The Ritual of Elfblood
  What I learned from Artemise this eve chilled my very soul, for it is clear now what Helldancer's first ritual must be.  In order to appease his master, he must become the Kinslayer, and kill his own people for Balor's glory.  The Ritual of Elfblood is the first step in becoming closer to the demon master that he serves.  He is to find adn capture an elven maid, take her to a prepared area, perform the dark rites of the Demonslave, and then drink her blood.  The effects of this are unknown, but it is clear that it is a test for his namesake.  Helldancer Kinslayer as he is now calling himself must prove himself to Balor.  If we can stop this, it may be enough for Helldancer to fall out of favor with the Demon Lord.
   It is unknown as to when this ritual is to occur, so it is important we all stay watchful for the signs.  Helldancer cannot enter any lands friendly to elves because of his stigmatic last name and demonic features.  He will avoid them at all costs, so we have safe grounds to travel.  But there are still many regions in the realm that will harbor the forces of evil...or at least turn a blind eye on the atrocities for the right price.  Look for him there, in the places where good and evil have little distinction.
   There is one advantage also that we have, and that is that Helldancer will be easier to locate than our other nemesis Clawheart, who commands the Chaos Lord's power of stealth.  Helldancer is a Blademaster, and is therefore not capable of skillful evasion.  Indeed, the Demonslave is too proud to truly hide from us, so this pride maybe another weapon we have against him.

   The ritual is known, and our goal is clear.  I will report all that I know to you all on this matter, as I hope will the rest of you.  Helldancer must be stopped, and we can call upon the aid of our allies to do so.  I for one will keep watch for any signs of the Kinslayer and his band.  Luck to us all.
