Lore (IN PROGRESS)
It has come to our attention that there has been an alteration of the heavens, we are being banished into the infinite void that lies beyond the light of Ythenir. We have yet to receive a sign as to the cause of this change but it is quite apparent that we have not offered enough, or worse, items of dubious value. We will soon select a number of our brothers and sisters to voyage into the great abyss and anchor us back in the light. If your name is burned in the ceremonial brazier then you have been summoned for this task…
Voyage LogCycle 49
It has been so long since I have been able to rest and call upon our lord to give me guidance for this daunting journey, nonetheless, I shall continue on my way for I am one of a few lights in the dark for the Cenobium. I have sheltered in several lands, occasionally finding signs of life, never any real people though. The cosmos is actually quite beautiful, the stars are quite majestic and the way everything has it’s shadow cast is delightful, like a perfectly symmetrical line drawn at an angle. I see another mass approaching, it’s a lot bigger than the others. Maybe this is the place, maybe we can finally bring back the light…
I have passed many… so desolate.. No light… fear the same of…
Voyage LogCycle 53
It has been some time since I have been able to update the log, things seem to be going well, I made a small cabin in the strangely non-euclidean landscape, this entire plane is very strange I must say. The stars are extra bright, everything seems like it’s bending to some non existent point, and every time I look away and back it seems as if the land has changed. I have seen an above average amount of overall life in this area, plants seem to grow fast here, as a matter of fact, everything seems to be faster here. I have no clue how this is happening, this age must not have the aid of Ythenir to maintain themselves, quite tragic if I say so myself. I have offered much of my harvest and soul to the shrine I have erected but it seems I am outside the reach of Ythenir for the sky is still darkening, even more so than before I was in the presence of all these stars. I fear for the worst if I am not met with salvation.

The lights have nearly gone out, I have been forsaken by our lord. We seem to be moving now, I can see a pinhole of light in the distance. It’s very hard to stand, all the trees are shaking, the animals are running, the ground ripples like water, I..

NotebookEntry 1
I have met some of the locals and they seem very friendly, I was offered medical attention and some food. After a short recovery I set to building a home and trying to recall what happened. I have no idea, after the morning I landed in this unfamiliar plane it all goes hazy. All I am able to recall is a faint memory of a place far from here, there were others like me, I have to learn more. In the meantime while I figure out which “campers” (their terminology is so strange) to ask about that, I finished my house, mapped “Camp Endeavorance” (is what they are calling it) and did some note-taking on the laws of this world.

I decided to move my house from its previous location, I did not like the hills and the cityscape behind it was mildly annoying. I moved out to a secluded forest with the help of a fellow camper and built a larger house. It feels oddly familiar to home. I like it. I also acquired some of this world’s best equipment. I do not intend to use it because if I do, it will eventually fall into disrepair and that would not be good. As the weeks go by I am starting to remember small amounts of information, not very helpful, but it reassures me that it is not all lost forever and one day I may find myself again. I was sleeping a while ago and I recalled a strange metallic brazier with a purple flame. Maybe a clue to the past but only time can tell. I have a lead on somebody who may know something of what I assume to be my people, it’s name is The Unvibing Phantom, a spirit said to wander the wilds walking aimlessly. Travelers have occasionally spotted it spouting random information of things unknown to them. I do not know where it lives but the other campers say that every once and a while it is spotted traversing the cherry groves.
NotebookEntry 7
I have begun construction of a library, it will be a service for all to use, but I really want to build it because I will have a place to store all these writings and logs I create as I chronicle my journey to thrive in this world. Everything is still mostly a blur, though I have been able to pick out a few lines of speech such as “voyage to planes unknown” or something that requires more context like “banished to the infinite void.” All these things don’t mean much, pieces to the puzzle but the thing that really got me thinking was when I recalled talk of some kind of god requiring human sacrifice to survive, I have no recollection of any such happenings but who am I to say what did or did not happen, my brain is still scrambled. I hope to recall more in the coming days or weeks but for now, back to building.
NotebookEntry 11
The construction of the library is going well, the floors are now all finished and I have completed planning on how I will organize the library, history, mythology, and informative tomes. It is a bit broad, but I do not plan this building to be particularly large. Yesterday I finally set forth to find The Unvibing Phantom. It was not an easy search but I found it perched in a crevice of a cave’s wall, it is an ominous cloudy grey color and somehow let off a radiant deep blue glow despite not having the hue on its body. I crept up under it, the sound of a nearby waterfall covering my movement and I tried to listen in on what the Phantom was constantly muttering. The water was loud and the Phantom talked quiet so I was only able to hear about every 3 words, it kept repeating the same few phrases “Fish of the void, maw of shimmering rifts…” “Followers of the cosmos… solace in hidden plane… find Qethyn…” Shortly after intercepting that last message the Phantom noticed me and slinked into the darkness. Who is Qethyn? And how can they help me find the origin of these memories?
NotebookEntry 13
I need to find more information on who and where Quethyn is, but for the moment, I have to deal with sustaining myself, mining, hunting, traveling. That keeps me busy enough that I don’t have the time to expand or add any of my findings to the library. On another note, I have recently been repeatedly attacked by others who bear the same style of shawl as myself, but they do not bring peace, shame. I really hoped when I initially saw them that they would be able to bring me back or at least tell me what I have forgotten. When I eventually defeated them, one shouted “For Ghazarenth, there is no light darkness cannot engulf!” I have no idea who Ghazarenth is or what the other monk’s motivation for coming out here to attack me are, nonetheless, just more undocumented things to add to the quickly growing list of possibly important topics. I was able to go into the Industry District Library and found one book in the far corner of the aisles. Upon inspecting it I saw a cover with gilded accents and a bluish purple leather cover.Inside, many of the pages were damaged by some means or missing but of the few that remained I was able to read this “The Qethyn is the entity who has control over all passage between Ages, while rare to establish contact with it has been sparsely documented that if there is a strong enough attraction to a certain area, whether high concentration of good vibes or otherwise, it may possibly bless your settlement with a gate to a realm of choice.” This could mean a way to travel and find the origin of myself, but how would one accrue good vibes? I must read on this further…
