Description

<A well-made, if well-worn, journal catches your eye.

Thumbing through the pages, it is clear that this journal once belonged to someone prominent from this group of night fae. The last few pages are torn out of the book.

Perhaps if the rest of the pages were located then Partik could help decipher what happened here.>
