  • Ludin leads us through the Lost City using the map Carl gave me
  • The Gravity Wand warns us of a gravity well in front of us. Metal and dead animals are crushed inside of it

Journal of Lesym the Render

...Bribed the Warden to keep pesky old acquaintances away from the project. They were holding me back, so I have switched to mercenaries instead of "friends." Baron Eto Loracce has so many miners that he has offered to split the profits with me from the colossus in exchange for workers.

But if my plan is successful, we won't ever have to pay him. I will steal the Eye of Transcendence. I have finally received a description of it from my contacts.

The Eye of Transcendence is a disembodied humanoid eye about 9 feet in diameter, with lids of a textured, synth-like substance that is mottled black and green. The iris is all black except for a burning blue flame of a pupil. The relic is suspended within a metallic bracket device via faintly visible lines of force.

It is rumored to be a visual portal that provides the past and future course of history to those willing to risk its gaze. I will take this Eye and use it to see the future. With this power at my side, no activity or crime will be stoppable, and I will finally rule this town, this jade monstrosity, and more. The last hurdle is within sight, now I just need some suckers to steal it and look into it for me -- I will not char into a blackened husk from its gaze!
