A Journal (by Leoric Gathenwale)

"For two generations now my family has been carrying the shameful burden of my grandfather's folly. From nobles to destitute, nothing my family has done to prove we are in no way like Lysander has been deemed good enough. If I could undo the wrong to the families of those who died, then maybe, just maybe things could change.

I have studied my grandfather's research on Khaldun. There was an entry which described how to call upon a Dark Guardian within the Tomb. That terrifying being apparently is jailor to the cursed souls that wander the mausoleum. It is said theat a specific word must be spoken in the centermost room within the Tomb. That word is hidden in the combined wall carvings which adorn the bloodied walls of Khaldun.

The hardest part was finding the cursed parchments required to make the etchings of the carvings. They are made by Skeletal Liches, none of which have been seen in decades. It is said that the etchings combined in a tome and plunged into the blood of the Damned will reveal the secret incantation.

I am concerned about this secret Room. Lysander's notes mentionend two levers controlling the door opening mechanism. But they are hidden in secret passages of the Tomb. I must find them!

I will unseal the tomb of Khal Ankur ronight. And I, Leoric Gathenwale, will free the cursed souls of Khaldund and grant my grandfather and his three companions the peace they have been denied so long."
