Entry #1 – The Forgotten Song and the Riddle of Stars

Legends whispered among travelers tell of a Thieves Guild hidden beyond the edge of the known world, buried beneath the shadows of time. It is said that only those who can decipher an astrological chart hidden within a song of riddles will discover the coordinates to their secret fortress.

The guild’s sanctuary lies far from any map, guarded by ancient forces and the remains of long-forgotten wars. To find it is to gain access to treasures beyond measure: forbidden relics, stolen magic, and knowledge lost to the ages. It is rumored that the guild holds the key to an ancient forge—where weapons of power were forged in fire and moonlight during the 1000-Year War.

Entry #2 – The Song of the Riddle

Our journey began with a fragment of a song passed down through the centuries, a melody sung in the halls of wandering taverns. Each verse contained clues woven into riddles, hinting at constellations that align only once every century under the light of the Blood Moon.

"Beneath Orion’s scattered gaze,

Follow the Hunter through twilight’s maze.

Where Scorpio’s sting meets Leo’s pride,

The path to the fortress will open wide."

It is only when sung beneath the Blood Moon’s glow that the stars reveal the path—a hidden route leading far into the desert wastelands, past forgotten cities swallowed by time.

Entry #3 – Into the Deserted Lands

Date: 5th of November, 2024

Time: 02:00

Weather: Cold winds sweep across the desert

We set out under the glow of the Blood Moon, charting our course through the desert’s endless dunes. The constellations shifted above us, slowly aligning with the riddles sung in the song. It was a journey that felt like following shadows on the edge of reality, where each step deeper into the wilderness seemed to erase us from the world we left behind.

Through long nights of travel, we watched the stars shift into place: Orion leading us through valleys, Leo roaring from the heights, and Scorpio’s tail marking the distant horizon. At last, beneath a strange alignment of stars, we found it—a fortress buried deep within a forgotten canyon, hidden far beyond the reach of mortal maps.

Entry #4 – The Secret Fortress of the Thieves Guild

Date: 7th of November, 2024

Time: 17:30

Weather: Silent skies, cold wind howling through ancient ruins

The entrance to the Thieves Guild’s fortress was marked by a broken stone archway, covered in symbols etched into the rock—worn by wind and time. We pushed through the heavy gates, feeling the weight of countless secrets pressing down on us.

Inside, the fortress sprawled in eerie silence, its halls lit only by moonlight filtering through cracks in the stone. Tattered banners hung from the walls, remnants of battles fought long ago during the 1000-Year War. The air carried the scent of forgotten treasure, old parchment, and leather-bound tomes that whispered of quests yet untold.

Entry #5 – The Riddle of the Ancient Forge

At the heart of the fortress lies a forge untouched for centuries, its flames long extinguished. An inscription above the forge, written in a language older than any we knew, read:

"Through the fire of moons and steel,

Reforge the world with blade and zeal.

The key to light and shadow’s gate,

Lies in the stars—decipher your fate."

The forge’s fire cannot be relit by ordinary flame—it requires a spark drawn from the alignment of stars beneath the next Blood Moon. The Thieves Guild has guarded this knowledge for centuries, waiting for the right hands to claim it. Those who succeed in lighting the forge are said to gain not only weapons of unmatched power but also the ability to shape the course of the world’s future.

Entry #6 – The Final Quest: A Journey to the End of the World

Date: 10th of November, 2024

Time: 03:00

Weather: Wind howling through the canyon, auroras flickering across the distant horizon

The Thieves Guild’s leaders, known only by the titles Shadowmaster and Keeper of the Lost Keys, welcomed us into the sanctuary. They spoke of the final quest—a journey to the edge of the world, where the first forge was built, high above the clouds in the peaks of mountains lashed by storms and lit by auroras.

The ancient texts tell of violent storms and spirits guarding the forge, and of the prophets whose songs can awaken ancient powers. Beyond the forge, there lies an underground realm—a hidden oasis, where oceans shimmer beneath stone ceilings and mythical quests await those brave enough to enter.

The guild’s final message to us was clear: “Only those who walk in both shadow and light can unlock the forge.” Our path lies ahead, through violent storms, beyond the ends of the earth, guided only by the stars and the whisper of ancient songs.
