Theo Spencer,

    15h Day, Season of Death,

    873rd Year of Balkor’s Betrayal

    Some people might have trouble finding motivation when they know the end of the world is coming. But I’ve never had that problem. I grew up in a world we knew was ending. I found meaning, even if it was a bit nefarious, and pushed on to have a decent life. Yeah, I get that a lot of people misunderstand what I did on Earth before I was taken to Iaredin. Instead of correcting them, I just let them make the same statements. And yes, I understand that not being the one to pull the trigger doesn’t absolve me of sins. But whatever. You had to be there to understand.

    I write this in the last days of Broken Tusk on Iaredin. I’m looking forward to the task of tipping the vote of the gods to bring my new home to the heavens. Perhaps that involves me assassinating Death, or removing him from power, but these things need to be done. Why is a piece of land so important to me? Well, I just mentioned people having a hard time finding meaning in the end. Hanging onto something tangible is the way to do it. If that’s a chunk of land, a group of people, or whatever, you just need to hold on like your life depends on it because it very well might.

    There was an exception to this exodus, though. Uz’Xulven got to keep her realm. Mostly because she had specialized it to such a degree it latched onto Tero’gal. Lucky her.

    Speaking of cores, most of the people in the alliance now have a Tero’gal themed core. I don’t think Tero’gal knows what it wants to do. It has themes of subtlety, shadow, and willpower but that place is still figuring itself out. I’m sure it’ll make more sense eventually.

    We’re close to helping the space elves. Very close. The change with the system didn’t help us out, but I think we have the solution. Once these reforge potions get done brewing, we’re in business.

    The last thing that happened was the arrival of the guy who is supposed to help me. A man named Elrin showed up, claiming he was the guardian of the shards before everything went wild. I can’t tell if he’s on the level, but it doesn’t seem to matter. This guy is strong. He almost beat Tresk when she was using her Dreamer powers. Fenian used those same powers to beat back the dimensional being, so I can only guess how much power they’re granted.

    As long as we keep at it, I know everything will work out. We’ve come too far to falter now. It does make me wonder how you’re reading this... Do you live on Tero’gal? Have you pilfered the contents of my personal room. If so, please make sure Tresk doesn’t eat all my good cheese. I need it for alchemy.

    Thank you.
