1-First entry of my new journal. Those damned bandits took my last one, but I got them back. The king. .  . He's dead. The undead have slain him. The great wizard Avalier avenged him, but the undead screamed on an on about how they'd get their revenge. Hell, just right now they're still running around Oren, raiding and killing. I'm going to go to Oren, do what I can. Whoever reads this, know my intentions are noble. -Kraden  :: 2- It's been days, if not WEEKS since my last entry. At first, I found nothing of interest during my travels. I'd gone far North, South, East, West, EVERYWHERE. Hell, I'd almost given up and figured the Undead were gone. . . But then I saw him.  I was traveling by the Holmes' outpost near Whisper Isles. He had an odd red robe on. . . He hissed and yelled cryptic things. He mentioned "the Void" and insisted he was going to return our land TO the Void. He then took out a sword and froze it through some sick Witchcraft. He threw the frozen sword into the ground and looked up. . . And cold spilled out of him .  He continued saying odd things about the Void and how he was it's channel. He said the Void only talked to pure souls. after a few minutes, he said something about his form losing power and left. It was all very unsettling, and I realised then it would be unsafe to wander around. I went in search of a home, and I came across Winterfell. While registering to live here, I wandered a little South. There was some sort of odd tower, and I fell in a trap by the main door. Another hooded man came up to the hole and asked a man inside if he knew me. The man inside replied with "no", and soon I was sealed inside. If I hadn't remembered the powers of my Human soulstone, I might have never got out. . . Alive. After traveling back to Winterfell, I bought a nice home for only 500 minas. I'm currently sitting by my fire writing this.  I'll write more after I settle in.   -Kraden :: 3- It's been mostly calm since I bought my Winterfell home.  I gathered my old possesions from my Elven camp house, and brought them all here. Although calm, it's not been uneneventful.  There was a hooded, red-eyed man who came into the town but just dissappeared.  After him, a masked man with red eyes came into the town for a night, without moving past the front gate. He spoke of another world, where a man betrayed him. He says he woke up in Aegis, with charred black skin and no idea how he got here. He thanked all of the villagers for their kindness and then left, calling all of us friends. . . I later found out he is a known rogue. All went normal after that man left, with me logging and getting better armor. I traveled to the Dwarves to repair my sword whose condition is waning. While going through the desert-town pass, Kraemor or something like that, I came across a terrifying undead. He said I wasn't from those parts, and I told him how I lived in Southern Aegis for a long time.  He asked how I didn't know who he was, and then another man appeared. He asked if his hoe worked, and then a hold to the Void opened up. Next thing I knew I woke up in my bed, with all my items. I KNOW it wasn't a dream-  it was all too real. I have to find out who that man is. All I remember is he had long black hair, I believe some facial hair, and his awful red eyes. He may not brandish it while he walks around, but I'm sure if goaded enough he'd show his gold hoe. I'm going to go to the Mage's guild, which I now know for sure is that large tower with the traps.  I'll write my findings.  If I die, whoever finds this must give it to the Winterfell Blacksmith, an Elf across the road from my house. As of yet he's the only one who knows of my hostile Undead encounter. I need to know what's going on, and I want to know soon.  -Kraden :: 4- I failed.  I lost my way whilst trying to find the Mage's Guild, and found an undead stronghold instead .  I thought I'd been discovered when a strange man with red eyes and pale skin confronted me, but he said he was a scout sent from Oren to get into the Undead strongold. We tried to break in, and for a while I hadn't trusted the man. There was a piston door puzzle to get in, and I stayed in a room with levers while he did the same in a room above.  After about an hour I gave up. I tried to get out, but the door wouldn't open!  I lost trust in my impropmtu partner again but he came down hastily and figured out how to let me leave.  Both of us parted at this time , and instead of going home I kept going south to try to find the Mage tower. Sometime during this venture, I had gotten turned around.  Soon I found myself lost in mounti ns, and there was a castle in the distance.  The only house I found was empty and had a sign out front saying the BlackAxes or something like that were taking over. I got into the castle, but nothing was inside.  I tried to go home at this point, but lost my way.  After days of running around, I found a large farm. After walking to it, I noticed the plants were fresh and growing, but no one was around. I noticed a light in the distance, but it was a lava lake. At this point, I remembered my Soul stone.  I ended up back in Oren, and walked home. I'm determined to find the tower.  -Kraden (Side note- I found a small underground home and farm , but took nothing.  It's just south of Winterfell.  I'll try to visit it later, when the tenant is home.  The more friends I have up North the better, with the undead running amuck.)
