THIS CHRONICLE IS RECORDED INTO THE ANNALS BY: Dalcia Grath-Malor – for the benefit of Feather and the gallants. and re-recorded in an archive in the secured reliquary of the Companion Library in Braddon Bog by Twitch, annalist of the Gallants and 2nd to Feather of the Gallants in castle Aqua Pluma.

Dalcia is about to go to the curio shoppe and rookery in Torrelson’s Ford but stops to watch hap after realizing the gallants are involved in a contest in town where Huff won the mine property. The celebration was unknown to her but she figures it’s something harmless. But now that the gallants are involved, she’s trying to gather more information. She sees Jesse there, she recognizes Jesse after he drops his disguise. Her familiar picks up on athena. She is obviously flustered and can’t seem to focus – she feels like something is watching her! Once she finds out, she sets her familiar to Huff and follows the conversations that send him out to the Delta. It feels like something is inhibiting her in getting in touch directly with the others. She sets her familiar to follow him in case he gets in trouble.

She goes to the stables to get the horses the Earl has set aside for her – 20 total if need be. She knows the Raiding Larks are on their way from Mev.

Participates in Killing Mendollin (see all its sub page chronicles).

After retrieving the orb from sleeping Na’grindl, she immediately makes her way via dimension door and any other means (including riding so hard she kills horses) to get to Diamonds Curios in Torrelson’s Ford – then contacts her order and tells them what she has.

The masters of security for House Malor immediately bring her to the Panopticon, opening the way for teleportation directly. She is truth tested as best as they can.

The crystals of memory will be used to store the orbs observations. At least five copies, one to some members of the order who will begin teleporting outside of Dunstrand and moving away. Everything is observed by the orb so it could be recounted later.

While there she performs a sleight of hand, steals an additional crystal and inscribes another crystal to take to Feather. House Malor sends a more permanent agent to Torrelson’s Ford for the next 4 months, then she can return. She is sent to travel for a month, just to keep her out of the way of other political players. She decides to head east, and get away into County Faer and some of her old friends assigned there. While in Nettlemist, at the chapter house there, she begins the search for Biyatch, using the resources of the order. She begins to question why the order is interested in such a crude lout. All she knows is he was there when the older Gallants were killed by the necromancer in the south that began the soul scourge.

first month of Search for Biyatch find nothing

Once Huff is out of the delta, it will return. She will find out about the greater basilisk in the delta through it.

second month of Search for Biyatch she finds nothing; Behind the Scenes… 2-10-9169 Dalcia and House Malor release the rookeries across all of Dunstrand.

She returns to the order and searches archive crystals. She finds a hint of something in one members notes. Apparently, from the “mind-images” that the order took (which she does not have direct access to), the barbarian must have seen something that the order thinks could be valuable. They are seeking him out to do a dESTRUCTIVE read from his mind! It will likely kill him to delve that deep for something at his periphery. Whatever he saw, must potentially be valuable. She adds the visions of the notes to the memory crystal copy from the orb. She plans to return to Torrelson’s Ford.

Someone or something is trying to stop her – the ‘Peace Seers of House Malor’ hire mercenaries to try and kill her. They are armed with Orrish make weapons to disguise the attempt. She is not permanently wounded from the poison, but it will take her a while to recover. She sends her familiar to Feather to see if she can recover there. She knows she must tell someone other than her order, as they seem both unsurprised and only tell her to ‘watch out’.

She arrives just in time to see Feather before she leaves. She gives her the memory crystal, which the Satchel of Mog seems to accept! She returns to Torrelsons Ford. She says she will inscribe all she can remember for the annals and secure them in Feather’s quarters (via the one way ‘mail drop’ each personal quarters has).
