## Journal

1. Lord Snyder of Aldersley tasked me with searching the dungeons for the source of whatever noise is causing the prisoners to become unsettled.
2. After speaking to one of the prisoners, I learned about a secret passage behind the wall. I should go inside and explore whatever lies within.
3. I've discovered a large hole in a hidden room and an open tome of summoning, leading me to believe Lord Snyder knows more than he's led me to believe.
4. I found a mysterious man in the room below Lord Snyder’s summoning room. I should confront him and find out what he's doing down here.
5. After confronting the man, its still unclear to me who or what he is... but his intentions seem malicious. I should return to Lord Snyder and report my findings.
6. The conversation with Lord Snyder did not go well. I was thrown into a secret cell somewhere in the castle with another stranger. I should speak with him, and try to discover where I am and how I got here.
7. With Berrathyn’s help, we've escaped the cell. He believes he can teleport both of us back down to the area of the dungeon where I encountered the mysterious man... as long as I can clearly picture it in my head.
8. We did it. Berrathyn teleported us both to the bottom of the dungeon... but to my surprise both Lord Snyder and Tomyen have both made their way down and are engaged with the mysterious man. I should confront them and put an end to whatever foul deal is occurring here.
9. Lord Snyder ordered Tomyen kill the me... but in his haste, I got the better of him and killed him.
10. Enraged by Tomyen's death, Lord Snyder attacked me.
11. Lord Snyder is dead. All that's left now is to confront the mysterious man one last time and try and get to the bottom of this situation.
12. After some disturbing dialogue with the mysterious man in the dungeon, he disappeared through the portal which then closed behind him. I don't know exactly what Lord Snyder had intended to do, but it seems clear that the consequences of his actions will be far-reaching if the mysterious man returns. Berrathyn teleported us out of the dungeon and told me that he must return to his order of mages and report his findings. I should return to the Preserver and tell him what happened here and about the mysterious man.
13. The Preserver seemed surprised by my findings, but would not go in to detail about it. He assured me he would pursue the mysterious man and attempt to stop him from causing any harm. I should probably stay away from Castle Snyder for a while since I was seen with Lord Snyder recently... but it seems that I've done all I could there.
