### Locations

* Aldura-Umal- desert where we crashed a flying ship
* Culium-Mals- interdimensional train city
* The Dales- massive buildings built in a valley of rice fields and farms
* Enteris-Mal- A place full of racists which has a wish granting device at the end of a labyrinth, appears to be unsolvable. Execution through unknown energy means, transforms a person into a shadow
* Petris-Mal- I used to live here, so I didn't think I would need a page for this, but here we are. The Iron Wood is possibly resistant to magical attacks, and is otherwise just an extremely durable wood. The best way to cut down an iron wood tree may possibly be with an enchanted Iron Wood tool (or weapon). THE HOUSES ARE ALL ALIVE!!! PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BUT THEY WERE *WRONG* AND I WAS *RIGHT*

### Monsters

* Lokni, The Herald Of Storms, does not bring storms, warns about the storms to prepare people for it. The more intense it makes its sighting, the more destructive the storm will be, helpful preventative behavior
* Zhora, creates canyons and tunnels, more plant-like than biologically monstrous, might speak, can breathe lasers, roar like an eagle and fire crackling
* Arashi, Stormbringer, some kind of thunder dragon attacked us and brought down our flying ship
* Steamrays, particularly fast? used for racing in the desert of Aldura-Umal, extremely hot, propelled by steam, extremely agile, variety of sizes, culturally seen as tools
* Saens-Saens, massive monster in a ravine that does not move, causes earthquakes when it moves
* Ghosts, real, may be as simple as not wanting to be dead
* Skeletal Dragon, seen by Koda in a vision, possibly native to Arraris or the Fjordlands which possibly went on a rampage under False Gold, unlikely hypothesis
* Ka-Chew-Ka, octopus, powers the train city that is Culium-Mal, can alter reality to its own wishes, likes to cheat at games of luck
* Jerborahm, speaks prophecies, knows how to write apparently
* Aajeja, burning essence, horrible pain, don't drink again, "Comet Bird" in Petrian, tries to break low orbit, possibly alien
* Hatto, one of the essence in the box, extremely destructive lasers, deadly intent, variant "Beholder"? Actually was a small child who got changed into the Hatto
* Shirin, had the False Gold, had zombified all of The Dales. False Gold caused it to believe it was a god. Assists with the growth of plants, is a symbol of love
* Selma, one of the essence in the box
* Volis, large colony of microscopic things, over 3 million of them, hivemind, able to speak in symbols
* Black Devil, old story(?), possibly from space, possibly made of shadow, possibly eldritch being with a hunger for the living
* ~~???~~ Golem, massive cloven hooves, incredibly intelligent, strong enough to destroy iron wood trees, possibly integrating the Iron Wood with its body as weaponry
* ~~Zombies, no spirit, not aggressive, capable of speech~~ This is the second tiem I've added zombies to my journal, and I'm starting to suspect zombies aren't real

### Illnesses

* Pulsating Blood Crystals- Red crystals growing out of monsters, extremely fragile, explode when met with immense physical force, seemingly symbiotic as a defensive mechanism. Medicine required to fix. Extremely explosive when healing
* False Gold- Unusual reaction to Monster Gift Blood Samples. Music removed False Gold from a small sample applied to Koda's blood sample. Living parasite, seems to infect souls as well as bodies. Able to be removed with soul magic, but could possibly give the remover False Gold
* Monster Gift Blood Samples- Possibly remain connected to the emotional status of the individual they are taken from. Caitlin possibly used one
* ~~Zombificaiton~~- Somehow turning people into cultist zombies. Possible emotional manipulation. Not particularly intelligent, recognizes Koda as a Shirin. The Shirin killed a farmer, and ten others who are MIA currently. All of this actually the False Gold
* Midas Touch- made of pyroxite, has the ability to copy the scent of anything put in it, has given Sid's family the False Gold
* Radiation Poisoning- possibly from space?

### Medicine

* Kymera- seems to temporarily cure False Gold, causes spasms, deteriorated the cadaver given a small dose, attempts to escape any non-circulated bloodstream. 3 minutes from one drop

### People Of Interest

#### Lawrence Walker

* Odd man who keeps following us around
* Has a daughter named Lucy Walker
* Caitlin and Victor fear him
* Controls time, can only see about six seconds in the future
* Attacked Yorkis-Mal
* ~~Possibly created the False Gold,~~ used it on Valo's grandmother
* Easily distracted by circular talk and talking about himself
* Shmuck

#### Lucy Walker

* Gift from Selma, plant based growth only
* Victor is "part of her family"
* Doesn't believe people with monster gifts are real people

* Likes Victor, afraid of Cat

#### Sol Family

* Armormeister, soldiers for palace-level breaches, armed with weapons specifically for their skillset, highest ranking candidates able to challenge Caitlin, the one in Petris-Mal, Hammerfell, has a monster gift of something that is from nearby
* Hammerfell sent to Petris-Mal because its a place no one wanted to go and she had a visual monster gift? Unusual in the Golden Guard

* Elder of Nature
* Me

### The Prophecy From Jerborahm

**Mine**- I see many places. In this one, only death may bring life. The exits of man are not made equal. The exit for one may be the entrance for thousands. But what is one life worth? What is truth? What is right? Is it justice?

**Koda's**- Man 1000 years ago to end war, succeeded / Fight on more fronts than one / Your enemy and yet your ally / Who are they really
