Dolin Redbeard

This book has been hand written and is kept on Dolin's person at all times. I came to this place some time ago in search of knowlege, of deeper mechanical knowlege than is on the surface and it appears, I have found it. Unfortunately in the process I have lost all my companions as this seems to be a highly dangerous place.

The technology of this place, apparently left by the former occupants is incredible. Perhaps i could learn more of it's workings and make use of it for the few Kin I have found here. They are a noble group, clan Mithrilsoul they call themselves. I must seek the company of one sister Breena Watchever for this purpose.

One of my kin came to my aid recently and happened to have one of these 'animatron' parts which he sold me. I will keep this and spend time studying it's workings when I am not studying my books and runes.

Perhaps I could find some to come with me to find more of these pieces of mechanical technology, I have been among the old ruins and witnessed what seems to be huge lightning bolts caused by the 'static' of the place. However, to investigate this phenomena was not appropriate at the time, as the group I was with was intent on their goal at the time.

It appears knowlege of these 'animatrons' is held by a group called the 'spellguard', a group of mages whom I'm not too sure would accept me as part of their group, They appear to tread a far darker path than I and infiltrating their ranks is not something I would take lightly. My hopes lie with my kin in this place and the aid they can give me and I them.

I shall send word to the Faenor Breena as I cannot hope to achieve my aim (to come to their aide with this technology and my abilities) without making contact properly.

Much has happened since I last wrote here, I have joined the research programme within the Spellguard and although I have yet to join the Mithrilsouls of Dunedin Hall, I hope I have a good relationship with those of my kin there.

My role within the Spellguard is that of a herbalist - I am not sure this is my ideal area of expertise, however I hope through working with others, I can achieve the tasks set out for me. My first task is to find a way to create an Improved version of the current medicinal Herbs, which are available from local vendors such as the medicine lady in lower. I hope through slight variations in the recipie I can create the desired effect.

I have found some I hope can aid me in this task, one Stonewalker Lagmar, he has aided me in the past and perhaps through the sharing of information and skills I can further my place in the research programme in order to work more with the animatrons I have such a drive to work with.

My first observation is that these mechanical wonders seem to be controlled by voice command - something I must observe in greater detail before trying to do anything with.

I must write progress reports for the Spellguard at least every 10 days so will report here as I do to keep my thoughts in order.
