My heart is heavy, so it is today that I begin to write my thoughts down. I know that to some of my kind, this practice would seem unimportant and human at best; but I hope that it will help to east my aching heart. I have never been so disgusted with a place then I am with this Nation of Tamos. For a time I thought that it would be enough to stop them from expanding their lands into my home and the homes of those I care for, and sink back into the horror of their civilization. I now know that I was wrong. Hatred for others seems to be a sickness of the mind to these people. Elves, Shifters, Tieflings, and even their own people are not safe from this insanity. It has come to my attention that slavery is alive and well in Tamos. If found free in Tamos, Tieflings are enslaved on sight due to nothing but their race. I am currently in the process of helping six Tieflings to freedom. I am not sure where this will lead, but I must help them.

Summerfall, 866AF, Tomesday
Last night, during my watch I became aware of something in the distance. Opal was the first to discover what moved in the forest beyond. It was a Treeant--a good creature of the forest. He told me about another tribe of Elves, The Hidden Children. They are another tribe of Elves in the surface world--another tribe that has been hidden in these forests for centuries. I must find them. Not a lot of people know this, but I long to find a deeper connection with another of my kin; like my mother had with my father. I've always been somewhat different from those of the Elendhrim--I wonder if there are elvenkind similar to me.. While speaking with the Treeant, he told us about a nearby tower that has been a bastion of hate for elvenkind; they hunt The Hidden Children and kill them relentlessly. THIS MUST BE STOPPED!! Tonight we raid the tower to see what lies within. They will die. All of them.
