6-4-2015: Discovered an interesting journal in Tringira, presumably written by the author of the age, whose name was Edward Tyndale. It includes an interesting passage which may aid in our discovery and restoration of other areas of the age, included below:
(From Edward Tyndale's Journal) "How ironic that I am held here like an animal, in my own age, in a cell intended for my enemies. But it is still more ironic that I have a linking book in my possession--a link to another location in this very age where I am held captive. As linking there from within this age is a clear impossibility, I now give up hope. I shall die here, mocked by my captors, my pride stolen from me."
The linking book mentioned has not been discovered, so it was likely removed by Edward's captors after his death. However, there is a slight possibility that he may have hidden the book somewhere in his cell, in which case we still may be able to find it.
6-21-2015: Discovered a strange mechanism beneath the floor of the main room of the library. We are investigating its purpose, but it seems to have been damaged. It appears that it was used to raise certain sections of the floor. Possibly some sort of security to protect the books--or something yet undiscovered.
7-16-2015: Restoration has recently been uneventful, and we are still sketching basic maps of the library. However, today we discovered another one of Edward's journals. It seems that the library was used to hold Edward's works and studies, so we have changed the permanent name to "Edward Tyndale's Library."
7-26-2015: We have completed initial maps of Eder Gahrahno, and will vote to advance to Phase 2 tomorrow.
7-27-2015: Unanimous vote to initiate Phase 2 of restoration of Eder Gahrahno. We expect to finish initial mapping of Nahtoka within the next week.
8-4-2015: Initial maps of Eder Nahtoka have been completed, and we will vote to advance to Phase 2 on Thursday, August 6th.
8-6-2015: Unanimous vote to initiate Eder Nahtoka's Phase 2 of restoration.
8-28-2015: We have made a major breakthrough in our restoration of Tringira! We have finally discovered the linking book mentioned in Edward's journal, which turns out to be a single page, similar to a Bahro stone. We have given it to a maintainer to test the stability, but will link make our link next week if all goes well.
9-4-2015: We have made our initial link to the new location in Tringira, and have begun the mapping process here. This section is much bigger, and is very beautiful. We can't wait to give access to eager explorers.
9-10-2015: Eder Nahtoka and Eder Gahrahno have been temporarily suspended because of lack of resources (namely, lack of members). We intend to shift our focus to the library and Tringira. With enough work we may be able to finish the restoration of both areas by spring of next year.
