My work seems to be moving along finally. The pile of books to organize is about half as high as when I begun this work and that is a reassuring thought. Still, difficult topics still await me, and there are times I don't think it will ever be finished. But, as in all things, only patience and dedication will prevail. And now, I can look back upon the things realized, to give courage for the path ahead. Some remarkable things about Valorn and it's inhabitants have been carefully documented and studied, and I'm pleased with the result that now stands in the Guild Library. I must admit that the work about the Evil One himself truly drained me. Though most people know some of his ruses and methods, it's however a bone-shivering task to put these things to paper, and even to think of his past vile crimes, and the times I've stood eye to eye with him, makes one feel sick. Especially the task to seek after the origin of his evil, or the source of his power. One of the greatest mysteries: his power over demons. Is he one of them? No, I do not believe so, though he definately absorbed some of their traits. How does he command them then? Why would a demon listen to one who (once) was a mere human. Of course there's a theory, a theory as old as the once bright walls of Kimald. But is there a way to be sure? Not likely. All this research, and despite the theory, there seems to be nothing certain in these matters. At least every source is organised now, maybe others can draw their own conclusions from it.
As for the future, more tomes to organise. Things have been recorded in history, mostly victories, or at least fond memories. After that, still, ... The few bits of golden age knowledge needs to be organised tome by tome, and then the work will be done. I look forward to that day.
