Journal of Dame Giselle

This small, leather-bound book was written by Dame Gisele of Marnot between the years 675-677 CE. It details part of her life as a sentinel with l'Ordre Fantome (the Ghost Order), and (among many other exploits) details the binding of the lloigor in what is now called Longshadow Dale and the creation of the belltower and mound where Heathersly is now sited. It is written in Lalange, and it includes the Ritual of Incatenare (the Chaining Ritual) and information about the lloigor.

Significance

“Chaining the Dragon” 

This ritual, called the Ritual of Incatenare, is found buried in the journal. This is a binding spell. If the ritual succeeds, the llogoir will become briefly visible to all present, who are then subject to the creature’s sanity effects (Resilience vs. Terror at -4). The specifics of the spell require the continued ringing of bells during the ritual and the spreading of a special flour, ground from acorns to which a sprig of mistletoe has been added during the grinding process.
