Lomis' Notebook

Lomis' Notebook is an item of interest in the World of Thera campaign setting. The notebook was discovered in the catacombs of Saint Roark in Bota Mejor by Gruda, Kaylin, Monika Brightwood, and Valeni Mal'Otor.

Lomis' Notebook is a series of handwritten notes and sketches found in what appeared to be Lomis' personal quarters. They depict and describe a quintent of people that are later revealed to be related to the crypts found at Belzac's Retreat.

The notebook is neatly bound with reddish-brown leather. It seems mostly unremarkable from the outside save for the name 'Lomis' engraved along the spine in small letters.

The bulk of the notebook is filled with strange scribbling of symbols and equations that seem indecipherable. Throughout these notes are Five sketches in black ink:

The first is a stunningly beautiful High Elven woman with thin linear facial tattoos across her cheeks, chin, and forehead. These tattoos seem indentical to those of the Elven bartender Puzzo in Joppah. She is wearing a resplendent set of plate mail armor etched with roses. Large stylized owl heads form the shoulder plates. The group later encounters a banshee who appears identical to this woman, and piece together through Polcyn's Journal that she is named Sharbella.

The second drawing is of an orcish man wearing layers of black robes over chainmail. His hair has been mostly shaved clean, but a trio of thin braids are coiled atop his head. A massive scar cuts across the orc's nose, right cheek, and neck. He is depicted with a serious expression.

The third sketch shows a smiling halfling man with a shock of boyishly tousled hair. The man is posing with obvious pride while wearing slim-fitting leathers. A diaphanous scarf flutters around his neck.

The fourth depiction is of a dashingly handsome human man wearing chainmail, tunic, heavy belt and gloves. Kaylin identifies the markings and style as originating among the Avoin military. He is shown looking out into the distance with a square jawline and a noble expression. The group later discovers the crypt with a similar frieze of this man's image and put together that this is Polcyn's husband Ifan.

The fifth and final sketch is of a particularly dour-faced Dwarven man with wild hair and a thick beard pulled into three neat plaits. He is shown wearing robes with a wide trim marked with strange mystical sigils. He is notably missing his right thumb. The group discovers later that this dwarf is the sorcerer Belzac.

The notebook also has several handwritten notes in Common that seem taken out of context:

"Bringer of Armies, Mother of Shadows, Breaker of Crowns, The Final Sigh, Angel of Curses"

"Ten at War with Two. One King kneeling, Five at his feet, a New Day!"

Finally, written in larger capitalized letters and circled several times are the words "THE FIVE".
