Message: <blockquote data-quote="Carlo-One" data-source="post: 8428813" data-attributes="member: 7015827">Interlude from "C"It is with mixed feelings that I resume my study and commentary of these chronicles, after nigh on six months occupied with other pressing duties. The transfer of our monastery to another site in Archendale disrupted many things, yet was necessary in order to preserve both our collected knowledge and lives. I must admit to feeling both anticipation and regret at having to move - the novelty of such a challenge was mingled with regret at giving up old comforts, and of course much back-breaking labor was involved. In the end I and my fellow Kelemvorites of course accepted the necessity without reservation, as we one day will accept our final Judgment in the Crystal Spire.Naturally I have had additional time to reflect on the events described herein. The comments of my senior novitiate predecessor "R" were helpful in illuminating the significance of the adventurers' discovery of the ancient tower complex, which was tied in some fashion to the original Night King's conquest of Westgate, nearly 1,500 years prior. In both times, there was a supply of fresh victims to the place - a fact which is disturbing beyond the obvious tragedy of the poor souls trapped there. What could still be living in this place? Un-living, of course, it would be more accurate to say. Certainly the evil there is old and powerful, as the unfortunate duo of the Paladin Aronson and Monk Tougal discovered twenty years prior.There are not many pages left in this third volume that I now resume reading, which implies...I am not sure what. My predecessor "R" read to the end of the chronicles before scribing his sometimes acerbic commentary, while I have chosen to record my thoughts as events occur, without foreknowledge - as most of us must do in life. I shall therefore preserve my sense of wonder as we continue, although I must admit it comes with a sense of dread.</blockquote>
