Section titled “Journal Entries”1590, Rising Calcyr, II (glowing a vibrant, amber orange)
The laboratory has been quiet this morning; perfect for some focused reading. Magister Fa’Lun procured an interesting manuscript about the Primordial Titans. It details Orghvaan, The Emperor Of Earth singlehandedly resisting the power of Selenephoe, Wroth, and an unnamed 3rd Archon.
It makes me wonder what happened to his power; and how one would go about replicating such a feat…
1590, Fading Calcyr, II (glowing a dim, burnt orange)
Additional research has led me to ponder something I cannot find mention of in the records; why did it take Mortals to overcome the Primordial Titans? There’s many a mention of Archons overpowering their Illchorian brethren, but none that suggest the Archons - let alone a singular member - ever beat a Primordial. It puzzles me more given the Archons had no trouble suppressing the Primordial when they originally arrived.
I have to be careful who I discuss this with, the implication that Mortals have a special power that the Gods do not would be powerful ammunition for the Magisters. Further research will have to wait; the Druids of Colum’Tylas have asked for assistance with a territory dispute. As far as I understand, they wish a barrier placed around some tree root - to what end I do not understand…
1590, Rising Soldys, II (glowing a vibrant, cheddar yellow)
My time with Rootkeeper Solusya was surprisingly pleasant. Garrett had set my expectations of the Druids quite low; but I now see he’s just not intellectual enough to appreciate their culture.
As to be expected; she was rather knowledgeable about The Primordials - but her explanations lacked the rigor that a scholar like myself requires. Her suggestion is that The Primordials were not originally quelled through force, but perhaps by a negotiation of sorts.
It’s a fascinating insight but I cannot cite the whims of the spirits in my thesis proposal. Perhaps I need to look beyond the archives of Tahl’Lethys…
1590, Rising Boros, VI (glowing a vibrant, vegetal green)
The Magisters in Lex’Emplitus have finally granted me access to their Druidic archives - I did not realize they kept anything that isn’t Scripture within their walls. As expected however; any records that even vaguely suggest that the Archons are not the be-all-and-end-all of power has been redacted using strange runes. I could not parse them, but Solusya inferred that they were a seamless blend of Fey and Giant magic.
A colleague of hers; Umyr - a tall Woman with giant-like runes and pointy ears, suggested that I visit the peaks of the Mystveil Mountains within the Feywilds…
1590, Fading Indyth, I (glowing a dim, sky blue)
Attempts to probe the nexus have proven challenging; the closest yet occurred yesterday when 3 serpent-like creatures thrust from it and nearly dragged me within it; I presume these are the “Gandyrs” I was warned about.
If there are answers about “Drasiyl” within this nexus - they are too well guarded for me to gleam at this time.
I must return to Tahl’Lethys to begin work for The Man With A White Mask
