Journal Entry #1 November 30th, 2021

I found myself with a broken transdimensional teleportation displacer in Dimension #98365. I believe the locals call this place, Rathnir. More accurately, I was displaced on the soil of the country called Grandia. I walked around for several hours and found a large harbor city. Strangely enough, there were no inhabitants. I continued to search the area but found only more abandoned towns and cities. It was only when I reached the country of Yimmu-Audal, I was contacted by a man, going by the name, MickieBoj, did I finally established some actual contact with the locals. He invited me to his settlement in the city of Lithranor nearly thousands of miles away from where I was located. I was surprised my communication transceiver was able to pick up any chatter in this dimension at all. They must have advanced means of communication here. I have yet to see how their systems work, but I had no time to ponder as I was reaching the end of my food supply and needed shelter quickly. I built a makeshift boat and sailed to the coordinates given to me by MickieBoj. It took several days but I managed to arrive at Lithranor without any issue. I was then given some supplies and a place to settle. I quickly constructed myself a cabin with decent amenities and started to earn my keep here in Lithranor. Hopefully I can learn more about this world while I am here...

I settled nicely in my cabin and started a bit of a excavation in my basement in order to find myself a bit of resources. I didn't want to trouble my fellow Lithranors as I require a lot of resources to start experiments to understand the materials that are available in this dimension. Resources such as minerals appear to be hard to come by. I learned that diamonds and another material, netherite which is exclusive to a sub-dimension called The Nether, are very rare and very important minerals to acquire with the latter being the most difficult to acquire. Both are materials that are needed for effective armor and weapons. Although, it does make me wonder how the denizens of this dimension manage to make diamonds let alone netherite, rumored to be stronger than diamonds, malleable enough to form into weapons and armor in the first place. Further study is required... It would seem that the Lithranors are preparing for something as I soon saw a wall being constructed just next to my humble cabin. Honestly, it was ruining the rustic aesthetic I was going for, but I cannot really protest as this construction was ordered by the higher officials and must be for a good reason. I was then asked to help provide materials for said wall, and I was actually quite glad to provide the excess of cobblestone I had from my excavation. A win-win honestly. They get more materials and I clear up some space in my inventory for more important items.. I forget to mention how difficult it has been to acquire some minerals as I dug deep into the ground I found out that a lot of the area has already been mined. Claustrophobic tunnels stretch for miles and I can see patches of stone that have been long been emptied from their precious mineral stores. At best I can try and tear open the patches between tunnels, hoping some minerals were overlooked. Sure enough, there were some veins that were untouched, but it took me quite a while to find some. I even discovered some strange mineral known as 'redstone' which has some interesting properties. Apparently when grounded to dust and given an electrical charge, it can serve as a conduit for energy enabling it to power machinery, and when compressed into a dense block it can potentially function as a power source. Although, it appears that the dust can only allow energy to flow only up to a certain distance then the current weakens and fades. Further study is needed. In the meantime, helping with Lithranor's affairs seems more paramount as the nation seems to be in a crisis at the moment... Journal Entry #3 December 2nd, 2021

A fellow Lithranorian, TitusWrath, pointed me towards the direction of some interesting ruins far northeast from the city. I took no hesitation and grabbed whatever supplies I needed to make the journey. Along the way, I encountered some other interesting sights. First, a rest stop built by a very generous Kameroni, who has been long gone as the most of the facility is in disrepair and abandoned. There have been other visitors way before me who have utilized this location or least have passed by. Next, I came across an unfinished city, which was surprising made entirely of dirt and mud. It is fascinating what the denizens can do with their environment despite their conditions. Even more surprising was the fact that this supposed city was named Positivity Town, an oddly fitting name for a place like this. After some hours, a sign greeted me to my final destination: "Welcome to the Ruins of Avusjue." I immediately began a through investigation of the area. There were so many structures that were either unfinished or unfurnished nothing but empty homes and rooms. A ruined fortification stood atop a mountain overlooking the silent city with a single lit torch deceiving any passerby that this place was in any form of protection. I am curious of what was planned for this place and I would be every interested in interviewing anyone who may have any knowledge of this place...

Journal Entrry #4 December 5th, 2021

I have been overhearing conversations of future invasion plans from some of the more ambitious members of the city, which has me quite worried. After a lot of interactions and intelligence gathering, I realize that Lithranor is not a recognized state by the Grand Union of Solea-Audal, well while it was still together. With plans to attack a neighboring city named Alessandria, this may draw the attention of the surounding nations and may put Lithranor in a very dangerous position. At best, Lithranor could be absorbed into one of the greater powers and find itself in a more stable position. At worst, Lithranor may be wiped off the face of Rathnir. Personally, as much as I owe MickieBoj for giving me a place to stay and helping me get acquianted with the world of Rathnir, I cannot risk being involved in the worst case scenario should nations decide to descend upon Lithranor, possibly slaughtering the inhabitants. So, it is wth a heavy heart that bid Mickie and the rest of the citizens farewell. I believe I will travel southwest and hopefully find some other place not as precarious as Lithranor....

Journal Entry #5 December 12th, 2021

After many days of travel, encountering many ruins and cities, I finally found myself within the lands of Savernia. I explored the area til I was encountered by a local calling herself Lady Hazel of Ashbury, a noble of the Kingdom of Savernia. She guided me to the capital of Hearthport as we exchanged pleasantries and I proceeded to ask everything about their culture and customs. Apparently, the nation had just gained its independence from the much larger Uldaresh Empire and a new king, Logan Ashwood, was to be crown within the coming week. As much as I would have loved to attend the coronation, I had other priorities such as making myself comfortable at the capital, establishing a home and begin documenting what I have experienced so far. I then had begun exploring the Savernian territory further, getting acquianted with some of the other citizens and provinces under the Savernian banner. I went to Alda, the Thunderlands, the Ashlands, and Worrikstead. All wonderful places, but some seem in stages of infancy where structures are still being constructed and/or replaced. The most developed I would say is the city of Nearon, the capital of the province of Alda. The city is rumored to be one of the largest cities in the area, possibly rivaling another city, Fornost, within Uldarash territory. The people were very welcoming and I enjoyed their company, especially when we stayed for drinks in the Witch's Cauldron. I even volunteered to help with some building projects as they needed some 'skilled' hands for adding some structures for lower class housing. Honestly, I am not particularly confident in the field of architecture, but they seemed to have like the huts I made...
