided to go to the spire near the cliff. When we got there we couldn't get in because it was submerged part of the way in water. Since we couldn't get in we decided to hike up the cliff to see if the door was up there. But our centaur... not centaur... decided that they wanted to look in the pond for shells and they found a hidden door in the ground. We go below deck and find a large stone snake. We had to solve a maze. When we solved it the snake opened into some stairs. We found a room but without a wall? it was glass instead of a wall. In the room there was also a sitting area and a shelf and through the glass we could see the ocean? We go up inside the spire this one having more water themes where the last one had had lava. We find a puzzle box that we had to solve and inside the box we found a small blue dome-like clear thing.}

{Twelfth Moon}
{We went back to the} Olzgalon {Spire. We tried opening it by putting manna in and answering the riddle. We didn't get it. So we left. We decided to go to the Gray Island. The Gray Island has a lot of birds. This is good. The birds were very loud. We were making our way up the island. We encountered a lot of birds sitting on their eggs. Some of the others were attacking them? then healing them, then attacking them again to put them back on their nests... Here we also found a bird? made of light. It was making whistle sounds or air moving. I can't really remember... After the birds we encountered some trees... the kind that drop things on you... We barely made it... We find a spire near the top of the island and we see the same writing as the one before but in a different color. I put a manna into it and it opened. Inside the spire we found a torch but it was a weird torch. It just felt interesting. We also found (Isaac can't remember the name of the thing so I'm going to call it a lantern) a lantern built into the ground. We light it with the torch and the fire didn't burn, it just felt warm and nice... There was also a large painting of a golden-winged snake looping around the room and going up the staircase. At the bottom of the staircase there were more lanterns. We lit those and made our way up, On the next level the snake kept going and we also found a shrine with fire themes but it wasn't Magaran. There was also some writing that said something like "Leave a piece of yourself." I left something as did others. On one half of the room on of the walls was a large mirror. There's a lantern that wouldn't light. Whoever was holding the torch, their reflection didn't have it. I don't know why they did this but they gave their reflection the torch and they were on the other side of the mirror and lit the lantern. They gave us the torch and most of us went across. At this point right now I recognize the snake as a couatl. On the next level we find more lanterns and three statues of couatls. I don't remember why but they came to life and tried to break the torch. The person with the torch lit all the lanterns and they stopped. We go up a level to a room that is pitch black. We hear a click and water floods over us, putting out the torch. We tried to find our way around the room but an where I went there was always something in the way. Eventually the person with the torch said that we need to give the force something. When I did, one of my hands was on fire, like the torch's fire. The others also do this and we each light a different lantern. After we do, a staircase opens and we get to the top. At the top of the spire, we find a similar shrine to the one before. With all of our things we put in it, and what we gave in the darkness, they all felt warm to the touch. We also found a small piece of a blue disk like the black one but different and only a piece. There were also many windows at the top. After we left I felt warm? like the torch warm}
{We go back to Manta Nagareth. There the shra-- others wanted to discuss. their rules? It was. a long loud... discussion....}
{We decided to go to the quarry because the sphinxes said we need to turn back on the wards. The quarry is on the other side of the island so we had to hike through it. The sphinxes warned us about a great monster in the quarry and that's why they haven't gone in, because every time they did, they've died..... At the quarry we find a lot of. dead animals... and at the bottom we see a large chicken with a body of a lizard. I've heard of these...you're supposed to run...}Tasura {ran at it and died... Eventually the others defeated it but it killed more... After I resurrected everyone, we look around and find a tunnel and inside it is pure black. It was like there were spirits... but they were trapped in the tunnel... They almost took one of us... We left.}

{First moon}
{The group decided to go look at a grove of trees on Manta Nagareth. On the way there we saw these big flowers. They were controlling all the insects around. We stayed far, far away. After we left the flowers, we heard a loud sound in a rhythm. The sound was coming from the grove. The grove was guarded by ents.... They were moving around the grove in a circle stomping their feet, making the noise.... The group wanted to go talk to them. I thought this was a bad idea. They sent me and Aster to go talk to them. When we walked up they attacked Aster. Then Milo attacked the ents... We had to run after that. Once we got far enough away, the group decided they wanted to try and make it to the grove one more time. They sent Aster. She kept pace with the ents going in the circle in the same rhythm and got in. Once she got there she vanished. After some waiting her spirit didn't come back so the group all decided that we would go in one at a time, following the rhythm of the ents. Inside. Everything changed. We were in a different part of the forest, or a different forest... There was also a dryad. This was bad, very, very bad. Aster and the dryad were talking when we got there and Aster was making deals with it. This was also bad. I tried to make Aster stop but she wouldn't listen... Once we left I figured out what she asked for and what she has to do... She asked for a way for the people to be better friends with the plants and the dryad gave her some seeds and told her to eat them. I warned her not to and she agreed. The dryad asked her to open a way for the islands blood to flow? It wasn't exactly that but it is close. Second Aster asked for a way to protect her people and the dryad told her to put out fires at their source. This is also bad.... The last thing Aster asked for was for the two of them to meet and talk regularly. The dryad said that when she does, she must bring food... or they won't discuss... }
{A group of us decided to go back to} Olsgolon {to try to finish the spire. Sailing there was easy enough. Once we got there we solved the riddle. The answer was home and when we answered it we felt like the word home was important. Inside we saw lots and lots of books and scrolls. I like books. And three pedestals, two with great warriors and one empty, and a stair case going up. We decided to go up before interacting with the pedestals. It was a long climb up to the next floor. On the second floor, we got to a platform with a large hole in the ground and the only way across was by jumping on stones. The stones were the three main colors and the two bad colors. You could jump on the main colors. When the three of us got to the other side, there was a large stone in the wall that gave us a riddle which we answered which gave us another word which we thought was important. Before going up, me and (Francis) went back to the warriors. There she thought we should stand on the platform. When we did we thought we heard the word "stand." When we got back to the second floor, we found that (Nicky) had heard "remain." We moved to the next floor where we saw three more stones and a large metal statue. I gave (Nicky) my staff so he could fight and we sent (Francis) to go answer the riddles. It was a long fight where I didn't do much except answer a few riddles. After we did all we could do there, we left up the stairs away from the statue. Next we saw writing on the wall. It was a poem with blank spots to be filled with the words we got. It said,} {"I shall wait and anticipate. All that may come. I am a shield for now I wield The fate of where I'm from Whatever comes, wherever from, Here is where I stand. Upon the stone above my home To watch over the land. If there is something amiss, I am sworn to cry If I detect I must protect, Then I am sworn to die. Through any pain I will remain Here upon the land. Be it that it never comes, I'll still forever stand."} {The answer was something like "sentry." At the top we found more books and a piece of a small blue disc.}

{Second moon}
{The group decided to go to one of the other islands. So we made our way to the other side of the island. On the way we saw some normal animals and some flying eel like things. They were all running away from the ground that was moving. We moved out of the way and the ground kept moving. I think it was one of the moss monsters. But I'm not sure. We kept going. We were going through the jungle some more and we encountered some large trees with white almost cloak-like leaves. I didn't recognize the fast enough so we were too close when they started running after us. The trees released pollen over some of us. After that we made it to the beach. On the beach there were a lot of crabs. The crabs had collected various things and had put them all over this part of the beach. Lenna has a crab familiar and was asking it what this place was. It's some place the crabs keep up because they like the look of it? We eventually left to sail over to the Coral Island. On the way there we saw some small winged lizards flying around trying to catch fish. When we get to the island, its a very sharp place. The ground hurts to walk on even with shoes. We're trying to find a spire on this island but we can't get much further from where we are. We send Lenna over a ridge with a rope to see if she could see anything. She said she saw a large pool in the middle of the island. Millo has one of the lizards as a familiar and asked it what it knows about here. It said that there is a large eel-like creature in the pool. We kept moving along the shore on the very sharp ridged ground until we found an opening into a cave. We went in. It was a small cave and n there we found some very large lobsters. It took us a very long time to defeat them, longer than expected. So after we defeated them, we turned around and left the island.}
{When we got back to Manta Nagerath, we split the group. A few went to go talk to some of the sh-Others who decided to leave while the rest of us went up to the volcano as the smoke has been billowing out of it for a while and we wanted to know why. On the way there we encountered a small pond and its very large insect eggs. I don't know why he did but Millo decided to go break the eggs. then the insects came by and almost killed us. We started hiking up the volcano. There we saw some bright fiery looking moss. I don't think it's actually a plant, I think it's an elemental. We keep hiking up and we get engulfed in the smoke. It feels like we're choking on it. It also feels like were in a vision now. In the smoke we see several figures. we see great warriors on the ground and over them are some white figures. I believe those were the Dapar Krula... We tried to save the warriors from them but we were not successful..... After we woke , the smoke was still choking us and it was very hard to breathe. We kept going up the mountain and the smoke started to feel breathable. " Note. There was more to this. We might have felt some emotion but I don't remember exactly." Then the smoke cleared abruptly. And it feels like we lost... At the top we see lava in the volcano which is normal. We also see a fire elemental. Tasura goes up to it. It's too hot for anyone else to go to it and starts talking to it in Common. It doesn't respond much but it does use magic to say something along the lines of the volcano shows you visions of what happened then and now. I sacrificed a mana to Magaran to try and get back in the vision. After I did that we went back into more smoke but it was just normal smoke. So we left.}
{For the last thing in the day we decide to go into the quarry to reactivate the wards. It was getting dark on the way. We snuck most of the way there but just before we got to the quary we saw a large four legged shape made of vines with flowers that control minds growing off of it. It luckily didn't see us so we could sneak past. In the actual quarry we had to fight two scorpions to get in. We defeated them and went into the quarry. We explored for a while then bad things happened...}

{Third Moon}
{After Lesius lost his memory we needed to go talk with the new judge, a stillwright named Ophetia. Everyone wanted to do this, but they can't talk with the Sphinxs so I had to do all the talking. I had to discuss in court with the leader of the paladins, I don't remember his name. Sorry. The leader of the paladins was arguing that we are a calamity. I was trying to argue that all we want to do is help Urelia and protect it. At some point the conversation moved to our relation to the Sphinxs. The leader of the paladins was arguing that we could never take the place of the Huro Malak. We know we can not replace them. But we can try to. The Sphinxs had a deal with the Huro Malak where the Huro Malak were the swords and the Sphinxs were the scales. I thought this would be fine. But the others didn't like it so much. I couldn't make any deals on behalf of us because I'm not a leader. I had to translate everything to} Tasura. Tasura {wanted us to be the swords, but didn't want the Sphinxs to be our scales. This made the leader of the paladins very upset at us. I think he might have believed we were trying to give the Sphinxs as little power as possible. His anger seem justified. After more discussion I thought we had a deal that would work for everyone, where we would be the swords and reactivate the veil protecting the land, and in exchange, the Sphinxs would let us stay here. But as I was explaining that, Ophetia said that this court is adjourned and got up and left. So we all went back to the inn, and saw Ophetia talking with Elephiri. They were talking very fast, so I don't know everything they said, but in short, Ophetia was asking if we had any malice? to the Sphinxs, and Elephiri was explaining that we have slow minds and that the way we talk to each other might look like malice to the Sphinxs. Ophetia also wanted to be consistent in their rulings, so they left. We spent the morning on this. If I said anything wrong or something that didn't actually happen there I just forgot what happened. It was a long talk and I guess my mind is slow}
{Then we went to the Red Island to look for more spires. The island had a lot of cactuses on it. We found a spire on the island and went in. In the spire there were many things on the ground: armor, shields, clothes, gems, and other things. I didn't want to take anything out because it probably was there for a purpose. Some of the others tried to take things out but the things just came back the instant they left the spire. In the spire there also was light shining at a gem on a door, and different colored rings. When we moved the rings in front of the light, the light would change color, and when we shined the color of the gem the door would open. The spire repeated like this for a few floors, getting more and more difficult to match the light with the gem. At some point near the top of the spire we encountered a large mossy plant that controlled the minds of half of us. We defeated the controlled ones and made the plant retreat? After that we got to the top and found a small, black clay thing.} (It might have been blue I don't remember which one we got here)
{Once we completed the spire we went to a new island. On the island there is a large plateau in the middle of it and swamp surrounding it. In the swamp there are lots of plants and animals, and a haunt of a Huro Malak warrior. They looked very tired, like they've been running from something, they also were on a watch. I tried to talk to them but they didn't respond much. The others wanted to leave so we did. Eventually we found a path up to the top of the plateau. At the top we found a whole city that was carved out of the plateau. The city was full of haunts, a lot of people, and guards. I was trying to talk with them but it was hard. They didn't seem to hear me. At some point they must have heard an alarm because all the guards went to the front and everyone else went into buildings. They all died…}

{Fourth moon}
{Today on manta nagereth there was a lot of small containers. When you open one, something would happen, like a spell would be cast or a small animal would fly out. I don't know where they came from. We went to the plateau island to go solve the spire. We made our way to it fairly easily. On the road to the spire we encountered a place with no plants. It was a graveyard... of some kind. We paid our respects and went to the spire. The spire had the same inscription on the front as always and we put a manna in and went inside. I don't remember the order of what things we saw but on each of the floors it was like a jungle or a forest or slightly desert-like. On each floor there was a large drum in the middle of the ground and we would have to play the pattern of any creatures that were in the room. This proceeded for three floors. The last floor we were on the branches of large trees... I didn't like that floor... Once we got to the top we found a piece of a small red disk and then we went back to manta nagereth.}
{In one of the containers that I opened a small, black and white ball flew out. It was a good feeling, the ball, and then it went into the ethereal and followed me for the rest of the day, helping me whenever I would be afraid or confused. Elephiri called it by a name but I don't remember what that name was and that death wardens can make them.}
{We decided to go to the quarry because we had heard there was a large creature in it. We make our way there through the jungle and when we reached the quarry we see a very large centipede-like creature oozing tar. We asked it what it was doing here and responded in elder sorcery, saying, "Who are You?" Conversation went on for a little while longer. It said in elder sorcery, "I am a forest and a volcano and I will consume" Then it shot a spell at me and I was eaten... I don't know what happened after but I do know it said to the ball that was following me, "I have consumed your kind before" At some point later the rest of them had died because we were all back at the settlement. The others wanted to go back to the quarry to try and talk to the forest/volcano more and they had some conversations with it before we went into the quarry.}

{Fifth moon}
{We started the day going to look for lost workers. We went all over the island trying to find them. We had found them with yellow flowers growing on them. They were like zombies. We would defeat them all and then burn them so that they would go back. The last group of zombies had other things around it, like a spider and a large dragonfly. They killed us so we came back with new things to try and get our stuff back. We died. We did it one more time. And then died again. So we had a new plan to go through the quarry because we happened to be at the quarry when we died. We went in the quarry to go try and solve the haunt... It didn't go well... So the others wanted to leave. When we left we saw the forest volcano again. It was just there. We moved past it quickly. We found only a ring we had lost. The rest was gone.}
{The others had seen a ship with flags of the shrade.... wizard trade order.... the others had gone out to fight the ship and they won. Freeing everyone on the ship! and capturing all the shrade! and misami! With the ship captured and no longer a problem, we decided to go to another island far to the east. This island wasn't really an island. It was more a pile of sand with trees on it, large mangroves. When we got close to it We saw that there were a bunch of platforms built up in the trees and something that looked like a bridge that had fallen and we climbed up it. We went around on top of the platforms. It was probably an old place were the huro malak lived. We found an old place where someone did wood working, an old kitchen, and an old place where someone had collected some old things. We kept going and we found a spire. The spire was built out of the sand and was partly in water, so the door was 10 feet up and there was a platform leading there. I went and opened the door and the others had to jump in. In the room there was a lot of really high water, up to your waist. And there were a lot of things swimming around in the water. They tried to bit me but they coudn't. We went up on the next floor where we found two big domes, one over the other. If you touched the walls in the room, you would get really mad. We spent a while trying to figure out how to get through. Eventually we figured out you had to drop someone and when you did you'd start glowing red, then you could walk through. We did that twice. When we got to the next floor we saw the same rings except they were on the ground and there was a large black seed in the middle. Aster went through the rings and picked up the seed and came back. The others also came up at this point. We went up the stairs to the next floor. The next floor was very hot. The ground was on fire and as you would walk, different things would start to burn away, including spells. We went up and got to the top where all our stuff that had burned was and there was also another piece of a red disk.}
{I forget to mention this in my last writing, but last moon the deep singers came for a festival and we heard one of them sing. It was a nice song. It was about swimming on top of the ocean or something. I don't really remember.}

{We decided to go to get the last of the spires in order to get the pieces needed to reactivate the veil. The first spire we went to was on an island filled with flowers and trees. We make our way through and we find the spire. The spire has lots of vines growing on it. When we open the door, the vines start going in very quickly. In the room there were flower petals that we had to match patterns for and the vines kept trying to eat the flowers. When we found the right pattern, the door would open leading to the stairway up and when we opened the door, the vines would shoot through. I have noticed that the vines had also filled up the doorway leading out. This proceeded for two more floors, getting more complicated each time. Eventually when we got to the top, the vines stopped filling the center of the room and were only on the edges, like a bowl. At the top we found a small red third of a circle made of clay.}
{Then we moved to try to find the next spire. The next spire was on a island that didn't have any big plants on it. When we got to the spire we found a room. The room had a few different areas set up. It had an area filled with small multi colored rocks and a green liquid. Another had shells and small figures of sea animals and there was a small pit in the room. When you put things into the pit, different noises would happen depending on what the thing was. There was also colored light that would come from the shell area every now and then. After some experimenting, Garth had the idea for all of us to dance and when we did, the door opened. Going up we found a small kitchen, very old like no one had been here for a long time. There was also other things that resembled a house. When we got to the top, it was like all the other spires, except that it had a huge device that could shine light out into the world. We also found a small blue third of a circle. This was the last piece we needed in order to reactivate the veil. However, for (out of game reasons) we were not able to activate it this moon.}
{Last moon when the Shrade attacked they had brought a necromancer that had awakened the sleeping spirits of the world and was. feeding off them. Elephiri had told me that needed to kill and exorcise him so we sailed out to where he was being kept. Around him there were spirits that were previously resting but they are awake now. And the spirits were fine until they got close to him. When they did they became angry and aggressive. Others were talking to him for a while. He didn't seem to care for what he was doing to the spirits or what he did in his life to others. So at some point when they were talking, I death rayed him and spirit buried him. Then we started an exorcism. Unfortunately the spirits were angered already and were attacking people and the others were also attacking the spirits, not helping to calm them down. Which made things worse. And I was trying to calm down the spirits and everyone was trying to keep the spirits away from the ritual, but everyone needed me to see where they are and was yelling at me to tell them where they are. This felt like it went on forever. Eventually the ritual was finished and he was gone. Forever.}
{Then the party wanted to go talk to the Deep Singers, even though I said we didn't need to go talk to the Deep Singers. But they decided they wanted to go and I was the only one would could talk Mer, so they sent me to the talk to the Deep Singers. I had a conversation with one to make a deal, but I didn't need to do that, because we didn't need to.}
{Then the others prepared for the Shrade invasion and they fought them off. When the Shrade arrived, more spirits awoke and when the Shrade were dealt with, the spirits slept again. In the night we also went to find out what some lights are. When we got to the lights we saw Fey of the Volcano, the Sea and the Wood. They came here to trade with one another. It was a very long discussion and a lot of people had very dangerous and bad ideas. The Fey of the Wood and the Volcano served the entity we had met before and the Fey of the Sea served their "lord". The Fey said lots of things and we said lots of things, too much for me to remember. But I remember they asked what we wanted and we said freedom for those needing it.}

{Seventh moon}
{Since we have all the pieces of the veil, we decided to go and start the reactivation process. To do this we went to the kiln because some of our pieces are slightly broken and it's the best place to repair. We make our way to the top and fiddle with the pieces. I eventually figure out how the pieces need to be placed together. and when I did the whole room went black and a lot of different things happened that are hard to understand and describe at this point. When we activated the veil it asked us if we wanted to accept various spells and we accepted them. Later we found out that those spells went off all around the islands. There's a lot we couldn't do with a sentinel account so Garth made one. Eventually we moved to go to the archive to reactivate there and try to access the library and when we moved everything we discovered that we need more veil apertures in order to fully activate the veil.}
{The others went to the coral island in order to find the lord of the sea and they did. He was a giant eel.}
{They also talked to a ship from the Shrade. I don't know what they did there but they went there.}
{In the night more spirits had awoken on our ship. I was trying to calm them down but all the others kept attacking them, making them more and more mad. Evenually the spirits went flying off in different directions.}
