Journal Entry #16

Emotions in the Den have finally reached a boiling point these past few days. A mix of superstition and legitimate concern has made its voice known and the excavation has been forced to a halt just as we were nearing yet another trapped dragon. An official meeting is being called to discuss whether my project will be allowed to continue and the fate of those who have already been freed. The meeting is the first I've seen since arriving here. It seems that it is not a common occurrence as most of the Den handles any issues individually. The meeting itself was like nothing I had ever experienced. I expected to stand before a formal committee and state my case. This could not have been further from the lively discussion I was privy too. It was more akin to a feast, food and drink were in abundance and the Den's oldest resident stood watch over the proceedings and stated the issue the Den faced. Everyone was given a chance to voice their own opinion and anyone who wishes is allowed to counter immediately afterward. After everyone had said their piece the votee was then given the option to change or stand by their vote. Everyone within the clan is allowed a say regardless of status or occupation and the reason for food and drink became apparent as the meeting dragged on for many hours. In the end, the verdict was this. I must cease all future excavations within the Den. The only allowance I've been given is that I might free the last dragon we've discovered. Furthermore, all dragons and items uncovered thus far must be removed from the den upon finishing the excavation. A devastating decision to be sure. I've carefully cataloged and examined all the items found so far so the data will not be lost but I admit this does little to assuage the knowledge that these artifacts will likely be scattered to the far reaches of Sornieth. None the less, I cannot fault the Den for their decision. This is their home and they have taken a great risk to allow me to excavate here to begin with. For now, my focus must be on the last dragon trapped within the Ice

Bisterne

This final dragon is actually somewhat well known in this region of Sornieth and hasn't been under Ice long enough to be completly forgotten. He was known as Bisterne the Salamander and is renown for his metallurgy skills. Though most seem to have glossed over his eccentric attitude. Loud, intense, and somehow standoffish, conversing with him has proven to be a lesson in patience and persistence. I have not been able to uncover any information about Bisterene's past and he seems unwilling to tell me anything. I believe he assumes I am attempting to wheedle knowledge of his craft from him. Despite my many comments to the contrary. Hopefully I will be able to persuade him to talk before he is forced out of the Den with the others.

There was a disturbance last night. Bisterne had decided to take a midnight stroll around the Den and stumbled upon a cache of alchemical reagents. To put it simply, he is no longer a Mirror but has unintentionally undergone the process of transforming into a Bogsneak. He does not seem overly bothered by this, in fact, it seems to have amused him greatly and after further explanation, on my part, he was finally willing to tell me a bit about his life pre-capture.

Bisterne was traditionally trained in the underground heat pockets that dot the mountain ranges. He was most well known for developing and crafting a particular brand of metal that could hold up to the frigid conditions of the Southern Icefields far better than ordinary steel. One day, a quite wealthy but arrogant individual demanded a ceremonial weapon be made for him. Unsurprisingly, this dragon's attitude rubbed Bisterne the wrong way and he refused to craft anything, ceremonial or otherwise, for the young noble or any of his kin. It seems retaliation was harsh and Bisterne was chased out of the thermal caves and continued to pursue him deep into the Fortress of Ends. As for what became of those who pursued him, there is a very real chance that they too now lie frozen somewhere in the pillar of ice. An idea which seems to delight Bisterne to no end.
