DAY 4

Today is a light in the void of history. I have found the location after several years of research, dedication, and learning of tribal practices. Far be it from me to reveal the exact location of this unholy sanctuary before I cleanse it, but for the sake of the historian who may stumble across my journal later in history, I will describe the place where I currently reside. My campfire is warm and my stomach is full - the perfect time to write, I think.

The surrounding environment is both tall and cold, the ecosystem of an Ice Mountain, however, the path down to the vile room is hardly higher than sea level. Speaking of the sea, I can see it (and a few polar bears running about). A pleasant sight, really. I’ll take a picture.

Now, there is a shaft leading downwards into the area. It lies upon a small hill near the ocean shore. Odd trails of Soul Sand jut out from the hole, as if something broke loose here. That would explain the pit and the brokenness of the interior. My torches should hopefully keep any hostiles far away from my camp. The hole goes deep. It’s sides are not smooth. My research has led me to believe that there was at some point recently a beast locked away within this chamber. I expected to find it here, but it appears its bonds have been broken. An evil has come forth from this place.

I do not suggest following my path, but so that this book may go into historical records and into the hands of the great writers of history, I will provide…

The following section appears to be half-erased, as if someone tried to destroy the wording in a speedy manner without destroying the document itself.

The rest of the document appears to be untouched.

May this place never be discovered again. I shall follow the beast that escaped from its prison here to continue in my research of it. Crafty be with us all if this monster is left to roam.

Day 9

I have begun finding signs of the creature once more. Destruction lies in its wake. What makes it difficult is that the beast’s track of wreckage often disappears entirely. I know not whether it teleports, flies, jumps, or simply stops obliterating the landscape at random intervals.
The events of today prove that my mission to track down and eliminate this evil are not in vain, for I have found some sort of tribal burial ground. It is an odd place, full of strange sights. There are ancient books scattered about with text unreadable to me. I shall list a few examples.

Camping here will do me good and allow me time to study the burial ground. Tomorrow my chase resumes.
