Description[edit]

Lore[edit]

Journal of Tristan, King of Thieves

Day 1
Found an excellent vantage point from which to spy on the entrance to Britain. Makes our bandit raids that much easier.

Day 4
The raids go better than expected. At this rate, I'll be the most notorious thief in the history of Britannia in no time.

Day 6
Had to kill Julian today. He got a little too clever and greedy for his own good. Can't have him undermining my authority. Too bad, he was a talented cutpurse.

Day 10
Our purses are getting fat! I need to find a good hiding place for our loot. I think I'll do some exploring tomorrow.

Day 11
Found a perfect place! There is a cave hidden in the lake above the waterfall. Even better, the only way to get to that lake is through a long tunnel inhabited by wolves (I had to kill one myself just to get down there). Across the bridge is a path leading up into a snowy valley where the tunnel entrance can be found. I'll have to check and see if I can find any good landmarks.

Day 13
There's a farmhouse just below the bridge. The family there can see us too easily as we traverse across it. Time to go on a little raid to take care of that problem.

Trivia[edit]

  • A goblin by the name of Grom had also fallen prey to the Bandit Leader's men.
