"HARK YE SEEKERS OF THE LUMINOUS SANCTUARY AND LEND THINE EYES TO THE ANCIENT TEXT UPON THIS LECTERN. IN DAYS OF YORE WHEN SHADOWS DANCED UPON THE EARTH A RADIANT FORCE BEGOT A TALE OF UNDYING LIGHT. THIS TOME BEARS WITNESS TO THE WHISPERS OF THE RADIANT SPIRITS THEIR MURMURS ECHOING THROUGH THE CORRIDORS OF THIS SACRED ABODE. MAY THE GLOW GUIDE THEE THROUGH THE SHADOWS AND MAY THY HEART RESONATE WITH THE HARMONIES OF THE ANCIENT LIGHT."

[DAY 11]

Found a book in some ruins today. I'm not used to reading the common language yet, so it took me a while to translate it. Thankfully it wasn't a warning, because I didn't wait before I checked all the other rooms.

Two traps, I walked right into both of them. The first was tripwire-triggered, the second pressure-sensitive. The valuables were worth it, I think. Some flying blue soul-creatures were trapped in one of the rooms. I tried to feed them once they were freed but they only hold what I offered, don't eat it, but they follow me around as if they did. I've named them accordingly. I'll ask what they are when I'm next within range. Caught a bird as well. It sings pretty.

I think this place used to be a shrine or other place of worship. There's a library, two storage rooms, and the other rooms were destroyed or ransacked. There was only the one readable book left, the others were waiting to be written in or books of enchantment. I think I'll make my first outpost here and gather myself for the coming travel.

I like this place. The sky is too big and too bright and the caves here are too lonely. This is a good start.
