The Journal of Icthiadore the Robust, Vol 12.01.2
This book resides amongst dozens of other books high on the shelves of the study of Kalevoor Castle. Fairly small and aged amongst the other books with gilded spines and decorated titles. The book itself is a worn leather covering the color darkened with age, soot, and dirt. Other volumes can be found amongst the shelves but most are almost unreadable.
Purpose
Icthiadore himself tells the tale of the first attack by the great dragon known as Malavoor Doh' Malis.
Historical Details
Background
The great Kalevoor Castle was built sometime at the end of the second age. Built originally as a human stronghold in the Northern Eigerlands it was supposed to be a safe haven for the human kingdom of Eigeria and the King known as Wahlgren the Survivor. Sometime during the shattering it was abandoned as the residents either fled or were purged by elven forces. In the years just after the shattering a wizard by the name of Ichthiadore the robust now flush with power claimed it as his own. He spend the next two decades perfecting a spell so powerful that it lifted the entire area and propelled it a thousand feet in the air.
Suspended now, the castle and it's surrounding land, provided a safe haven for Icthiadore as he pursued his studies and power. Sometime during that century a dragon set his eyes upon the castle and desired it. In a pitched battle the wizard and the dragon fight using a wide array of spells. The journal ends with an exhausted Icthiadore as he settles down the following day. The dragon seems to have reatreated for now. Unfortunately the wizard details his next few days as a strange malady seems to plague him. A level of exhaustion that he has rarely felt throughout his long life seems to wear him down as he tries to rebuild his defenses. He searches his spellbook for any help and does not find one. Perhaps he can convince a cleric to assist him. This is where it ends.
