Journal From The Cladeon

The following document was translated into the modern language by the Kalmonian Monks in an effort to increase the understanding of what happened during the Cladeon. Some sections were not able to be translated due to weathering time. These were found preserved in what seems to have been a caravan crossing the voiceless fields. The journal belonged to an individual traveling with some family, it also appears that they took interest in writing down what they could to help others defeat the illithid and their kin. Day 4

It’s been three days since we’ve set forth in our journey to safety. Our home in Thalur was over run and we escaped with what we could throw in our carriage quickly and what we could carry. I sincerely hope that I can protect my husband and our kids. We need to meet up with others at the camp to figure out a way to fight these creatures off of all will be lost.

Day 6

We’ve been traveling for the last two days and have just made it to the camp as the sun was setting. They have set up an arcane field generator here to prevent the more monstrous creatures from gaining entrance. I worry more about the keen minded ones who I’ve seen finding a way to get through. If their slaves, or hell even one of them are able to control someone on the inside then the field could be shut down. We are no where near others at this point since the government fell.

Days 7-10

The last few days have been better since we arrived, there is good food and drink here and everyone is willing to help each other out. The sounds at night of horrors stalking just beyond the wall make sleep a little hard, sometimes even when you find it they will slip into your mind and the nightmares that they conjure are horrifying to the fullest extent. Visions of the creatures, writhing masses of squid like tentacles and their horrific wolf like beastial screams in my head at night.

Day 11

Camp almost fell today someone inside had their mind corrupted and then they began to move towards the field generator. Thankfully the guards were there to cut him down before he could do any real damage. My husband and daughters are all still doing fine, well as fine as can be.

Day 12

I’ve been thinking a bit about these creatures, those that have mental capabilities could likely be overwhelmed with some sorta psychic attack. We don’t yet know the limits of their abilities but I suspect they exist. I will begin adding notes into my other books about weaknesses and such as we discover them

Day 14

It happened… the generator has fallen the creatures took control of five people and overwhelmed the guards at the generator. Based upon the dragon I’ve seen above us recently I suspect this will be my last entry. This book will have been buried here near my notes so that when the camp here burns they are safe. I now must go be with my children for time is limited. I hope that these notes of mine are able to provide needed information in regards to the creatures and someday will aid in the recovery of civilization.



Further missions have been sent into the voiceless fields to try and find these books that where buried near by. It is unknown if they had previously been recovered and helped lead the battles against the illithid or if they never got buried in time and got burned and destroyed along with the rest of the camp.
