Journals[]
Bjorn Seligsson’s diaries offer a deep, reflective, and sometimes cryptic view of his thoughts, experiences, and burdens. Here's a detailed breakdown of the entries:
Bjorn Seligsson’s Diary - 1[]
In the first entry, Bjorn speaks of his relentless pursuit of strength, hinting at a life focused on duty and responsibility. He acknowledges that his path has not been free from doubt but asserts that he will not end as a fool. The “nuisance” he mentions seems to refer to a persistent, possibly external force (maybe some nameless outsiders like us) that he believes will eventually confront him. Bjorn reflects on the past, mentioning the wise ones who built towers on islands to bring peace but now see that peace crumbling into chaos. Despite this, Bjorn feels a sense of duty to carry on, stating that he must fulfill a burden, possibly linked to an unnamed enemy or threat, to honor the nameless souls of the past. The sense of responsibility is strong in this entry, even as he accepts the cost.
Bjorn Seligsson’s Diary - 2[]
The second entry takes a more somber turn, as Bjorn describes a cursed place, with both himself and someone named Bastigor bearing the curse. He recounts a time long ago when a colossal fortress appeared suddenly, and the heavens shattered, leading to a great fall from grace. His people, once proud and mighty, fled in panic, but Bjorn (or his ancestors) remained behind, determined not to abandon the land or its people. From this, the people of Feybreak were forged, and they took a new throne, vowing to bear the burdens of their fall and their duty to the land. The entry suggests a deep connection to his heritage, and a resolve to rise above disgrace and accept the responsibility that comes with his people's fall.
Bjorn Seligsson’s Diary - 3[]
In this entry, Bjorn reflects on an ongoing battle against an unnamed force, one so powerful that even the combined efforts of a thunder dragon, celestial beings, and a noble paladin couldn't bring it down. The celestial beings encased the island in an eternal winter night to prevent its escape, and one of them, a paladin, split himself in two, vowing to never show mercy again. The dragon also disappeared, perhaps in response to some greater threat. Bjorn now wonders if his duty to guard this land is truly for the sake of duty or something else, revealing a hint of personal conflict and doubt, though he still remains bound to his role.
Bjorn Seligsson’s Diary - 4[]
The fourth entry brings a personal touch as Bjorn wonders about the daughter of Rayne’s blood, someone he feels he has wronged in the past. This individual was once a child at her mother’s breast, and Bjorn notes that she will not remember him. He reflects on his complicated relationship with her father, a man driven by different values than Bjorn, particularly when it came to duty and the past. Bjorn gave him a “final test,” which he later admits was a foolish and spiteful act. However, the man passed the test and was more principled than Bjorn had anticipated. Unfortunately, the man never returned, and the young ones who followed him were left leaderless, though Bjorn notes that the daughter has since taken charge and brought order. The entry suggests that, despite their differing paths, she has continued to uphold the mission to guard the tower, which Bjorn recognizes as a testament to her upbringing.
Bjorn Seligsson’s Diary - 5[]
The final entry delves into Bjorn’s reflections on the end of his journey. He contemplates what he would do if everything were to end and he were freed from his burdens. An old man nearing the end of his life, he considers that, despite his age, he would likely continue fighting until he falls to dust. He expresses a desire to see the vastness of the world and hints at the possibility of finding other warriors, implying that his quest for strength might extend beyond his current mission. There is also mention of an old ship, suggesting that he once sailed the seas and might do so again. Finally, he mentions Bastigor, perhaps a companion or ally, and contemplates finding a mate for it after dealing with the “nuisance,” hinting at a sense of closure or the end of a long struggle.
Overall Themes[]
Bjorn’s diaries portray a man driven by duty, responsibility, and an unwavering pursuit of strength. His reflections are often introspective, touching on themes of legacy, the weight of history, and the burden of leadership. While he is dedicated to his mission, there are moments of doubt and weariness, especially as he contemplates his own mortality and the long-standing battles he has fought. His complex relationships with others, such as the daughter of Rayne’s blood and the paladin, add depth to his character, revealing a man who is not only a warrior but also someone shaped by personal regrets and the passage of time. His bond with Bastigor suggests that he is not entirely alone in his journey, though the nature of their relationship remains somewhat mysterious.
