The private entry from the General Miranda Waley's journal, dated the day before the violent
Whitecloak Siege of
The Triskelion
Kotallah 4
The city keeps us from entering! The Merchant Kings are fools to allow the Triskelion to exist!
I swear on my life that those damn mages of the Triskelion summoned demons! We, the Keepers of True Faith, will reveal the evil the tower has raised to the world.
My forces have failed to enter the city for two years now—a minor setback.
But tonight, all that changes. My allies on the inside will open the southeastern gates for us.
Those heretics will have performed the ritual in the lowest level of the tower, the basement. This I know for a certainty. That is where I will lead my men.
My lucky sword? It's ready for blood! Tonight, we will prevail!
Purpose
Miranda Waley, like many officers within the
Keepers of True Faith, kept a private journal that chronicled many of her personal thoughts, frustrations, and military plans. Journal-keeping is promoted within the organization to maintain a peaceful mind. Because journaling is known to be a common practice among the Whitecloaks, Miranda Waley's journal was petitioned as evidence against the Whitecloaks in the investigation of the Siege.
History
The journal entry served as a critical piece of evidence in court by proving not only the unprovoked invasion by the Whitecloaks into the city of
Roue D'or and the Triskelion grounds, but also proving the existence of unknown bad actors within the Triskelion organization. As a result of this evidence in the trial against Miranda Waley, tensions between
Aster Prienne and Roue D'or rose to a breaking point leading to war.
Publication Status
On the morning of Kotallah 22, before Miranda Waley's release from prison and extradition to Aster Prienne, copies of her journal were published and released publicly for free by the Merchant King's offices to sway public opinion against Whitecloaks and to instill resolve for capturing the invasion's co-conspirators.
