Description

I found this journal buried in the sand.

Kiro tried to toss it in the fire.

"Our wagon has no space for a diary, Meerah. What practical use does it have?"

Don't tell him I said so, but I think it's fascinating! Can you imagine what kinds of secrets it holds?

Quite a few pages are missing, but I bet you can recover them out on the dunes!

If you are missing one, make sure to check all the indicated locations, not just the one currently showing on your map/mini-map. I ran around for far too long trying to find the one indicated on the map, and the one I was missing was actually the Northern-most one.
