sconn
It was a crowded day in the Al'khazar marketplace. I was looking at the new building, when a man walked up to me. He said: Do you know of a book called Sconn's philosophy. i froze. I knew what the man was looking for. And i knew that he knows about my dark past. I acted like i dont know what he was looking for. But he wouldnt give up. Then he told me that he will pay 200 minas if i give him the original copy. I was desperat for money. I had to accept I told him i will be right back with the book. I ran home. I immedietly threw over the bed and took the book from the secret bookshelf. When i came back i saw the man talking to the king. He asked him if he could meet someone called the whisperer. I started to suspect him. When they stopped talking he took me to his shop. I gave him my book and he gave my his money. I was a little afraid that he will give it to the guards. But the Sconn that did those things is gone. Now only the new Sconn remains. The old Sconn died when he set himself on fire. But that experience is in another book. A book that i have hidden and is more important to me than life itself. For it describes the moment when i lost my insanity. later that day i met an archmage I have seen him alot in Al'khazar. I asked how to join the mages guild. He told me that i have to keep a journal. And so i started wrritting. Later this day i saw some people gambling in the city I joined them in there game. I was loosing a lot of money. I keept loosing but i couldnt stop. It is a good thing a zombie pigmen stopped me gambling. He badly injured a lot of people and we were took to the monastery to heal. one of us lost diamond armour and plenty of golden hoes. when we came back there was a long fight onwho took the stuff. Eventuly he got all of his stuff back. I must have lost at least 100 minas in the gambling. Today i noticed a lack of guards in the city. The only people guarding is the new captain and his wife. I also noticed that there is a inn just under my house. I am scared that someone might hear my footsteps, or me closing the door. my house has plenty of valuables so I must keep it a secret. I listen to their conversations every day. They are just normal people. THESE NEXT COUPLE OF PAGES DESCRIBE MY SEARCH FOR CATARIS'S JOURNAL. I was walkin on th bridge betwenn Kal'alras and Winterfell. That is when i noticed a body on the frozen lake. I jumped from the bridge and ran to the body. I searched the body for clues of death. All i could find was arrows sicking from the ground. The dead man had a book. The name of it was rumors. It described forgoten knowledge, and an Archmages journal. The book said that the treasures lie on the bottom of the lake near Winterfell. I immediatly started search the bottom of the lake for signs of this treasure I found nothing. Then i decided to look in the other lakes. I could only find water and ice. My search brought me to a small mansion. I stayed there for the night. When i awoke i went back to my search. In the middle of the day i found a great tower in the middle of nowhere. I wanted to check if there is anyone there. But the tower was locked with iron blocks. At that point I was completely lost. I had soulstoned out of that place. But my search is not over. Today I decided to go scout the undead base. I traveledmany days and nights. Luckely there was no one there and the gates were open. I sneaked in the main tower. I observed what they could see. I tried to mark a position where the attackers could hide. The tower seemed to have a good view of ewerything. Then I spotted a huge mine. The undead seemed to have rooms there. When i wandered in the mines I spotted a halway with rooms that had teryfiying names. One was called the drowner, the other the chrusher, there was the burner and many more. The names told me exactly what they were made for. But I had to test them. The drowner is a room with pistons that unleash water that completely fills the room. The burner is just a big furnace that lights the floors on fire. The chrusher was a room with pistons on the side, which crush you into the naxt wall. There was a room which floors can dissaper, and it throws into the dephts. At that moment i heard lightning. I knew that the undead were here. I looked at the rooms again and said to miself that I cannot be caught. I decided to sneak up on the undead and kill them. I ran outside but the undead were nowhere to be seen. it was a bright day but lightning striked outside the fortress. I ran as fast as I could knowing that I am a sitting duck if they see me. I ignored all of the monstrosities that were chasing me. When I finaly came to snowyfields I rested and continued my journey to Al'khazar. When i arrived in Al'khazar i heard news of a party i Haven. I immedietly emptied my bag and headed to the kings road. On the kings road I meet to other humans. They were also heading to the party. When we arrived we wnt to the inn. There a man showed us to the lower part of the inn where the party was hosted. We drank a lot. The ascended had to empty out all of Haven of its ale. When most of us begin to sober there were the questions. If we anwsered correctly we would get diamonds. I caught 2 diamonds when the questions were anwsered. After that came the dangerous part. If we would anwser wrong there would be arrows firerd from dispensers. Everyone was drunk so there were alot of arrows sticking from the wall. Soner or later we anwsered all of the questions. Then came the games part. everybody was locked out of the main hall, while the ascended preparred mazes for us. On the end of each maze were 4 diamonds. There were water mazes, piston mazes and just plain mazes. I got 4 more diamonds. after that the party moved to the southern gate. I didnt stay too long. I then soulstoned out to Al'khazar. There i sold my diamonds. With the money I got I rented a room in building. I moved all of my belongings from my inn. I setlled in and began to re-decorate. When I finished I was contacted with old friends from the time when i was evil. I will not reveal there names even in this journal. They still tought that I was evil. I didnt explain to them that I have turned to the right side. I just left them. I hope I will not have contact with those evil people. I tried to reveal their names to the guards but I could not. Tonight I awoke refreshed and rested. I feel a great power growing within me. Then i heard lightning. My great morning was immedietly destroyed. More thunder stroke. I stumble out off my bed. I get dressed. I grabed my armour and weapons. When I was prepared I ran outside to see what has happened. The thunder stopped. A few hours later i hear news that the king is dead. It was a reliefe when i saw the king in person and realised that they lied. After that I head out to Winterfell. I always wanted to see the great prison tower in person. Sadly the doors were locked. I tried to go around but there was no way. after some time I see a cave. I explored it and mined some minerals. I continued throw the cave. Suddenly i found miself exiting from an unknown entrance. It was getting dark fast. I had no items and no weapons. I ran to tha nearest house. I entered and stayed there for the night. soon I left the home. I was lost for a little while but soon i found my way back to civilization. Today I have discovered my houses history. I have searched In the libraries for years now. And I think that I have finnaliy found my history. The only thing I know is that my mother worked in a brothel. And my father ran away when I was born. My fathers name was Alashar Hawkwind. He had no wife and no money. My family was always poor. It was not a noble house but a house obsessed with magic. They used to have a house in Al'khazar. My father used up all of his money in the search for magic. I read books he had wrriten about his experiments. All of them were a faliure. He spent his last days wandering around brothels spending all of the money he had left. I wonder how many other brothers my father made me when he was on his trip throw the brothels of Aegis. I have mistaken myself. I am not from the family Hawkwind. A new district has been built today. The houses are still under counstruction, but not for long. They are only 1500 minas. The houses are fairly big. I will buy one when lord thunder finishes them. I will be glad to rid misellf of my current tiny apartment. I finnaly bought the house. Originaly it had 2 stories but i added another one. One floor is the size of my appartment. I still need to tell the owner that i will be leaving my appartment. Later that day i had a visit. It was a friend from when i was still evil. I couldnt afford anyone seaing him. I told him to crouch and whisper to me. An annoying orc almost found out about him. It was a good thing I had an iron door locked. I told my friend that i will meet him in the sewers. I will try to explain that i turned to the right side. I tried many times to tell the guards about him. But i just couldnt do it. I have decide that i will lock the entrance to my house with cobble. That way no orc will bother me. I bought another house that is right next to my house. I connected both of them. Now I have more room than i need.
