"This is a Note, written by Gorek Gerden, of the Arbek Admun party. We are on our way at last, we picked up the trail of the Jaden Flatrun party. They headed north and east, apparantly to either the castle Stonekeep or the village of Arc. It's hard to believe a powerful artifact lays hidden there, but if Jaden says it's there, it's there. We shall have power and wealth beyond our dreams! Admittedly we've heard some unsettling stories, but that's probably just big ones' talk. True dwarves don't fear stories!
But we also met an Uth Tagoth, named Debben. Maybe we should've been nicer, after all, aren't we all dwarves together. But she dabbled in magick, a most unseemly thing for dwarves to dabble with. I'm leaving this note here, we'll be in Howandaland soon."
"Day 17. We are still digging at this site. Some peasants warned us not to, again, and I'm wondering if they might not be right. The area seems eerily quiet and devoid of wildlife. Scholars say we live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it is not meant that we should voyage far. And, I think, the sciences, each strain in their own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. Or, maybe, I'm just getting paranoid!"
"This is a note from Gorek Gerden. I've asked the tribal elder to pass this note on to any dwarves that follow. These folk are simple and friendly, you may rest safe here. We are the Arbek Admun party, heading North East, on the trail of the Jaden Flatrun party. These folk are generous and trade fairly."
