- We care little about your stupid conflicts in the eastern borders. You broke our treaty by trespassing our frontiers, and now you ask from us the very lands you just stole by force. After raiding the southern fortress, no less! Do you really believe we are going to be lenient about this matter now?

- It is certainly unfortunate that you couldn’t find a solution to this problem. Everything seems peaceful and good from our current location, but if Uria’s minions win the war and take over the continent, it will be a matter of time until they come back to claim this island. What if Yechnagoth is able to control the surface creatures in the continent again?

- Can you help us? I know our leader appears to be particularly resentful of you for reasons I don’t even begin to understand, but it’s said that the evil Daent has returned from the land of the dead to get his revenge upon us, for banishing him from the village. The rumors of the power he has amassed in the meanwhile are worrying.

- vultraz: don't miss the comma removed between 'us' an 'for'
- 8680: Maybe "The rumors of the power he has amassed since then are worrying."?

- 8680: concur.

- It’s of utmost importance that the situation in the east is cleared up. The friendly elvish faction has asked us for aid, but as it is now we are unable to gather the complete Council to come to an agreement. We don’t have many men to spare right now, so it’s been suggested that you could lead a militia in order to assist them and hopefully find out who is this mysterious impersonator.

- 8680: I concur, but maybe "and hopefully discover the identity of this mysterious impersonator" would be better (more formal)?
- 271
- That’s a fair deal, although I would like to know first what’s in there that makes it such a great priority for you over your reputation and your people.
- That’s a fair deal, although I would first like to know what this journal contains that makes it such a great priority for you over your reputation and people.

- Let’s purge this plague out of the country!
- Let's purge Irdya of this plague!
- 8680: Maybe one of these?
- Let's purge this blight from Irdya!
- Let's rid Irdya of this blight!
- vultraz: I prefer my edit
- 8680: "plague" is a bit awkward, "blight" is more usual. Ask OSL when he's available.
- 8680: Maybe one of these?

- We aren’t the only group that has stood up against her rule, but we are one of the few that has survived to this day. We’ve seen her real power, and only the wielder of the Union could possibly stand a chance against her — if only that power didn’t fall into her hands following your short incursion into her territory.

- 8680: Re "that" -> "who": no, "that" is correct.
- 8680: RFC: In "stood up against her rule", I think either "up" or "rule" should be dropped.

- I would like to keep our pact as a secret between us. Even if the Grand Council understood, there seems to be a fair chance it could fall and provide Uria’s henchmen with information about our plans. Nobody should tell anyone else about this.
- I would like to keep our pact a secret between us. Even if the Grand Council understood, there seems a fair chance it could fail and provide Uria’s henchmen with information about our plans. No one should speak of this.
- 8680: Re drop "as": concur.
- 8680: Re "fall" -> "fail": I think the meaning is that the Council could be captured and interrogated.
- Confirmed by OSL.
- 8680: Re last sentence: concur.
- Or maybe "Let none speak of this."
- OSL: Maybe change "it could fall" to "they could fall".

- Their base of operations is said to be located in Telchior’s Hold in the Valley of Elynia — the very place whence we fled under Galas’ command following the Chaos invasion. Something really wrong must have occurred in there after our departure. As I recall, the last time we met you mentioned that Lord Lédinor was infested by Uria.

- 8680: I concur with all changes, but OSL seemed to not want to involve himself in the *s’s? debate.
- 207
- But... I don’t know anything about the valley’s location other than the fact that it’s in the middle of the desert, and fighting in a desert could be disastrous!

- The scouts reported the presence of orcs bearing the Chaos banner in a settlement ahead in the southeast, in the Gralseth region. Stopping to rest here would be very risky with those fools around, but perhaps we could secure their settlement and replenish our supplies.

- 8680: If this is someone explaining why they're banishing some undead, I'd drop "that".
- 8680: If this is someone simply declaring that they are banishing some undead (e.g. in the latter's die event), maybe:
- "I banish you from this world! Go now to your deserved rest!"?

- My master was a sadly misguided person — his destruction was well deserved. Uria’s power is the greatest force that’s ever graced us. We could avoid wasting so many lives all over the continent if everyone accepted her offer and joined her cause.

- A Shaxthal hive, apparently built in the valley’s underground fortress. According to Unarye, the valley was only slightly habitable in the beginning, and the elves had to seek refuge in the natural caverns at day at first, while they worked to adapt the surface land to their needs during the night.

- I have had enough of this — surround her and strike her down! Do not let her get away this time!
- I have had enough of this — surround her and strike her down! Do not let her get away!
- vultraz: This is the third time in four dialog lines the phrase 'this time' is used. I think the previous two can stay, since they both are said by Ivyel, and she might have some slightly robotic speech patterns. However, for Elynia (who speaks this line), I believe 'this time' can be removed to reduce redundancy.
- 8680: approved.
