Expedition notebook

Inside of a mercane chest, not yet sent due to the antimagic field in the Blood Glade, these notes are the only remaining proof of Taamba's presence and task to investigate the glade.
The collection of vellum pages bound by bark covers is almost not written in. Only the first few pages have been written. The last page is full of scribbles, unconnected sentences and questions hard to untangle.

Expedition notebook

The stories told to children (or tadpoles as they are known here) at night to scare them and keep them safely inside of their village at night are true!
A glade where the plants have red veins and a reddish tint. The whole area feels... odd and strangely powerful. Now I just need to discover how to make use of this blood magic, power, or whatever it is. I am thankful I brought provisions, as I haven't seen animals in a long while.
⚌
Whatever it is, it seems it has blocked all my magic. I am not sure how I am meant to study it without being able to investigate its powers with my spells. I guess I'll resort to cataloguing the plants growing around here, and maybe afterwards I will dig a hole to see what the ground and roots of these plants look like.
⚌
The roots were dripping with blood as soon as I cut them open, but the ground doesn't seem to be pooling blood. That means that the blood is arriving here through magical means. What ff the ley line was affected when the Terse desert was created? Could a disruption in the ley line have created this site? Do ley lines bleed?
