Due to a seemingly interminable sickness (not related to the plague) exacerbated by recent and extensive excursions into harsh environments, I find myself in too poor health to pursue a lead in Canal Ward. This is very unfortunate as I was quite looking forward to selfishly being the one of the first to explore the area. Perhaps this illness is my payment for such folly.

The place in question is behind a black door near the Clan Cave Worm tribe's cave. The door leads into dark, cold waters about fifty to a hundred feet deep. Take a left after you descend the stairs fully, swim past a sunken ship and you will see three metal grates. Behind the grates is a mystery which I was at one point very anxious to solve. Adelia Tyrell theorizes they may be yet more entrances into the Dunwarren machine. Whatever it is, be prepared for being submerged for minutes at a time in extremely cold temperatures, while being attacked by numerous aquatic creatures. You will need to open those metal bars somehow. I also strongly suggest figuring out a way to make travel safer and easier into and out of the shafts once they are open.

In return I ask only that you send Councilor Tyrell a report on your findings. It would make her very happy.

Best of luck, Jullias Webber

PS- Don't worry about me or my health; just find what's there!
