It looks like the coven is using Corlain as a base of operations. There's no way we'll be able to cut through this many of them without the rest of the Inquisitors. They must still be stuck behind the wall. <class>, there are three smaller footmen gates along the walls into Corlain. See if you can get them open so our allies can make their way through.
It would appear that this is where the coven is training their new acolytes. Our efforts may be for naught if they continue to expand their numbers. I cannot leave Lucille's side in this place, but you have already shown yourself a formidable combatant. Cut them down.
Take a look in the city square, <class>. <Marshal Reade gestures toward a ritual being performed by some disciples in the distance.> I don't know what they're doing to that wicker construct, but I don't like it. We've seen the kind of damage those things can do without the aid of the coven's magic. I am loath to see what those are capable of. You know what must be done.
<This discarded journal looks like it belonged to one of the residents of upper Corlain. Within it details some early signs of the Heartsbane's appearance in Corlain. If you can find more writings like this, you might be able to piece together the events that led to Corlain's current state.>
It has been a fortnight since anyone in Corlain has seen or heard from Lord or Lady Waycrest. Solicitors are turned back by the gate guards with no word on their condition.
Rumors are abound that the land is suffering from a wasting sickness, and that the lady is so grief-stricken she has locked herself in his chambers.
These are truly dark times for Drustvar.
This is the third night that our Maggie has secreted away when she thought her father and I were asleep. I tried to follow, but I lost her outside the courtyard to Waycrest Manor.
The Daveys said their girl has also gone missing some nights, only to return as mysteriously as she left, acting as if nothing is the matter.
Her father swears he saw her enter the manor, but that’s preposterous. Nobody has been in our out of that manor in weeks!
There has been a third disappearance this week. The guards insist there is nothing to be worried about, but I know better.
I spoke with Mr Knowlton just last night, and he saw the body of Jon the stablehand, who was the first to go missing. The image was burned in his brain, he said - profane markings covering the wall of his servant’s shack, and his body sprawled on his cart, a gaping hole in his chest where his heart used to be.
Knowlton is gone, now, and the guards are silent.
I feel that Corlain is no longer safe for me and my family. Once we’re able, we should relocate to Arom’s Stand.
