Journal entries
''Certain adepts of Sich'al seem to have been transformed into what I might only consider a blob of flesh, bone and goo. Their mystical rites require the ingestion of poisonous brews, thought to help, I gather, pierce the mysteries of the gods. They've been promised divine transformation, and if this is a step in that transition, I pray I never come to know it.''

''They seem to amuse Xbelltz'aloc, for all of the creatures roaming these temple floors he seems to have made little to change to their original physical appearance. Teir illusions of becoming godlie, on the other hand, were squashed like so many insects being ground by a mortar in a pestle.''
