*House Basement; **Object Response***

Coffins; "It looks like something clawed its was out... Must have been rats... right?"

*Lore Room: **Writ of Execution***

"On this day, I, Richard Vann, ratify this writ of the Execution for a one, Captain Amadeus Crowl, for the crimes of Treason, Insubordination, and Murder. His execution is set to be carried out by drowning cage on the morrow. All Hail the Great King Regnir and the Crown of Ashford. Signed, His Loyal Subject -Richard Vann"

*Lore Room: **Old Report***

"While he was confirmed to have been left in the drowning cage south of the reefs, we found said cage, empty. I find it hard to believe the fish could have picked him clean so quickly. Though, I suppose it would be fitting for him to join his wife in tragic death. If is a shame such a powerful soul must be wasted on such a public and official death. Surely, it could have had better uses."

*Lore Room: **Old Journals** (bottom right)*

"My son is on to me. The Frontier has made him too strong, beyond what I've seen in Humans. Luckily, he does not seem to know my secret here. So long as I am with my pets, I am safe. They will protect mine and Var's legacy. Even against, Darrow, Quinlan, and my Son. I am not afraid. Var is with me. Signed, -Richard Vann"

*Lore Room: **Old Journals** (bottom left)*

"I have killed countless people. I even made a deal with Crocodile to bring me more creatures to use. But, somehow it isn't enough. No matter. I will kill as many as I need,, and I will prove those damn Akinai wrong. For you, my God, I have dispatched my men south to seek the one who tormented my father. Perhaps Vars mortal form is the answer. To make matters worse, my son has returned from the Frontier and seems to suspect me. I will need to dispatch of him soon, I fear he will follow in my Father's footsteps. Signed, - Richard Vann"

*Lore Room: **Old Journals** (top right)*

"I recall something in my father's writing about this Blade needing two more Souls. I have... experimented with this theory. The deaths were not quick nor easy. The Blade is far too damaged to have a proper edge. However, for you, my God, I managed. After the second kill, to my surprise, nothing happened. Perhaps their souls were weak? Or did they lack souls entirely? Regardless, I will have my men gather creatures from every land. We will discover what souls are needed. Signed, -Richard Vann"

*Lore Room: **Old Journals** (top left)*

"Foolishness. My father believed Var could be stopped. But can a man stop Death? Certainly not. But, it may be possible to ally yourself. Darrow refuses to help me in repairing the Blade. It is fine, I shall find another way. His essence... War. I still hear him. He calls out to me. Soon, my God. Signed, -Richard Vann"
