Diary Entry
Axes and Splinters Axes and Splinters Axes and Splinters
 * 1) Decim, a Centurion at the fort where I was recently imprisoned, reported that they're running low on firewood. Their suppliers are a small group of dwarven lumberjacks living near the abandoned village of New Tyrene. The dwarves have not been seen for ten days. Decim asked me to check up on them.
 * 2) A dwarf in New Tyrene introduced himself as Lestor, and insisted that I follow him, mumbling about some kind of quarrel.
 * 3) Sure enough, I arrived to find an agitated crowd of humans and dwarves shouting at each other. My attention was drawn to a hunter and a guard, evidently the instigators of the conflict. I need to talk to them. Lestor also mentioned someone named Stein. Perhaps he's nearby as well?
 * 4) The instigator's names are Lupin and Rald. Lupin is a hunter who harbors a burning animosity towards dwarves. Rald is a deserter from the Crucis guards—the same deserter who was supposedly eaten by wolves. They asked me to eal with the dwarves in order that they might free the prisoners of Crucis and frustrate the king of Nostria.
 * 5) Attack the humans: Well! Although the dwarves have long suffered under human oppression, today they stood with me on the side of the law. The instigators of the riots were defeated and driven back into the woods whence they came. Now you must go to the dwarven warehouse to collect your reward.
 * 6) Crucis will be warm again and continue to dominate this valley. Perhaps the  dwarves' presence will encourage humans to settle in this abandoned land, and the gloomy Valley of New Hope may one day live up to its name.
