The swamps of N’rolav are harsh. You defiantly have to stay on your toes. I have been hunting here for some time now trying to conserve some of my health potions for next level when I shall once again try to hunt in the desert tomb. It is easy to get distracted in N‘rolav. Once you turn your back on an enemy at an inopportune moment you find yourself back to the life monument you last tied. Once I am back in Valorn I am drawn to where the people gather.

Sometimes the inn is a good place to visit but it is nothing like it used to be. The people that hang out there tend to be sophomoric at best with a brand of humor that is not just distasteful but also degrading. It has its good moments though. JKD has been hanging out there quite a bit lately. He has met many new adventurers and helped to keep the peace around there.

I have still been well involved with the search for clues to the mysteries of the Dark Grimoire. Some have said I am messing around in areas I should not go. Others have tried to be helpful and understand that my obsession with the mysteries is not for personal gain but for the betterment of Valorn. I spent some time at the wall today. I had to search it out. It has been said that the wall dates back to long before the golden age and is the oldest structure in Valorn. What did the wall separate?

It is well understood that the Valorn we know is nothing like it was in the days of the golden age. The wall was most likely a form of defense I imagine. Two neighboring kingdoms locked in battle. I though for a time that perhaps the desert was home to one kingdom and what is not a wasteland was home to another. This could be true but I would think there would be more proof of a former kingdom that existed in the desert area. Only the tomb and a hidden temple remain. The Black Wastelands are far too devastated and twisted to know if a kingdom was centered in that area at one time.

The North, the South and the East… Where were they? Who were they? what can we learn from the remnants of what was once a proud and powerful land?
