 My meeting with the [[Elder]]s was as trying as I suspected it would be. They vehemently disagreed with my plan. [[Nihlathak]] argued that there must be another way to stop [[Baal]]'s assault, but neither he nor the others could offer a real alternative. In time, five of the Elders came to see that my plan was the only way. Regrettably, [[Qual-Kehk]] remained unconvinced.

 My dearest [[Elora]]
-It's been ten long years since you were taken from {{iw|Anya Anya}} and me. In my mind's eye, I still see your beautiful face and remember the happier days of our time together. It comforts me to write and think that, somehow, you are reading this yourself. It may not be long before I join you in the afterlife.

It comforts me to write and think that, somehow, you are reading this yourself. It may not be long before I join you in the afterlife.
 Our people's time here in [[Harrogath]] is drawing to an end. Recently, our seer, [[Caldra]] has been afflicted with terrifying visions of our doom. Last night, the whole village awoke to her screams. When I reached Caldra's cottage, our daughter, Anya, was already there comforting her. During the night, the seer's raven hair had turned stark white . She was delirious when I entered the room, howling senselessly and tearing out her hair in bloody clumps.
-It took us some time to calm her -- but even then, she seemed only a shadow of her former self. She wouldn't respond to any of us directly, instead staring into some unseen world beyond our own. the healer, {{iw|Malah Malah}}, came but her attempts to cure Cladra were futile. Our tortured seer was not sick of body -- she had quite clearly gone mad.

-This morning as the dawn came the other Elders and I held a vigil over [[Caldra]]'s comatose form, praying to the {{iw|Ancients Ancients}} for guidance. Then, just as suddenly as it begun her madness broke or so it seemed. She sat straight up in bed , thin strands of her once beautiful hair draping over her nightgown - her eyes seemed to glow with a feverish inner Light. By the Ancients, she looked older than any Elder there.

By the Ancients, she looked older than any Elder there.
 She gazed slowly around the room, looking at each of us in turn. With a slight, almost mocking smirk, she whispered in a ragged voice: "[[Baal]] comes . . . and destruction follows him like a storm." She then sank back into the bed and with a shudder, breathed her last. By the gods, [[Elora]], as long as I draw breath, I will never forget her terrible portent.

 If [[Caldra]]'s prophetic words were not enough to move [[Qual-Kehk]] and his men to take up arms, then the black clouds of smoke rising in the south surely proved to be! We surmised that a great army was marching towards us. Led by none other than [[Baal]] the [[Lord of Destruction]]. Our worst fears were confirmed when we lost all contact with our capital, [[Sescheron]].
-I fear the worst, but I put my faith in Qual-Kehk. He's always defended us against those who would attempt to assault sacred [[Mount arreat|Mt. Arreat]]. It's likely that Sescheron was taken by surprise -- may the [[Ancients]] watch over them -- but we, the sons of [[Harrogath]], remain vigilant. The ancient barricades and watchtowers built for this day stand ready as they always have.

 The old prophecies speak of a dark day when destruction will wash over us like a torrent of blood and fire, leaving nothing but the ashes of our people in its wake. As I look south towards the darkening skies, I know that day of doom was finally come.
