Map of the Iron Province

TRANSCRIPT

Day 193 - April 15th, 2741

I think I'm just walking around in circles at this point. Early this morning, the tunnels I'm in had a brief opening leading to a long shaft of sorts going down. At the bottom, I saw something with a faint green glow, and some power resonating with my stone. Initially I wanted to avoid this, but every turn I took lead me back to this shaft. Another window, or bridge across, all was woven around whatever this was.

But as I continued on, I was getting closer and closer, and noticed an increasing level of cultists, which made traversing slow and tedious. By the afternoon, I was close enough to get a glimpse of what lied below.

It was an array of obelisks, broken and fractured much like the one I saw in the Echo on my way to the Foundry. I don't know if this was a coincidence or not, but whatever it is, its something of grave importance to the cultists, and I can't seem to divert my path away from it even if I try. I just keep finding myself back on the path again and again.

But that was not all that happened. I was trying to figure out what to do if I get down there, and how to get around the cultists by using the stone to sense their movements and map them. During this, out of nowhere, 3 massive energy signatures appeared in the distance. And despite the distance, it felt like I was a little ant in comparison to these titans. It was so overwhelming to the senses that it was paralyzing.

The only good thing that came out of this, was that it also got the attention of the cultists, and every single one of them started moving towards the entities, freeing up the obelisks down below. And those already nearby were flaring up their energy in spikes, so too did the entities in return. Then the cultist's energy faded away.

Its not friendly to the cultists. I don't know for certain but my gut is telling me so. I don't know what the fuck they are, but if its able to annihilate these cultists, then I absolutely CANNOT cross paths with them.

As of right now, the only thing I can do is move towards the pillars. I don't know how long the entities will be around, so I need to make every minute count.
