Ulric's Journal Entries

While searching the tower of Ulric de Mowbray, the party located several of his journals. The entries includes text passages and drawings. Many of the early drawings were of stone objects. Much of the writing seemed distracted and the penmanship was poor.

Each entry included the year and day.

Year 1, Day 1
''The Obelisk is complete. The barrier has been activated and the only way past is with the amulets we've enchanted. The stones are in place along the ley lines and the siphoning has begun. The hardest part of our plan is no behind us. The process will be long - centuries, if we wish to remain subtle. But thanks to my spells I now have nothing but time. However, I fear how impatient my companions will grow.''

''Sorolok has sequestered himself in the north. He is content merely to watch through the stones until the danger has passed. He invades my mind with messages every few days and grows irritating, but he is harmless.''

''Kel'an walks among the humans to sate her masters cravings for blood. She lives in disguise for now, but I fear that the more lives she takes, the more suspicious the townsfolk will grow. She plans to live in the cities to keep attention away, which is a small blessing.''

''Yazuum has fled to her home on the Elemental Plane of Earth to continue her construction. When the humans are weaker she will make her move. Likewise, Ashe and Vardok. They desire only the suffering of civilization. With the obelisk complete, their work is done for now.''

''Orgram is content to consume the Shadowfell until he has gathered enough energy to make the leap to Ozma. His hunger grows with each passing day, but my power grows in time with his and should worse come to worse, Orgram can be taken care of. I need only destroy his heart in the Shadowfell.''

Year 3, Day 249
''Sorolok says that we are corrupting the land. The beasts grow twisted and more aggressive. I say let them. Wolves are of no interest to me.''

Year 370, Day 3
''I have exhumed my brother Gideon from the platinum sanctuary in Orcha. Though it has been many years since his passing, I wonder if there is any way to wrest his soul from the fires below. His body is irreparable, yes, but those can be remade. Perhaps one better suited to defending me.''

Year 385, Day 71
''A most unfortunate day indeed. My experiments have yielded disastrous results. While testing the limits of my growing power, I set the library ablaze. The damage to my body is widespread. Though I no longer age, injury can rob me of my ultimate goal.''

''I have begun researching ways to make my immortality more substantial. Necromancy seems promising.''

Year 411, Day 183
''A strange group has defeated the oblex. In truth, I am glad. I never meant to birth the creature. I was merely testing ways that a body might be grown.''

Year 412, Day 17
''The Twilight Rose defeated Gideon. He shall require another body. They've been joined by an unusual pair from Greymight. That they've gathered allies is...concerning but not insurmountable.''

''Sorolok continues to update me with their whereabouts. They are curious folk to be sure.''
