Day 17 -- Everyone is overjoyed that we have actually reached the northern marches, including myself. I look forward to setting camp and finding treasure! Day 22 -- We were forced to kill a pair of wolves near the encampment. Day 28 -- The men are upset that no gold hath been found... However, I remain confident of our venture. Day 40 -- Finding more wolves than gold. Day 41 -- Gold. At last!

Day 45 -- Women and children are finding gold nuggets. How exciting! This is fabulous! 'Tis finally paying. Day 69 -- More have been eaten alive. Wolves. More wolves. Men behaving like wolves.

The encampment is split into factions. Now, I will cease writing and rest by the fire, gathering much needed strength for tomorrow. Day 183 -- Draygan betrayed us. Who would have thought it? I think bitterly of his treachery. The ship is burnt. We are doomed. The howling is getting closer...
