ARCHEOLOGICAL LOG - 16 December 09


ARCHEOLOGICAL LOG

Date: December 16

Project Site: Phaedran

Archeologist: Shai Khalifa


I decided to go on another dive today to the cave, as the Museum needed a picture of the arches in situ. I've included the picture taken as you come out of the entry tunnel into the main cave area.

As you can see from this, the cave goes much deeper still, and I have yet to delve further.

I've also had contact from the Lady Freyja of Valinor and she confirmed that some of the ancient texts her people have make mention of a delegation which was sent to Phaedran. This delegation consisted of highly respected advisers, individuals powerful with Elven magic and several young people who were in training for one purpose or another. It isn't quite clear who these people were, but Lady Freyja is sure that more research will eventually provide names. I am hopeful that eventually I'll locate documents which provide identity to the Phaedrani we know survived the fall. It would be wonderful to be able to give the Elves a clearer idea as to the fate of their kind.

As an aside, I think the relationship with the Elves will provide a glimpse into more than just the history of the Phaedrani as a people, but also more understanding of the architectural styles which I've found so far.

Although I have only touched the 'surface', so to speak, on Phaedran, tomorrow I'm going to start exploring the lands of Zanith.

So as my campfire dies down here, I'm imagining what I might find there. From what I can see from the camp, the region appears to be different to Phaedran and I can't wait to see in what way, and how they're connected.

It's a beautiful starry night tonight with a hint of warm breeze and I know I'll sleep well knowing my twin guardian dragons are watching over me.
