To whoever finds this.
I hope you didn't make the same mistake I did, falling into this cursed hole without any levitation potions in my sack. I don't know how long I've been here, the cursed darkness has made me lose track of day and night. Has it been days? Months? Atleast [sic] my enchanted lantern has kept me sane. No one's been here other than spikeworms and all sorts of crawly, nasty things. I'm afraid these might be my last words, and that I'll never see the sun, or my home, again..
I think the date is around the 14th of Hearthfire, but I might be wrong. At least I know it's the 397th year of the Third Era, and that I'm somewhere near the city of Karthwasten, or at least what's left of it. All too far from my childhood streets in Daggerfall.
I think the war is over, but one can hardly tell. Travelling through the ruins of the Reach, the evidence of war is gruesome. Everywhere there are signs of warfare. Entire cities put to the torch, either by soldiers or oppertunistic [sic] raiders. The dead or dying line the roads. Whereever [sic] you go, black smoke fills your lungs.
The chaos has turned every Man, Elf or Beast against one another. Not even the roads are safe anymore, and the commoners calling to the Legion for help are met with a deafening silence. Everywhere there are brigands and warbands plundering the scraps that were left from the conquest and battle. Last I heard, there still was fighting in Dragonstar. Karthwasten fell before my eyes, and the Nords have already enacted brutal force in their new regime. I snuck my way out with a group of Redguards I had befriended during my stay in the city. But after crossing the Karth and making our way into the forest to hide, we were set upon by a gang of marauders, and I fled into these cursed caves.
Stranger, once again I hope you won't share my fate. If you manage to get out of here alive, I hope you will cherish each day you have left in Tamriel. I don't know if it is still there, but I buried some of my valuables behind the Dancing Saber tavern when the Nord armies approached, and I didn't have time to get them when we fled. They're yours, if they are still there. To find them, walk straight out of the backdoor until you reach the city walls. Then turn directly left, and walk 15 steps along the wall. If no one's found them yet, they should be there. The key to the chest is in my sack.
If you're ever in Daggerfall, please say hello to Beledrion, the old High Elf. He's probably still doing his rounds in the gardens. Good luck, stranger.
Sincerely,
Aland Remyon.
Adventurer, Savant, Daggerfall native,
and a damned fool.
