Explorer's Journal from Jil'nan

I have finally found what I believe to be the entrance. After years of searching and tracking down leads, something physical! The tunnels run all over under the city, but time and sand has shifted so that a portion can be entered in the Western section of the city. Tonight I make camp, tomorrow I delve.

{Torn}... quite a fright at first when stone moves... {Torn}

That door was quite a headscrather. I must have spent days working on it. Thankfully I was well equipped, and only an ever blowing bubbles lost!

I awoke to the sound of a massive shearing of rock. Can you believe it, an entire room with all of its equipment gone! I will have to start not just looking but taking it seems.

{Blood spatter}... taking was a bad idea... I'm going to rest for a while...{blood splatter}

Mirrors and shiny objects, check.

The denizens of this place... they frighten me... I'm making myself small and hiding...

My mind feels like it is fracturing. Every turn looks like the turn before it. And then I'm in a room! Maybe I've been here before... But it seems untouched... And I don't recognize what lies beyond it. Reality seems to be playing tricks on me.

60... only 60... what a cruel joke... months and months and months... So much time and sanity lost... Was it ever even real? A hoard to challenge the collective hoards of all the dragons of the Gu'us Empire? I saw it! My eyes saw it! I nearly touched it! Ah, I am a fool! Wait... I'm hearing a sound, I'll finish this entry later.
