Nerry	Records of Pathforger 77-1 of the former Wending Hills colony, now integrated under the designation ‘Blindman’s Pact’ station. Entry #40.
Niers Astoragon	If you’re reading this, I’m dead. Or I’ve made contact with another colony or Pathforger group large enough to surrender these records. Those are the two options I envision—the third being that you’re Niers Astoragon and you’ve somehow managed to decode my writings.
[Translate]	If so, congratulations. You’re even smarter than we think you are. I know for a fact it’s not easy; even a [Translation] spell only gives you gibberish.
Erin Solstice	Enough mewling. This is a record of events, my debt to Erin Solstice, my attempt to move us even an inch closer to completing one of the Trials of Levelling, and my journey since landing in Baleros.
Baleros	Enough mewling. This is a record of events, my debt to Erin Solstice, my attempt to move us even an inch closer to completing one of the Trials of Levelling, and my journey since landing in Baleros.
The Wandering Inn	Normally, it would be a record for another Pathforger in my hoofsteps to use to copy my identity or continue pushing an objective. I’m sure the Pathforger assigned to The Wandering Inn read my notes. However…I don’t think anyone’s copying me this time.
Eydole	I’d say that’s terrifying, but I’m beyond terror, I think. I have the greatest opportunity afforded to any Sariant Lamb since Eydole the Creator’s death. Damn her to torture in the afterlife, if there is one still. I can’t mess this up. This record, since my last ones were lost at sea or are still in the inn, will at least steady my mind. It’s a habit. So, to outline myself for any other colonies I may meet, here is my background.
Nerry	I am Pathforger 77-1, the seventy-seventh member of my colony to be sent on an objective that advances the Trials of Levelling. First of my particular assignment, formerly to The Wandering Inn. Sometimes…that number is different. 6-173, I think, is the highest number of Pathforgers sent on a task that I know of on Izril’s shores. One hundred and seventy-three Pathforgers who tried to cutesy up to Barnvorr the Madman and earn his respect. He ate half of them, and it came to naught.

Nerry	My name is Nerry. I’m not sure if it’s my Petname or…my real one. Half the Wild Colonies would spit on me just for using it, but I like it. It’s Nerry, short for ‘Nerrhavia’, as in the Immortal Tyrant. Even if it was suggested to me by my last owners…they’re a special case, and I like it.

The Wandering Inn	I’ve written the summary of my actions at The Wandering Inn and my other observations about Nanette Weishart, Ryoka Griffin, and Erin Solstice as Pathfriends above. Any Sariant colony who reads this journal will understand it is paramount to keep them alive. Pathfriends are so rare…few people can even hear of the Trials of Levelling and not forget. Let alone be on our side.

Baleros	I’m alone. Baleros has few colonies I know of. I shall make do.
Niers Astoragon	What else shall I say? I wrote of how I got here. It has been about a week since Niers Astoragon admitted me into his academy. I think I’ve played the part of Erin Solstice well enough, but I have my doubts.
