I have been mulling over some of the information gleaned last time I was in Freeport. I said that my �research� had thrown up a few more questions than it answered. Somehow Stanos�s daughter is embroiled in all this. The very man she has thrown her love to, is the one that her father is trying to redeem himself in front of. An �interesting� man that goes by the name of Hans who heads a group known as the circle of the unseen hands. I rather feel that throwing herself at this man�s feet has warped Renux�s sense of judgement somewhat. Things that I have heard about her recently mark her as very different from the little girl I knew of many years ago � but then I guess we have all changed over time. I feel I need to be on my guard, as she seems from all accounts that I have, somewhat unpredictable.

Gnomes! Nothing is ever simple with them be it the mechanics of their latest invention or the conversations from their lips! While Yendar Starphyre is certainly the most learned in ancient languages, not even he can translate the codes of this text completely. In order to complete this translation I need to acquire a tome known as the book of souls from under the nose of one of Innoruuk�s key minions, the Maestro of Rancore. This is why you find me here � on the moon. Yes, I succumbed to transportation of a magical nature. I will meet friends here soon lead by the cleric known as Llewelyn and my friends from the Silverfrost clan. Together we shall venture to the planes of hate and I shall find what I seek.
