Thalivar's Journal

THALIVAR’S JOURNAL

This journal belonged to the wizard Thalivar and details the studies he conducted inside the tower using a device called The Planar Beacon. The light of this artifact drew creatures from across the planes and trapped them inside the tower for him to study. The journal reveals how Thalivar’s beacon unearthed a powerful magic item named the Ruinstone. Thalivar devoted himself to acquiring it — but whether he found it or not is a mystery. The entries stop here for over a hundred years.
Dates on the entries and the freshness of the ink reveal that the later entries have been made in the last few days. Thalivar describes how he visits a ruined version of his tower in his dreams each night. In this dead world, he is drawn to a pile of rubble in the ruined chamber where his beacon once lay. Each time he draws close to the rubble, a terrible dread holds him back. Thalivar wishes his faerie servant Soapwort were here to assure him that he’s dreaming, but the faerie never turns up. Thalivar prays that these nightmares will end soon so he may resume his studies in peace.
