The goblins have seiged, if you can call it that. They were repelled in short order, and I'm back to work now that they're gone.

I write this in my final minutes. I am badly wounded, and I will not survive. It has been an honor serving, and I hope that this fortress flourishes, and the goblins are crushed. Goodbye.

I regret not writing anything in some time, but much has happened. The goblins seiged unsuccessfully, but Karnii was killed in the attack. Griffin survived, to an extent. His sanity was well and truly shattered, and he attacked me. This was no spar. He had intent to kill. It haunts me to this day, more than the ghosts swarming the fortress, but I had no choice. I ended the life of Griffin by my hand.

I have heard word amongst my fellows of a migrant wave coming soon, including a couple former members. Why the hell they'd ever want to come back here is beyond me. Frankly, I'd give my firstborn son to the Elves to get out of this hellhole and into the Mountainhomes.

The Hunters of Paradise: A group devoted to finding land safe from the demons. A large part of the alliance is made up of authority figures from various churches, though other professions are present as well.
The Hand of Asclepius: An alliance composed of doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and other healers. They were founded in the name of aiding all injured, and to try and mediate disputes between other alliances.
Brotherhood of the Snake: Composed of many different Dens, the Brotherhood is a band of thieves, highwaymen, thugs, and other criminals. Their Dens are among the best hidden of all hideouts, and they are bound on pain of death to never harm, extort, or steal from another member of this order.
The Daemonbound: A group dedicated towards the worship of and appeal to the demons. They do tend to leave them alone, in exchange for regular sacrifices. There isn't a large preference in their professions, and the mix is mostly equal.
The Guild of Tinkerers: A guild focused on the furthering of whatever technology can be found. They mostly employ engineers and scientists from many practical fields, and are on very good terms with the Order of Scavengers, due to several trades for scrap metal and machine parts.
Order of Scavengers: An order created specifically to try and find as much as possible that was left behind when people fled their homes due to the Apocalypse. They have no preference as far as profession goes, and will take in most people who are able to scavenge efficiently. They are on very good terms with the Guild of Tinkerers, due to several trades for weaponry and machinery.
