-----------------Book I-------------------------- Day 1 ::I have travelled to a nice, solitary land with my Elven counterpart Elessar. We have set up a small, cozy hideaway to gather supplies to sell in Al'Khazar. It is cold here, especially with the bitter freezing that the winter season has brought. Despite the weather, however, Elessar still hunts and brings back game for me to skin and make jackets and hats from. Whilst Elessar is hunting, I go into the mines to fend off hordes of goblins and mysterious Nether creatures some call pigmen. It is a nice, undisturbed life. ::Day 2 ::It is becoming colder each day. I have lost a finger to frostbite. I hope Elessar keeps all of his , as an archer can't shoot without a middle finger. I just wish this Godforsaken winter would end... :: Until then, I suppose we can spare more coal for our heater. ::Day 3 ::Elessar has gone missing. I am without food, without company, and without a friend. I hope he returns, seeing as he would die in only a few days without shelter and fire... ::Day 4 ::I fell whilst walking down the stairs to the mine. I broke my arm, and I broke the handle of my sword. I got ambushed by goblins after my fall, and without weapons to defend myself, they made off with my pickaxe. Now I can not mine coal, and my heater is only on 4 nuggets left. I hope Elessar is okay... ::Day 5 ::I heard screams coming from Al'Khazar. I decided to abandon this cramped hellhole of a hideout to investigate. I left a note for Elessar, should he return, along with the last of the coal and some fur that I fashioned a coat out of. ::Day 6 ::The cries I heard from Al'Khazar were the result of an undead attack. I gazed upon the ruins of the gate and crept into the city. There I found a celebration of victory within Al'Khazar; the undead portal was destroyed and a monument was put up to celebrate. Despite all of this, the best part about the visit was that I found Elessar. He didn't tell me why he was there, and I didn't care. I was just happy to see him alive. ::(There is a mass of torn pages that can't be read) ::Day 15 ::Elessar and I decided to stop by the Rusty Hook tavern for some cheap liquor and a place to lodge for the night. ::(The rest of the page is soaked in ale)
