Underdark diaries: Day 1

Yesterday I tired of reading up on spells and waiting for official permission and preparing messages. I tired of standing by while my friends suffer. Alais was the last straw, and somehow I'm determined to help her and Jules if Jules is even in Navere.

I took some items that would aid my trip and then cast a disguise spell and went into the underdark. My plan was to reach Navere by traveling the dark caverns under earth until I find it. These diaries, written seperate from my regular journal, will serve as a record of what is most likely to be my final adventure. I only hope that they can aid those who come after me to succeed where I failed.

Today I traveled down in a south-southwesterly direction. The drow seem to shift the route of their caves near the surface every so often to confuse any who might try to come down. I met a drow patrol but made short work of them and teleported them all to a far off land rather than kill them. I don't wish to kill while I'm down here.

While many, my past self included, seem to think that the drow are pure evil, now that I've reached their city beneath Dragonshire I certainly don't think so. They're living things, and though they may be a more cruel and callous kind than most on the surface, they do not seem as different when they're not raiding and warring with us. Their city seems so peaceful right now.

I'm going to use the symbol of House Ilgaas, one of the main houses beneath Kielder, to try to convince a drow merchant to help me towards the lands of Sanctuary, where I believe Navere is located somewhere. The merchant I spoked to seemed amiable enough and I was able to ply him with some gold. Getting to the general area shouldn't be too hard, but I'm not sure about finding Navere.
