Diary of Strahan Runeshadow
This leather-bound tome is cracked and worn with age. Some sort of crest has been burned into the cover.You can make out a series of interlocking triangles centred about the initials “SR”. The writing upon its pages has faded considerably, but the last few entries have been penned recently
Day 2 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign: At last, I have found it! The missing page of the Ap’Tarj Grimoire is now in my possession. As I had guessed, the page detailed the necessary components for the casting of the final transformation spell. I have all but one of the components. A drop of an immortal’s blood is all that stands between me and the eternal power of lichdom. With that I can open the portal into the Garden of Graves. But where can I find such a rarity? Perhaps I should seek the answer through divination.
Day 14 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign: After days of taxing divination spells, I finally have my answers. The divination revealed the location of an immortal and the portal to be somewhere within an ancient Mausoleum located in The Hive section of Sigil. I must make haste. I must find this creature and draw its blood before it moves on.
Day 15 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign: I went to The Mausoleum and opened the sarcophagus and found a figure lying within guarded by an awesome blue light which caused me great pain. I closed my eyes and reached within and was struck by lightning. The being within was guarded by some holy force I was unable to penetrate and beyond my means. I staggered back to this place and found that I had grabbed a shining blade which caused me great pain to hold. I fell to the ground and dreamed of a fiery altar which guarded a portal the key for which was a glowing green gem.
Day 19 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign:My spells had led me astray the Mausoleum lay but two hundred yards from the sarcophagus of the glowing tomb. Within lies a gate to the Feywild a portal which radiates the aura of death. Does it lead to the Garden of Graves?
Day 22 of the 127thYear of Factol Hashkar’s Reign:
I have finally gained access to the Mausoleum. When I arrived at the place my spells had indicated, I was set upon by a shade that guards the remains of those within this place. I managed to elude the spirit and found my way into what appears to have been some sort of inner sanctum. Protected by some minor wards to prevent any further interruptions by that supernatural twit, I have set about raising some of the locals to construct a searchfor the portal and the immortal. If my divinations are now accurate and the immortal is here, then likely it is interred within one of the many crypts that line these halls. It is only a matter of time ...
Day 23 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign: I have found the portal! It is the grave for a mighty warrior in the easterncorridors. Now all I need is the blood of the immortal to open it and obtain my objective ...
Day 26 of the 127th Year of Factol Hashkar’s Reign: I am not alone. Someone has entered the Mausoleum and is interfering with my servants. Could this be the one I seek? Does it carry the key to the portal? The divination revealed only that I would find the immortal here. Could it be that MY presence in this place has prompted that which I seek to seek ME out? What a delightful twist. I shall have to ...
