So here I am. I, Magus Nilrem, am now a member of The High Council of Pillar Dakhen. And it seems that I have already become the target of political intrigue. Today, I was contacted by a mysterious group of individuals known as: The Council in Shadows. The message they left me was a most puzzling one indeed, I seems I have somehow attracted the interest of an secret society. Who they are, what they want from me, or what they meant by 'The coming seasons will require [me] to wield the kind of power [I am] truly capable of' is not known to me at this time. I just hope that The Council in Shadows means well and respects the laws of Pillar Dakhen, if so, I will allow them to continue their activities and not pursue them in any way. In the mean time I have decided to focus my meditation efforts on attempting to divine what the future holds for Dakhen, who The Council in Shadows are, and what they want. However, now that I am a member of The High Council, I must put my duties as a councilor first and now meditate only in my free time. Should I be needed at a council meeting, I shall attend without fail. Some time after I received the short yet cryptic message from The Council in Shadows, my loyal underling, Deeds, told me of a speech given at Ancestors Square by someone I shall refer to in this journal as: The Nameless Revolutionary. The Nameless Revolutionary spoke harshly about The High Council and denounced it as nothing more than a group of noble overlords*. I hope that in the future, the actions of The High Council will make The Nameless Revolutionary see that we are not the evil overlords he thinks we are.

*For Dakhen's sake, I hope The Nameless Revolutionary is wrong, I doubt the intentions of my fellow councilors, especially that of Madame Katherine Greywind.
