'''Please note that the numbering of years doesn't seem to match with [[Deckard Cain's Journal]], where he describes the past year's event with a demonic onslaught arriving in Montath of 1266, while Elder Aust clearly states Montath of 1266.'''
==3rd day of Montaht, Lauds==
My dearest [[Elora]]
Excerpt from the Journal of [[Elder]] [[Aust]] of [[Harrogath]]
==4th day of Montaht, Sext==
This morning as the dawn came the other Elders and I held a vigil over [[Caldra]]'s comatose form, praying to the [[Ancient]]s 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.
==5th day of Montaht, Vespers==
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 arreatArreat|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.
