Parchment		Clearly this was once a place of military activity, but who were they fighting? Were we once at war with these people? It would seem we won. How could such events be completely erased from our histories? Thaven believes that somewhere down here lies the true source of our power. I cannot make sense of any of this, I wish now that I had been less dismissive of Thaven's theories.	Corlian's Office, in a desk	Likely written by Corlian
Parchment		That idiot and his thugs are still sending many down here. I must admit I am impressed by his methods, in some ways he is less a fool than he appears. I must take advantage of this and resume my research while I still can. I've yet to find a place where I w-	Entrance to Corlian's Office	Likely written by Corlian
Parchment		This place begins to intrigue me. Thaven understands more things than I imagined. What if he is right? It would change everything. How could we be so ignorant? If I had more time I believe I would undertake his mission. I wonder what changes he has brought about by now with these discoveries. These are important times, I would live to see them.	Corlian's Bedroom	Likely written by Corlian
Parchment		I'm sitting in a tavern, something I have not done a long time. Alas it is quite empty and all the drink has spoiled long ago. These people cannot have been so different from us. And yet some things are very strange. There are lamps and even fires that never burn out, I do not understand the source of their power. These walls echo with the souls of the long dead but beneath that I sense something else, like a far reaching presence, it is faint but everywhere, and very strange. Could this be the mythical Guardian? Or even Thaven's Spellgiver?	Tavern	Likely written by Corlian
Old Parchment		A mouldy old scroll that's too damaged to read.	Planning Room, table and in adjacent office
Old Parchment		I have been informed that the conservers have spies amongst us. Despite our differences I cannot imagine that they're looking to harm us, or even impede our mission here. I cannot in truth see much reason to prevent them from knowing of our progress, I am inclined to just let them get their information rather than waste resources and encourage doubt and suspicion amongst us.	Bedroom, inside a chest
Parchment		I've been avoiding relations with my subjects as it could become a serious impediment to my work. I did not imagine that I would miss human contact so much. Papin could have carried my legacy but I now treasure his company and friendship more than anything. Even so I deeply regret the loss of a lifetime of imparted knowledge and teachings. If I were to succeed poor Papin would never truly have reaped the benefits of his apprenticeship but he accepted this and was always eager and gratef- -s too late now, I must not dwell on it any longer.	Corlian's Lab	Likely written by Corlian
Parchment		I discovered a truly miraculous substance. It produces a faint light and a pungent odour, when I touched it a wound on my hand I acquired during my cuttings healed rapidly. It was astounding. I have experimented with it but so far it has proven ineffective against my illness. If only I could find more. It was well hidden, obviously it is something of great value. I thought perhaps the lamps contained this substance but I was unable to break one open, when I finally removed one from the wall it gradually lost its light.	Corlian's Lab	Likely written by Corlian
Book		This log is filled with detailed reports of people violating certain rules. Most of these rules are obviously aimed at preventing the entry of intruders. They are strict and elaborate to the point of seeming a product of paranoia.	Courtroom Floor	Possibly written by the original inhabitants
The Kingdom Beyond		The Kingdom Beyond by Alisian Dayen. In a brutal battle a knight named Buto is trapped behind enemy lines. He fights valiantly but is overwhelmed and captured. His captors demand strategic information, but his interrogator is kind to him and tries to win him over to their cause. Buto is loyal to his king and will not give them anything of import. In time however a friendship is established between him and his interrogator. One day the interrogator reveals himself as the very king of Buto's captors and tells him that through their exchanges he has learned much to gain an advantage in the war. He offers Buto his freedom, so that he can return to his king and that one day they might meet again in battle. As Buto leaves his prison he sees the people he would assail in a new light and is disheartened, he knows too that he may be received by his own people as a traitor. And so he asks if he can stay and lead a simple life. The king consents, knowing that he will grow to love and cherish his new home and people, a formidable warrior who will rise to protect them.

The Guardian of the Underworld		This book explores various myths surrounding the Guardian but does so in what seems like a tendentious manner, casting him in a more positive light than he is commonly viewed in. You suspect it is tied to some cult dedicated to the worship of the Guardian. The Guardian of the Underworld, known also as the Keeper of the Dead, is the most prominent figure in our mythology. As with most our myths it differs depending on whom you ask, the Guardian's role in particular is an ambivalent one. There is fear of what he represents and of his dark and dangerous realm but there is also a feeling of deference and a belief that he will watch over our loved ones once they pass away. We inter our dead to consign them to the Guardian's care and we believe that he will grant them a life beyond this one. Behind the intimidating titles and malicious curses the Guardian is also a giver of life. He is said to restore life to those that have fallen in his service, or that some become beholden to him owing to their resurrection. Perhaps the most notable myth is that in a time of dire need the Guardian will raise an army of those given into his care to defend us. What is it then that he guards? Does he simply watch over our dead and his dreadful realm or might it be that he is in fact our protector?	Corlian's Lab	Likely owned by Corlian
The Guardian's Wrath		The Earth on which we walk is our mother, she provides for us all that we may need. Our ancestors, in their mad lust for power sought more, they began to dig deep into our Earth, in search of her lifeblood. And so by digging they uncovered the Underworld and its fearsome Guardian. He sent forth terrible demons to drive them out and hunt them down. Before all could be slain, our ancient kin sealed the entrances to the Underworld and swore never to return. Thus we are allowed to live upon this Earth, but ever under the watchful eye of the Guardian.	Corlian's Lab	Likely owned by Corlian
