A Necromancer Ponders Death

Jhin and Meta introduced me to a group of...people (mostly people) so we could help them with a problem, a gang called the Bloaters. They seem...well, Eleonora seems nice. It was a little fun, though I'm not as good at lying as I used to be. I'l...

Well I guess I am sticking around them seeing as I live with these people now. At least I know how to fortify my room from Celrin, unusual lady. I mean, it's no comparison to x’s manor but it's..well it's kinda better honestly...

Wren, remember when Lian told you not to make stupid rash decisions? You should have listened. I spent a few days scouting out the Institute here, The Institute of Hydroarcanic Power, um, and then I joined it. It seems innocent enough, they have inter...

Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Oops. So I may have gotten in a little trouble. Okay, from the beginning: I came home (that sounds weird 'home') and Eleonora was in the study so we spoke for a while. She told me she only recently found out she c...

Out of the frying pan and into the fire. Is that the phrase? It's applicable here. Almost immediately after we escaped Baron Oelrich, by the skin of our teeth, we went immediately into the forest to go find this...Wretch. To be fair, we didn't have a choi...

We delivered the body of Jan to Jhin at the castle. In exchange for the body of his enemy we were invited to a party. Northal's a weird place. Conveniently (or unconventionally, I'm really not sure which) the party is at Baron Oelrich's estate. The one I...

I've always thought that knowledge is a good thing. But the thing, is yesterday I had less of it, and I think I was a lot happier. The party ended abruptly after the host decided to overthrow King Jhin by storming his castle. I should say tho...

I had a dream that I was back in the study. He was there. He was mad. I was... disappointing. Nothing new. The new part was when I woke up the spell that we were working on was in my spell book. Written down, just like I was writing it in the dream. I wok...

Celrin, Rainer and Nora got back this week. Honestly it's kind of nice to have the house full again. And there's more of Celrin, she has an arm now. Well, another one. It's fascinating really, I don't know how she got it though. And oddly enough adding s...

Well, Ele's okay. She just woke up. Only now I can't sleep, so I came to the study. The guilt has eased a bit though- she doesn't seem to blame me too much. Azrael did help me come up with an idea for tomorrow in the meantime though. I'm nervous- which ...

Did you know there are bird people!?!? Well, I guess you didn’t. You’re me. I didn’t! Do you know how often I read? Yes you do, stop asking your journal stupid questions Wren. I thought I knew everybody in the Esterland Valley but these things liter...

Incapable. INCAPABLE! Incapable: Adjective A. unable to do or achieve (something) B. unable to behave rationally or manage one's affairs; incompetent. I've achieved a lot thank you very much! I helped kill the Wretch, AND a demon now. I have a house A...

Fortudo is beautiful. The people, not so much. Right there at the Cadgegap they took Rhea's potions. I mean, I've been carrying them around for a while now, I guess they were mine at this point. I wasn't planning to sell them or anything- but, she made th...

Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I.. Well haven’t wanted to. But I guess Lian was right, it’s good for your brain, helps you remember, makes you better, blah blah blah. So.. when we were waiting for our contact, after everybody else got into th...

I didn't know he was Bagolian when I slit his throat. Well, I guess I kind of did. But I really didn't care. If he was from Northal would I have cared? Should I have cared? Wait, let me back up. We're on a boat right now. Reminder Wren: Boats are terr...

K. Soo.. didn't get to ask her about the Lexicon. I was too busy dying from the DRAGON that she sicked on us. That's right HER DRAGON. And I can't really say I fought a dragon because I just ran to Eleonora to do that life transfer spell and then before ...

I ended up meeting Eleonora on the way to the castle, and she said she could help me translate. It's obvious that we haven't been on the same page lately, but I'm very glad that at the end of the day she's still my friend. She's just, she's just a good p...

When you're not happy with the choices you've made, is it better to blame fate or yourself? Because if you blame yourself you can at least mentally berate and torment yourself for it. And that, after a while, will make you feel better. If nobody else is ...

Well, my first prophesy came true. Noppa left. But I don’t think he left hating me, and that’s something. He also used a truth spell on me. Bastard. He’ll be missed. Not one to waste a spare room apparently Jhin seemed to find us a replacement b...

You know how in stories bookstores are always creepy old places run by a mysterious tiny old lady and the lady ends up seeing into the heroine’s soul and leading her to exactly what she was looking for since the first chapter? It was kinda like that..I ...

Turns out the animals wasn’t what I should have been worried about. Turns out Celrin’s past isn’t just coming for her, it came for all of us. And I spent most of last night attempting not to die. Eleonora spent most of the night trying to save my li...

Celrin died. I watched her head disconnect fly from her body as it went limp. When I started studying the forces of life and death I thought that would make it less frightening. Death. Makes sense right? If you can control the energies that manipulate lif...

DAY 1 AT SEA I'm on a ship manned by a crew of Soulreaved. I can easily count this as the most awesome thing I've ever done. L̶i̶a̶n̶ ̶w̶o̶u̶l̶d̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶s̶o̶ I should feel excited? I'm trying to talk with everyone and ask detailed and in...

I haven't written in this one one for a while, but I suppose telling the events of the day into my current research notebook (Vol. 34) wouldn't be apropos of today's events -even as entertaining as Vol. 34 is! Still, I suppose fighting an invading arm...

I was part of something big. Really big. The fewer details I write down the better, but know I’m dying inside not being able to tell them. What we did changed history! They’ll write about it in books for centuries to come! And it will be a mystery- to...

Lian is here. I wish I had a funnier, more clever way to say that, but that’s all I can wrap my head around right now. He’s here. He’s at my house. He’s in my bedroom! Right this second right now. There’s a time when just thinking about t...

I’m going to die. We’re all going to die. You’re not going to die. You are paper and ink. But I am going to die, and not in the 'everybody is going to die' way. I'm going to die this week though. I mean, did I always know I was going...
