\--==Official Submission==-- FROM: General Debinani Rahl RE: Recovering \-A report to the Society submitted by Haplo- Dear Brothers, In the Aftermath of General Rahls death, I do realize that it's difficult to find a focus or purpose. What I want you all to realize is that the ideals put down by General Rahl live on so long as you his brothers and men live on to carry his dream to fruition. That having been said, some progress has been made in the area of finding the Generals hidden journals, as well as some light on to other happenings as of late. After the funeral Alexander, Myself, and several other of the society sat around brainstorming places where the journals may have been hidden. I cited the fact that the confidant was probably made by the General in his first days here, because he was closest to people during those days because people were the only things keeping him on the Brink of sanity. With that in mind, I decided to seek out the grave of Victor and Cethwyn Reese. We also surmised that Cove could hold some clue or the actual journals, but me, only being one man, decided my time would best be spent between Britan and Yew. I'm now issuing standing orders for Cove, the Cove cemetary, and the site of the final battle of the Rose be searched thoroughly. I'll get to my findings in Britian and Yew shortly, let me move on to the plight of one of our brothers' Matt. It seems that Matt has been, possessed for lack of a better term, by some strange outside force. This force was the remaniants of a long lost culture that fought Kishara and failed. Aliz I believe was one of the ones that was in direct contact with Matt, and also one of the ones that shielded him from being possessed any further. However it's my belief that the shield may be killing him. He's not been well as of late. If anyone crosses any information on this ancient race or a way that they can think of to ease Matt's suffering, then by all means, contact him, or me. On to Britian, well, actually, let's start with Yew as it was the more uneventful of the two. Ceth's grave held nothing of importance. Just a corpse. However, Victors grave, while not yielding the journals, did yield something interesting. It seems that the General had several different attempts at the comm crystals that we know and love today. Victor had a comm crystal of sorts. This one however had four settings, and lets you see through the eyes of their target instead of just talking to them. Effective but dangerous as I was to find out. The first setting put me in the darkest, blackest pitt I could think of. A coldness set over me and it was all that I could do to escape from it's depths. The darkness could only be that of death. Two of the settings on the crystal led me to that place of darkness. One led me back to Tabenhelm's fall and I believe into the mind of Antryg. Incidentally, Antryg if you read this, please pigeon me because I wish to speak with you on a matter. If the other brothers in the society could also pass this message on I would appricate it. (OOC: ICQ me 19898313) And the final setting, Hmmm... well, it was interesting to say the least. I'll leave that one unmentioned for now, as I wish to reasearch it more. If any senior officers wish to know the results, please pigeon me. I'll report in person. The members of the society at the time of Victor that I was aware of were general Rahl, Ceth, and Victor. Now, it doesn't make sense for the crystal to have a redundant setting for the owner, so I'm assuming that one death was Ceth, who was the other? That brothers is the question, and I believe will lead to the location of the journals. We've got missing memeber, so let's comb the annals and see what we can come up with. Yours in service of the Rose, Haplo Lt. JG Keeper of the Annals
