I spent the last couple of days mostly helping where I could with the efforts at the inn but I am well aware of the need for training to resume. Soon I will be able to take up my charge again and try to get another level under my belt. Mostly I have sat pondering theories of the hole and why it is there. I do not believe it is the early signs of the land turning to what N’rolav is but then I have not felt that N’rolav is a glimpse of our future for some time now.

To expand on that I feel N’rolav is more of an alternate universe, a mirror of our world, twisted by the evil that resides there. If it were a future world I do not believe we would be able to travel back and forth so freely. Perhaps I am wrong, I try to keep an open mind about it but I simply think that the future theory is hard to prove.

From what I understand is known of Valorn, it was a thriving land with many kingdoms and a healthy economy. At some point the kingdoms had wars with one another dividing the people of the land and destroying the unity that was prevalent in those times. The fall of the Golden Age was about 2000 years ago. The Dark Grimoire that Balthazar opened was what released the evil of the demons and such on this land. That only happened about 200 years ago.

If N’rolav is a future glimpse of Valorn and the Hole in the Inn was the start of the formation of N’rolav, well, that would contradict what we know to be true about our past… the future never contradicts the past.

The clues are obvious to me. Our only hope is to gain better knowledge of our past and of the Golden Age so we can gain power to overcome Balthazar and close the Dark Grimoire once and for all, closing the link to N’rolav and freeing Valorn.
