it is on this day that on my wanderings in the far north, i witnessed
aweful things. I do not know if what i have to say has been witnessed by
others, but 14 months ago nothing like what i have seen was where i was.
it all started when i found a cairn stone which read as follows:
In the days of the Evil spawned of Lord Sartan's Brood, a Child of
Twilight shall come to the forest. There he will meet a Child of Gaia,
and be her mate and do her bidding. The Powers of Darkness and Nature
shall be strong within them. As the forests are burned and the Day of
Reckoning comes nigh, there shall be one born of their unholy union -
Istishia, the Arachnoi Queen. On that day, the guilty shall tremble.

I thought about this, and remembered the strange rumbling noises i heard
with the coming of somnustra.
Curious, i pressed on, i found myself at a tower with a woman in black,
who outside of this tower i witnessed the most horrid thing, piles of
rotting corpses littering the ground. Even more horridthan that, some of
them were twitching.
Feeling as if i may have stumbled upon something, i pressed on
more...and found myself in the cave of none less than the arachnoi
queen. I swallowed my fear, and attempted communication, trying to find
what little information i could. Her reply was not in words...to say it
plainly, she wounded me to near death in a matter of seconds. It was by
the graces of the gods i made it out alive.

These things are all very strange indeed, by posting here i wish to
share these findings, as nobody i have spoken to has witnessed these
things. I will venture out again perhaps, once i spend some time to
contemplate in meditation to swallow down these horrible scenes i have
beared witness to.
