From the journal of Nathaniel Stormwind:
Tales from the Void
Chapter 8 Of Chaos and Order
Ibruk is a FOOL! That thing "Nimemnokzam" was not, is not, and can not be protected by such means! You need magic words AND divine enchantments to guard a cursed artifact! Need to calm down, but Kane Jerrod tells me of what occurred on the surface and what Ibruk said...
Onthorn is recovering from the "ordeal" and she is staying close to me, and Elitan Glimerlight tells me Stronghammer wants to destroy Nimemnokzam. The fool Ibruk may be mad, but that is INSANE! Kizerbane is making blueprints of his old temple complex to Armok with some modifications for five lesser temple shrines to the other gods (Dwarven, Elven, Kobold, Human, and Goblin) and is making other plans that he has not told me. Forgar Stormspear is in agreement that Ibruk is not going to help rid this world of the shadow demons, is not to be trusted with anything, and should be avoided whenever possible, although we should remain cordial with him when necessary. I will, however, try to sway his less devout followers to my side, if possible. We need paladins, mages, and necromancers to fight the dark horde and save this world from damnation. I also need to talk to Mifava about what the hell happened and get her support in my fight against evil... I also need to get a cursed crundle, Lerdy's skull from the caves,
and speak with the spirit of Ura... Argh! So many things to do, and so little time!

I am tired of the conflict that my people are involved in; mostly what Imiwa is doing.
We must put all aside to fight the defilers, but she is still clinging to old belefs.
I think I need to commune with her and bring peace to the caves we live in.
She needs to know the truth and to stop fighting with her sister Fori.
"Honor the trees, and treat them with respect, for they are a gift from the gods.
But do not mourn the spirits, for we are not harmed by the destruction of trees."
{Elitan Glimerlight personality: Calm, collected and polite, speaks in a refined manner, but has a strong sense for justice. (she will not mention Nathaniel in her conversation with Imiwa)}

THINGS ARE INTERESTING THESE PAST MOONS AND I. DO. NOT. LIKE. WHAT. I. SEE. I SEE A PATHETIC LOT OF COWARDS, BACKSTABBERS, AND MORONIC LESSER-GOD-WORSHIPPING IDIOTS!!! BUT I SEE TWO "PEOPLE" THAT INTEREST ME, "SHEODIR REDSAGE" AND "JUGGERNAUT". I WILL APPROACH SHEODIR AND TEST HIM IN HIS KNOWLEDGE OF THE GREAT AND HOLY ARMOK! IF HE IS WORTHY, I WILL ASK HIM TO HELP MY APPRENTICE IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF MY NEW TEMPLE.
O GREAT ARMOK - BLOOD IS OUR PRAYER - OUR TEMPLE IS WAR!
{Kizerbane personality: Talks in a manner that is aggressive but almost desturbingly calm,
dedicated to Armok and Armok alone, is prideful, and has a strong sense of poetic justice}
1: Prepare an enchanted lead box to hold Nimemnokzam (Ibruk can not be trusted with its defence) and steal the stone, using his ghost companions and magic to erase the event from people's minds (or make it seem Stronghammer was successful in disposing of it, whichever is easier)
2: Store the cursed stone (in box) in hidden sanctum temporarily
3: Since Ibruk can not be trusted with anything, start gathering followers in secret to make an Order to fight the Nothing with
blade and magic
4: Start digging to an unused area (but still protected by the fort) and dig/build a hidden temple-fort (with farms and workshops) that is in 6 levels with 6 gate/shrines guarding it: (connected to my first hidden sanctum)
The gate/shrines in order are: (only the initiated can get past the gates and gates are warded against intruders)
-1: to the Dwarven god Id
-2: to the Elven Spirit of War
-3: to the Human god of War
-4: to the Kobold Ascended Assassins
-5: to the Goblin god of War
-6: the most impressive of the gate/shrines; a blood shrine of Armok
top floor or lvl 1: Main defensive compound/maze
(going down) lvl 2: farms and workshops
lvl 3: barracks and training grounds
lvl 4: Libraries, labs, and magic training (most wood in the labs and magic training area are made of Blood Thorns and Nether Caps)
lvl 5: Lesser temples to the gods (Dwarven, Elven, Kobold, Human, and Goblin)
lvl 6: Grand temple to Armok with prayer area, arena, and (under Armok's statue) Nimemnokzam's final resting place/observation chamber (need to ACTUALLY study the damned thing)(Armok's temple will have magma features)
5: Have apprentice continue his previous tasks and have him gather all (not in use) forgotten beast skulls
6: Set up a meeting with Mifava
7: Commune with the spirit of Ura
8: Collect cursed crundles for study and retrieve Lerdy's skull
9: Commune with the former necromancer of Nomekast
