486 Journal of a Something, Volume 7 TehLulu I grow increasingly frustrated As Prince Toren commented, "Spider webs within Spider webs" I have stumbled head first into these webs, and now I am stuck I've determined no more about my past, but that matters not now This plot I mentioned reaches further than I imagined, clawing its way into nearly every race in Aegis. I have confirmed that this plot is being perpetrated by the Dark Brotherhood. They wish to see the empire of the humans fall, and likely the Orcs as well. It seems they plot to attack within the next month. Elvador also made mention of a portal they wished to create. Inside lie some sort of monsters that the Brotherhood wishes to kill. It seems the elves are the ones most manipulated by this evil. The leader of one of their army branches, the Sentinels, is a worshipper of Iblees. High Guardian Mayctor... He is evil, yet his intentions appear good...he wishes to protect the Elves. So he assures me that Laurelin will remain safe, and that the Elves will not be attacked. What he has done to gain this assurance, I do not know. But I believe he may be a threat to the High Prince, if the Prince decides to act against him. I have found a new ally in the Pathfinder's current leader, Atles. He also believes a great evil is coming...but I will believe that when I see it. For the evil he predicts is far greater than that of what the Brotherhood could manage. Had I the strength for it, I would go to the North, where he claims to have found a small, dark village. Yet this same village his associates say is part of Oren. But as I have mentioned, my condition worsens by the day. As I spoke to Mayctor in Ravenhold, I was prepared to fight him should he strike me. Yet in truth, I do not believe I could have held my sword up. Prince Toren, who I had met at Ravenhold along with two other princes and the PRincess, agreed with me that Mayctor seemed quite mad. I sent him with a book of my notes to deliver to Native, in the event I was attacked. All turned out fine however, and he has become a quiet ally of mine, as the other Princes are far too blinded to see Mayctor's true face. Mayctor claimed he had information I sought, but refused to tell me. He also told me that only one other knew of what he did, and that he would never talk... In addition, Atles told me that some of the Pathfinders that had deserted had become bandits. I will have to see if they have anything to do with this matter. But for now, I've but one lead... a name Lafthi and Prince Loren both told me. An elf by the name of Rolok, who supposedly lives in Laurelin. I must find and speak with him.
