[. . . ] The people sailed across the seas, proud before the power of storms. Their sails and ribbons snapped gold and vermilion in the rose tint of a thousand twilights. Their burnished keels streamed silver water as they lifted clear of the sea, and rode the currents of the air above. The people laughed and cried, told stories and chanted psalms, and built themselves a paradise on earth, full of majesties subtle and gross. [. . . ] I think, after five hundred years of trying to get her attention, she has finally noticed my interest. There is another benefit to eternity, I suppose; eventually, you may be the last suitor left standing. Asmolum's Dispatch Pieces of this message were recovered from the corpses of various powerful undead. My Lord Anadil, esteemed peers, and captains of the alliance, I send you greetings and news. After much research and observation, my agents and I have discerned much truth about the Yalaini method of storing the shattered array. I will caution my colleagues, however, that there remain large and potentially dangerous gaps in our knowledge. As we knew before, the crystal array used by the Yalain Council shattered into its six component pieces when the Servant was contained. Each piece was, in some sense, under the control of the Servant. For this reason, each attempted to dig itself into the ground upon coming to rest. Doubtless this was an attempt to evade the detection of his captors. One of these pieces was thrown as far as Aerlinthe, and the Lady Aerfalle observed soldiers of Yalain recover and send it oversea. We believe this was the core piece that was found sealed in the Nexus facility, where the component pieces of the array were grown in the first place. I regret to say, however, that my agents sent to search these locations for possible methods of entry have not found any. They have encountered large numbers of the Spawn, which forces me to conclude that the Enemy is also aware of the Yalaini facilities. It is perilous to think, but they may indeed have gained access to one or more already. I would also note that with this discovery, we still have no information on one of the Soul Stones. My agents continue to scour the islands with methods both magical and mean. I have left instructions that finding this last Stone should be our dearest enjoinder. Daily Report A translated missive, taken from the hands of an undead at the Shendolain Facility. Anadil, I demand you send me additional forces!That fool Ghere never respected me, and left me with a bare garrison, a mix of forces from Chalicmere and Aerlinthe. I have no knowledge of what is going on in the world above - Ghere also never chose to share Asmolum's reports with me. Is it true that the night sky has altered as it did during the Great War?Considering how he and his portion of our force recently met their end, I have to assume that the forces of the Enemy are gathering against me even now! [. . . ] It was an uncomfortable seat, but he deserved no more. Elysa scraped her own chair up next to him. It was rough-hewn wood in the Aluvian style. She unfolded the homespun quilt hung over its back and wrapped it around her shoulders. [. . . ]
