Date Unknown, Inside The Tain
Tradition tells us almost nothing of the Myrkridia save for the
horrible skull platforms they would build from the severed heads
of their enemies. We found one of these a few hours ago, thirty
feet high and a hundred feet across, each skull arranged with
a mad precision that was terrifying to behold.
Many of the skulls were human, or at least humanoid, but among
these were others which were certainly not, whose shapes and curves
I have tried to forget ever since. In the center of the platform,
far above our heads, rose the ancient battle standard of the Myrkridia.
We left immediately.
Murgen believes that we are close to finding a backdoor. A secret
exit from the Tain added by its creators so they could escape
the thing if it were ever used against them. It will be hidden,
of course, and almost certainly protected by traps, but it is
our only chance of escape.
These caves are so vast that we've been able to locate less than
fifty of the four thousand men we suspect are imprisoned with
us. Murgen hopes that he can release the others after we have
escaped, by destroying the Tain at the exit.
I asked him if doing so would also set free everything which had
ever been imprisoned in the Tain, but got no response.
