a crumbling journal

A mess of papers loosely bound with a moldy leather string.

The moldy pages are barely legible, and crumble at any rough handling of the pages.  The cover is completely rotten, but on some of the pages the text can be made out.

The invading force hosting the Darkside banner above their din, laid siege to the mighty city of Thalos for 34 long days and 34 long nights before the great mage Malkor called to his gods and begged for protection.  In his desperation, the old man accidentally entwined the dark words of a spell he had not realized he memorized years ago during his travels through the world. The dark goddess Lilith heard the music of her summoning spell, and fell upon Thalos.

The lamias and evil creatures ran amok through the glorious gem of a city, Thalos and devoured the citizens and invaders alike.  The great god Alighieri took pity on his devoted servant Malkor and heeded his call to protect the city, or at least what was left.  He raised a magical barrier in between the city and desert, to confine the evil creatures running rampant within, so the citizens could return when the lamias finally starved to death.  Alighieri enchanted the sundial on the garden path before the temple to allow the people of Thalos to re-enter the city after enough time has gone by.  He gave Malkor the instructions how to lead his people back into the city and his servant faithfully wrote it down on a large map.

look last

The great mage Malkor laid dying in the nomadic camp near the great pyramid.  It had only been 6 months since the people of Thalos had escaped the great city of Thalos and the only one that knew how to return to the city wasted away from the poisonous claw scratches of Lilith.  Malkor only got as far as drawing up the map tucked into this journal to show the location of the great city in the desert of Ejoren Tama, somewhere east of the great pyramid before he succumbed to his wounds.  Somewhere, out there in the great desert wasteland, is a sundial capable of producing the great gates of Thalos.  The map shows the way, to the sundial.
