Today we set sail for what may be but a legend. The land of Aeternum, spoken about in whispers, has long fascinated me. The crew knows what they're getting into with this expedition, and that is that we may never find the island at all. We have enough provisions to last us several months at sea which will allow our search to go unfettered. Skies are clear today, and morale is good."

"We explored some of the caves, but the chill we had felt in the Costa de los Ahogados was thick there, and we feared encountering the same spirits… or more ancient spirits of those who came before us. Captain Isabella got quite angry at this, even calling us weak, but finally relented after a brief word with the Heretic, who seemed to indicate what she sought must lie North of here, and that at least now we knew. I do not know what they seek, but I fear it will drive the Captain to do something rash.

I asked about the crates of cargo – they might contain valuables, or even some clues to elsewhere on the isle. Captain Isabella said we would return for it when we had more of the crew, but the cargo was not of importance now.

I have informed Lady Isabella of the news. The loss of her brothers at sea the year before was hard enough for her to bear, but the passing of her mother and father has dealt a terrible blow to her spirit. I have not yet informed her of the debts in her father's name, as I am still going through the accounts. To lose what remains of her family and the fortunes within a year… it is a tragedy.

The debts seem given over heavily to one of the new companies, that of the “Red Sign”. I am unfamiliar with it, but both her father and brothers seemed to have paid quite an expense on their joint enterprise and exploration of the islands around the New World… it is rather confusing in parts, but I am parsing the information piece by piece.

Despite the loss, she has remained strong. Each morning, she goes to the church on the grounds and prays. I have asked the local priest to visit her, and bestow what support he can.

Found on the Road into First Light

Albert,

I won't be returning to the settlement, and I suspect everyone will be relieved… my own mother most of all. But you know that in the decades since we arrived on these accursed shores, my burden has been by far the worse to hers.

It's damned unnatural for a child to watch a parent remain young as they grow old. Why I'm one of the handful here cursed to continue aging, I will never comprehend. I tried to accept mother's youth, but after she became Constable, it was impossible. Watching her take command with such vigor has only hastened my decay. Even today, I listened as she and Artificer Kim made plans for some bright future. They don't realize how stupid they sound.

Whether we grow old here or not, whether we suffer or thrive, none of us will get the peace of eternal slumber. And without the promise of death, I simply do not see the point in pretending that we are living.

I thank you for your friendship, Albert, but I must now turn my back on First Light and embrace the darkness… whatever that may bring.

How she managed it I do not know, but Isabella is to command the Expedition. I have no idea how she negotiated such a result, or where she received the gold to back the three ships of the expedition… I suspect she concluded the contract with the Red Sign, and the company now moves with a faith in the presence of azoth that matches Isabella's.

The three vessels of the Expedition – the Santiago, the Santa María de la Consolación, and the San Cristóbal, are to set sail in a matter of months, yet there is still the question of where these vessels are bound. Do they intend to scour all of the Atlantic? And what had she offered them, when she has no gold to her name, nor any lands to speak of – or any influence at all?

"As if the shipwrecks were not enough, the caves at the beacon are further proof we were not the first to set foot on the isle. The other ships we saw upon the shore… it looks as if they sought out this “lighthouse” as we did, and stored some of their cargo here. We have found various ancient arms and armor – some unrecognizable, but others were clearly Roman swords and helmets – while another man came across what seemed a Viking shield at the base of one of the caves. Perhaps the statues and the lighthouse were made by these other crews.

I fear, however, all the remains we found are just that: remains. And that these men were cast upon these shores as we were and never escaped.

Shall we also rest our helmets and spears here? Will that be all that will remain of our failed expedition?

Fisherman’s Wisdom

“Tis better to be Lost on land than Withered at sea.”

I heard a local fisherman say this today. His fellows nodded in agreement. I believe this is a reference to the ghost ship that blessed few have seen. I have spent hours scanning the far horizon but have never caught so much as a glimpse.

When I tried to question the fisherman, he simply muttered: “Our lives are here now. Nothing else is real.” A surprisingly profound observation, to be sure. I wonder who this fisherman was in the Old World.

Tavares’ Mad Plan

My desperate pleas fall on deaf ears.

Captain Tavares will not be swayed from his mad plan. I insisted that no ship can resist the ravages of the Maelstrom. No amount of armor will protect the hull. No cunning configuration of sails will weather this storm. This is sheer folly!

But I owe the Captain my life. I am compelled by honor to obey his command.

I fear we are damned. I can only pray that the Vendetta will serve as a warning to others.

May God have mercy on our souls!

Day 1 - I have made it, and although this scratch of charcoal is a poor pen and I had to wait for these books to dry to make use of them, I am grateful to God for both. When I was swept from the deck of the Santa María, I thought it was the end… but in the morning, I found myself woken by the tide, and I was safe upon a strange shore!

I have escaped the whip and curse of Captain Isabella and her filthy, nonsense-spouting dog of a prisoner. That foul excuse of a man led us to our doom, yet I have awoken in a paradise! Beautiful land as far as the eye can see and what I can take for structures upon the isle, although I know not the markings.

May Captain Isabella have drowned beneath the waves with her filthy prisoner. Though, I hope the rest of the crew made it to shore as I did.

"We are so close now... I do not feel the cold. The Heretic has asked me what slows my pace, and I told him that... and it has been so long... I wish I could merely stop a moment. Stop and pray that this path was the right one.

Prayer is strange to me. It brings memories. Of a simple stone chapel... across the grounds, in the shelter of trees. In a place that was once home.

The Heretic seems to share the memory, for he smiles. The Heretic... that is not truly his name, though... surely, once a priest, but he has spoken truth. Only a little further, he says, come, Isabella. But I do not hear his voice."

A Seafarer’s Myth

"I have heard a few coastal fisherfolk refer to something they call the “Mother of the Deep.” Aeternum, like other lands of this world, has its own unique folklore. Such tales are common, especially among seafaring people. But here, it is no easy feat to separate myth from reality.

This entity is also sometimes known as Lady Fathom. Like Poseidon, Lir, or Njord of the Old World, her realm is the sea, and she is offered gifts in exchange for pleasant weather and bountiful fishing. It is said she is benevolent and protects those who call upon her.

I wonder if such an entity could truly exist. I suppose there is no reason to doubt it. Not here, anyway. But thus far, I have discovered no reason to believe such stories either. It remains a mystery.

Chapter: The King in Emerald

Every day, there is more news from the north, none of it hopeful, none of it promising victory. The Corrupted are massing in greater numbers, and where once a few groups might be seen once a year, now they swarm from the Cleave almost every season. Two days ago, there were rumors that the Great Bridge has fallen.

We cannot fight these beasts if we do not understand them - and I believe the secret to stopping this foul tide is in curing the red sickness that afflicts them.

-M. Havelock, Archminister

Chronicle of the Merchand Company

Location: On a wooden crate

Found on Rabbit Island

On the second floor, on the boxes

The isle is beautiful - the sight of the destination did much to quell my family's doubts on the wisdom of our relocation. I did not mention the cages that would soon be shipped to the isle, nor my equipment. I imagine the cages were doing the settlement little good - even criminals are being enlisted for the conflict in the North, if rumors are to be believed.

I did not mention to Genevieve and my thoughts on the Corrupted, nor on who I believe to be their cousins: The Withered. We shall see if there is a link, and if so, test it!

-M. Havelock, Archminister

On the wooden ladder.

On top of the mountain. Only accessible by using either the Rapier Fleche skill, or the Great Axe Charge skill to jump across the large gap on the side of the mountain.

NB: The Great Axe Charge kill was nerfed so it no longer works but, this can still be obtained with Fire Staff burn out plus heat it up ability.

"Come one, come all!

It is the time of the Celestial Binding. The Winter Convergence is here!

Tonight begins the great Gleamite hunt.

Track the glowing stones as they fall from the heavens.

Decorate everything with their cheer.

Prizes to the most Gleamite stones found!"

-Transcribed by Lore Master Meaugana

From a journal of holiday observations

"It's that time. I tend to know it before just before the graying skies and snowfall. Old war wounds ache just a little more.

Many folk are already setting up their decorations, dashes of color in the winter gloom. I'll be joining them. The way the stories go, we do this to appease the Winter Wanderer, keep him in his jolly aspect. We avoid the punishment of the second aspect. Is all that true? I don't rightly know. I do know that to get through a hard winter, we need to make warmth and cheer. Why not drink? Why no dance? Why no set up festive decor?"

-Transcribed by Lore Master Meaugana

Pages from a book of fables

"It is time to make merry. Best not to terry! Roh-de-lay-ho-ho-ho!

When the crisped air makes ghosts of your breath and the trees all dream in death, look for the signs of the Wanderer.

When the starts burn brighter, when bleeding colors paint the sky in awe, when the Gleamite stars fall, look to Winter's Father.

When the Frigid Folk chuckle and the Ice Trolls cackle, huddle closer to the flames and the crackle, and look for the Frost Lord.

O, darling. O, deario. It is time to make merry. Best not to terry! Roh-de-lay-ho-ho-ho!"

-Transcribed by Lore Master Meaugana

Pages from a book of fables

"Sing a carol, now, to the Winter Wanderer.

When the days shrivel to nothing, and you fathom the bottom of your bowl, and you enter the long night of the soul, the Wanderer comes forth! Know him by his Second Aspect. Call him Jotunir. Call him Lord Frost. Call him the Winter Warrior!

He comes cloaked in a patchwork coat stitched from all our nightmares. He comes with a prerogative of vengeance. The hearts of the selfish and vain are his food. Merrily, merrily he goes about his terrible business. He stalks the wild places, stands in shadows, and you may not even notice when he drinks your misty breath.

O, darling. O, deario! It's past time to make merry. Did you dare terry? It may already be too late. Roh-de-lay-ho-ho-ho!"

-Transcribed by Lore Master Meaugana

Pages from a book of fables

"Sing a carol, now, to the Winter Wanderer.

When the sky fills with celestial light and winder blankets the earth, the Wanderer comes forth! Know him by his First Aspect. Call him Yulnir. Call him Father Winter.

He comes with a benevolent twinkle in his eye. He comes wrapped in a cloak made from the multi-colored sky.

Every home he visits. Every hearth he blesses. On the coldest nights, he brings feast and bounty. He feeds body and soul with a warmth that lasts from season to season. The hearth of the heart!

But Father Winter only gifts those who have offered love and warmth to their fellows all year round.

O, darling. O, deario. It is time to make merry. Pray do not to terry! Roh-de-lay-ho-ho-ho!"
