Sabra's Journal

Sabra's Journal:

Upon Sabra's death by Yog-ka's hand, she dropped her journal, which was then picked up by a young HC initiate, Reagans. Reagans told The Kestrel, then Guardian of the house, and the two brought them to security in House Calenture and began studying them. Their possession of the journals remained secret until the Lyrans declared Reagans Keeper of the Journal.

The Journal was an Element of Infinite Insight. It was not a prime artifact. It bore the inscription: "This is of stories and histories written in Sabra's hand. It contains any knowledge she knew. Unfortunately, the book is old and tattered and it is barely readable in places. It sparks the imagination, gives life to the mundane and provides insight to the dream." It contained everything Sabra had learned, but it was very old and impossible to read.

Reagans later learned he could use the journal to help restore Sabra to the dream. Using it, he brought Sabra back and returned her journals. Sabra awarded Reagans with an element of infinite lucidity for keeping the book safe. This journal has helped restore Sabra's memories.

The Lost Journal of Sabra, Dreamseer

Day 34: Journal 1/2:(presented to Innioc) I have been accepted into the Order of the Scribes. I realize the work is arduous, but this is such an honor. Borith Strynn actually brought me word of my acceptance himself.

Day 34: Journal 2/2:(presented to Lawman) I was so nervous I actually stammered. The trials for acceptance are finally over and perhaps I can sleep. Or perhaps not. That wild Telomir wants to throw a party. ~Sabra~

Day 41: Journal 1/2:(presented to Elspet) Why do they assign new Scribes to the busiest teachers? I spent nine hours in the classroom today--after my assigned mentor attended three meetings. Even my hair hurts and I'm talking to myself.

Day 41: Journal 2/2:(presented to Purple Lace) Sometimes I think they do this to us to see if we break. It was rather nice though when I was allowed to choose three students of my own to teach. Perhaps one day, I too will earn a halo. ~Sabra~

Day 77: Journal 1/1:(presented to Innioc) There's a rumor of a new art, one that enables the user to keep written records. I hope the Scribes get this art. It would make our work so much easier. ~Sabra~

Day 91: Journal 1/2:(presented to Intrigue) The new art of inscribe remains almost unknown still, though I managed to find a codex and study it. The mechanics are interesting ... and the possibilities ...

Day 91: Journal 2/2:(presented to Munchkin) Class was interesting though. A new apprentice, a fatesender, deafened the instructor. That Yog-Ka is a strange one. Something about him is ... different ... ~Sabra~

Day 97: Journal 1/2:(presented to Innioc) I had a dream last night that showed a talisman similar to the talisman produced by inscribe, but it was different. And it was used with the art of train. I wonder ...

Day 97: Journal 2/2:(presented to Munchkin) After class tomorrow I'm going to experiment with that codex I found. If I can isolate the part that enables inscription, I think I can insert it into the train art. ~Sabra~

Day 103: Journal 1/1:(presented to Elspet) I have begun to take apart train, preparatory to inserting an inscription ability. Its components are really interesting. I think if I changed this one part ... ~Sabra~

Day 106: Journal 1/2:(presented to Kaer Gerroz) Success! I managed to produce what I call a 'Quest' -- a talisman that documents a teacher's task. This will make our work so much easier. I plan to share this with the Scribes at the meeting tomorrow.

Day 106: Journal 2/2:(presented to Munchkin) No more hours spent scrubbing floors when we forget some minor part of a task that was written weeks ago. I'm going to practice my penmanship. ~Sabra~

Day 111: Journal 1/2:(presented to Lawman) Oops! It seems I did something when I messed with train. The teachers can't use their train without the 'quests' I invented. A mere technicality I suppose, as all the Scribes have the quest art now.

Day 111: Journal 2/2:(presented to Kili Amania) They are starting to call quest 'the apprentice art'. The Scribes have decided it should remain that way -- at least for now. ~Sabra~

Day 407: Journal 1/1:(presented to Purple Lace) The day has finally come, and I don't know if I remember how to breathe. They placed an azure halo over my head today! Gosh, don't let me mess this up! ~Sabra~

Day 519: Journal 1/2:(presented to Intrigue) It was decided that since many of the Scribes with quest are now ordained teachers, quest will be shared with trusted teachers and mentors.

Day 519: Journal 2/2:(presented to Purple Lace) Concern was expressed by Balthiir that training of apprentices would suffer if the teachers could inscribe their own quests. Have you ever tried to decipher the handwriting of some of these teachers? ~Sabra~

Day 882: Journal 1/2:(presented to Intrigue) It's gone ... So much lost ... Everything is so changed from what we knew. Many of our taslismens, wiped away! Planes transformed almost beyond recognition.

Day 882: Journal 2/2:(presented to Munchkin) Many of our arts are forgotten - including quest. But that will have to wait. This will be my last entry for a while; so much to be done. ~Sabra~
