Monday April 7, The Dwarven lands
Sinac has been defeated. Gwyon of the Countless Slain, a hero among the Berserks delivered the killing blow. He brought me a strange object, a not quite round stone about the size of a Rune Stone, apparently the source of Sinac’s power. After a few minutes of inspection I gasped in surprise.
It is one of the legendary Stones of Wyrd, the full power of which is known only to the highest of the Avatara. Unlike a Rune Stone, these artifacts will give far greater power then the simple mastery of a single Dream. It is believed that the Ibis Crown, Royal Crown of the Cath Bruig which was lost after the fall of Llancarfan, contained a Stone of Wyrd.
I believe that with the aid of its power, we may be able to help the Dwarves, besieged in their ancient strongholds of Myrgard and Stoneheim. I lead a company of two hundred picked men to the lands of the Dwarves now, making a forced march in order to have a hope of rescueing them.
Even so, I fear we may be too late, as no news of the Dwarves has reached us for months.
We are but a few hours from Myrgard now and will resume marching within the hour.
