The Journal of Brother Aldwin Last Keeper of the Shrine to The Four
The goblins grow bolder by the day. They have taken the outer chambers and I can hear them defiling the sacred spaces with their crude rituals. I have sealed myself within the inner sanctum, but I know my time grows short.
I write this in hope that future generations will understand the warnings I could not heed in time.
Gorrmoth’s Tower - That ancient spire to the north west has begun to stir again. For decades it stood silent, a monument to forgotten evil, but now strange lights dance within its windows at night. The local miners speak of whispers carried on the wind and shadows that move without light to cast them. I fear something dark stirs within its depths, something that seeks to return to this world.
The Kord Family - Young Jason Kord and his wife Emma have been bringing their daughter to the shrine these past months. The poor child suffers from a condition beyond my understanding The family works a modest mine to the north and are good, humble folk seeking only to help their daughter live a normal life.
I have tried what healing prayers I know, but this is beyond my abilities. They speak of seeking help elsewhere, perhaps from the new shrine in town. If anyone finds this journal, please - check on the Kord family. They need guidance and protection more than they know.
May The Four watch over us all in these dark times.
- Brother Aldwin
P.S. I have hidden what sacred items I could behind Xaverine the Light’s altar. May they serve the light when darkness comes.
