I must retrieve my pendant that is behind an illusionary wall.

The camp is in a state of disarray.

Footprints leading away from the site are suddenly disappearing without any indication of a body.

It is as though the missing person vanished.

How many have lost their lives here? Dozens, at the very least.

There should be more remains...

This mural depicts a form of channeling that is unlike anything that I have witnessed in other cultures.

Legends suggest that the Zoelae could manipulate the weather and the very rock of this mountain.

However, the Zoelae have long since become extinct.

Did they pay the ultimate price for their methods of Thaumaturgy

Or did some other factor contribute to their demise?

Amazing... the texture is warm and slick.

Despite the appearance of being made of mud and rock, it has a heartbeat of 20 beats per minute.

Unfortunately, I don\'t have the luxury of examining it further.

Brahm the Wanderer, the eidolon of the Brahmist Order, lies within this tomb.

Some believed him to be a deity, while others viewed him as a messiah.

However, Orbis maintains that Brahm would find both beliefs to be laughable.

Nevertheless, I am left to wonder what advice he would provide if he were here now.

According to legend, King Barand disguised himself as an ordinary citizen

And traveled throughout his kingdom in his early years as king.

He was known as a kind and just ruler

However, his mental state deteriorated following the death of Brahm.

His madness ultimately led to the Succession War

Causing widespread destruction and loss of life.

Even before his descent into madness,

It\'s uncommon to find any favorable accounts of the king in literature.

Unfortunately, the aftermath of his decisions still affects us today.

Another Witch of Morgu.

The atmosphere is hostile and full of angst.

It appears that my presence is not welcome.

Brahm reported that the land of Arev lies to the northeast

Comprising a small and unwelcoming continent.

The coastline is inhospitable

With steep cliffs of jagged rock rising hundreds of feet above the churning sea.

Scaling these cliffs is the sole means of accessing the island

A perilous endeavor that a handful have attempted

And only one has ever returned to recount.

I wonder if it exists…

A beacon has gone dark.

It is a portent of the peril that is engulfing this world.

This place was once my home, filled with countless memories.

Unfortunately, little remains of it.

I am grateful that my parents are not here to witness its current state.

This massive tree was able to grow due to the abundance of Aether in the area.

However, its appearance has faded in recent weeks

And it no longer possesses the same vibrancy as before.

The Owl Brothers may be viewed as either a mere superstition or a clever fairy tale.

Intended to deter children from wandering too far at night.

Regardless, they will remain silent for now.

Seurrish Troops…

They stood their ground and gave their lives to defend the city from the Drothar.

They’ll be remembered as the heroes of their people. I’ll make sure of it.

I knew the young girl who played with this toy.

I hope she was able to escape this place.

The tree has been completely eviscerated.

The sap continues to spread throughout the swamp.

This altar is heavily saturated with blood and other substances necessary for Thaumaturgy sacrifice.

Although it is difficult to determine what was sacrificed last

The evidence of such a sacrifice has left an indelible mark.

Channeling is a far less malevolent practice.

I am curious if this Lleugh was attempting to revive

Or perhaps regrow, the one who conjured it.

How many years have you tended her grave?

I’m sorry, I had no alternative.

These pillars were constructed by the Zoelae approximately 580 years ago

And have yet to exhibit any signs of wear.

A truly remarkable feat.

The lands of the Zoelae claimed another merchant.

I am left to wonder if it was profit or adventure that drove them to risk their lives.

The waterfall defies the laws of nature, flowing in reverse - against the natural order.

Whether phenomena such as this occurs where Aether is abundant

Or if the phenomena itself causes Aether to gather is yet to be determined.
