Day 1 :: Today I caught word of a siege of the town of New Terriko and furthermore the sandst one village of Kramoroe. I headed off from my colleague Destro's house in Alras to investigat e. As I arrived in Kramoroe I noticed that it was in even worse state than it was when I last visited, directly after the Dark Queen's attack. Many citizens of the town were preparing bun kers and shields. I stayed in the house of a black orc by the name of Gore-something. :: Day 2 :: Sure enough, the preparation was all in vain. The undead were not attacking, so I decided to investigate. I walked east towards New Terriko - where a strange bolt of lightning was coming from. As I approacher, I noticed that the lightning was coming from a strange obsidian relic embedd ed in the netherrack base of an arena. Around the arena, legions of soldiers from all the maj or races of Aegis were chanting and yelling as the lightning repeatedly struck. I took advant age of my natural elven subtlety and sneaked quietly amonst the crowd, asking what was happen ing. I was told it was not safe here and I should go home. I told them I was a scientist so I stood out of view. :: Day 3 :: I have got myself in a terrible plot. That army was known as the Wolverines of Ne w Terriko and they were planning to recapture the city from an apparently hidden undead menac e. I informed them with their numbers they would not be able to storm the keep, alas, they di d not listen. :: Day 4:: The army stormed the keep successfully. Unfortunately it was yet aga n only a plot by the undead. They trapped us inside the citadel and slaughtered the forces. O nly five survived. I informed them again that the keep had a back entrance. Of course they di d not listen...two men confronted the sorcerers and were killed before my eyes. Well. That's
