Blizzard, 21st of Hazen
Yesterday was eventful indeed. A wyrm attacked Newzendan and almost
destroyed the entire settlement. Gelidus Eden is no longer the safe,
beautiful haven it used to be. The entire world is freezing. Even the
great forests have died or frozen over. Food is running out. We have
already hunted most creatures to extinction. Our priests said the end
was near, but I didn't realize they meant it literally.
A well was found under a glacier, melting itself out, and it apparently
is from a different plane, another dimension. It was made out of a
material we had never seen, and was very complex. A priest found that
you could fit the idol of Incubus's eye in several compartments on the
edge of the well. They did this, the fools, and unleashed the
snake-like, black wyrms. Their pink eyes strike terror into the bravest
men. They level entire buildings with their terrible frost breath and
bite. But they weren't the worst part. There was one, a colossal Behemoth
which can just walk through a entire city and cause major damage. We
call it Gelidus Inferos. He only knows hatred and is quickly killing us
off. The Valkyries won't help us, and have left to their lands somewhere
in the Unknown.
The cold hasn't bode well either. We are being completely frozen and driven mad.
We are doomed. There's no point in fighting. We must accept our fate.
But our most knowledgeable have made bodies of stone that our best
warriors, scholars, kings and anyone else's important souls are to be
stored in. Their mind goes into a crystal and is put in their new stone
body's head. They are then sent deep down underground to a sanctuary
where they shall lie dormant until something can help. Probably nothing
will come, and for millions of years they will wait for nothing. Many
people can't take the wait for death, so end their lives before the Behemoth
does so itself.
Times are hard, but we will keep preparing for the end.
Soon, our sorrows will end.
Soon.
