This leaflet contains my experiences, thoughts, goals, and plans in the town of Sanctuary, deep somewhere in the vast danger of the Underdark.

I, Delydia Elauth'amindir, daughter of Celduin Elauth'amindir, shall record this knowledge should I not survive life down here and escape to the forests above.

Should anyone find this leaflet, I am likely left this plane and I would wish that it be taken to the surface and handed to my father, Celduin, Priest of Rillifane Rallithil, to the elven city of Suldanessellar in the forest of Tethyr.

It all began one day on a lovely stroll with my love through the forest, we had been discussing wedding plans as he had recently proposed marriage. We had a small argument over where it would be held, I wanted it to be had in the small grove where we first met, but he would have none of it! Due to pressure from his father he would only have it in his father’s home in the city. I walked away from him somewhat unhappy about the arrangements, downwards a small ravine. I continued down a ways coming across a cave I was warned to stay away from, dangerous things are said to have lurked there.

Ever foolish I was and curiosity getting the better of me I approached it and wandered in a few meters, seeing nothing but darkness I turned to leave when I heard a hoarse lizardlike whisper. I spun around and saw this very large lizardbeast grinning at me, in horror I screamed and turns to run but bumped into another lizardbeast that was behind me, and then suddenly darkness ensued.

I awaken later in a camp, many other slaves are there. It was humans mostly, a dwarf and a half-orc. Their faces were images of depression, sadness, anger. I was covered in only tattered rags and a good deal of bruises were over my body. A sound was heard in the darkness and many lizards started running from the camp to the sound which then appeared to be fighting. Moments later a female in blue and white leathers came up and told us to follow her to a boat.

She spoke of safety and freedom in Sanctuary, I was completely skeptical of course but still followed. We arrived at a campsite of gnomes to find the boat burning so we found another path to go long. I asked her name and she told me she was Alyana of the Order of Seekers. I felt I could trust her... oddly enough in this dangerous place, fearing the other slaves. She went back to cover our tracks but was ambushed by a fire beetle and impaled on its horns *she sighs* and suddenly I felt all alone in the world again.

The group went along its way, guided by various denizens of the Underdark until we finally reached Sanctuary, and safety.

*tear drops splattered on the pages*

I've commited a terrible sin! Oh how low I've gone since arriving in this foul loathsome pit of Lolth... It is a sin I can not bring myself to record even on these pages...

Rillifane forgive your misguided child! I let him talk me into donig this... I believed him when he said we had to, that there was no other choice. How foolish I was. There's always another way, always a chance to do good. I blindly followed Calor to do this foul deed...

Father would surely cast me out of his family if he'd seen me... my shame is too great. I must seek penance for this evil I assisted.

Ini, a mulhorandi track and ex-Thayan slave, seems to have lost his mind, he accuses me of mocking him and speaks of nightmares, the nature of them he would not say. He is confused by the fact he is free, can not accept the reality he can make his own choices and does not need a master.

He wishes me to help him sleep, even if to use magic. But I have no such powers... atleast not yet. In his sleep deprived state he seems angry, almost insane... I worry for him. He seems to believe I can make him sleep if I will it so, he's clearly losing his mind.

He made me swear to not judge or hate him if he would reveal a secret to me... he's confessed to murdering a gnomish woman. He was walking with her and she claimed to be able to help with her dreams, as they walked she continued speaking of how to help him, they set camp. His headaches began as they have for days. The gnome told him he is of a false people and his god is false. How foolish to say to a person alone in the Underdark... *she sighs*

He spoke of how he beat her to death with her own club in some detail, to which I could not bear to listen to, after she insistantly spoke of how Tyr would help him, after he began suffering the headaches he had in his sleep. A half-drow named Vas told him he is crazy and watched the murder from the shadows, delighting in the display.

He asked me to be his Mistress, but I declined for obvious reasons. He's mentioned a lake that have lizardmen, awful beasts, that he wishes to see. I told him that I will try to visit him if it'd make him feel better, though the diea of going to such a place makes myu skin crawl.

I swore I would not reveal his terrible secret... so I shall not, a terrible burden to bear.
