The Diary of Sarevok

This article contains information about the plot and storyline and if you aren't far enough in the game and don't wish to have twists in the storyline ahead spoiled, it's not adviced to read the article until then.

The diary of Saverok contains information about his role in the Iron Throne, how he tries to achieve his dream of  godhood, about his mother and his 'father', Rieltar and more things. He started writing this diary about three years before the start of the game. This diary is found when the protagonist kills Cythandria and finds this diary in her possessions at the fourth floor of the Iron Throne establishment in Baldur's Gate. It has a weight of 2 lbs and can be sold to merchants for 250 gold, but it's not adviced to do so, because this one of the three items needed in the main quest.

In-game text of Saverok's Diary
"Diary"

"14th of Eleint, 1367: Today Cormyr has instituted a ban against the Iron Throne from operating within their borders. While this is a great blow to the Iron Throne, it is the perfect opportunity for Rieltar to approach the Iron Throne high counsil with his proposal. If things go well, we could begin the operation within the year."

"25th of Marpenoth, 1367: Davaeorn has sent a message to Rieltar, informing him that the mines at Cloakwood have been drained and are ready for use. This revelation should help greatly in convincing Throne high counsil."

"2nd of Nightal, 1367: The Iron Throne council has agreed to support Rieltar's plan. He has been given all resources he needs, as well as leadership of the project. I have expressed interest to my 'father', and he had promised to include me within the operations along the Sword Coast. He mentioned mother in our conversation: how I wasn't to be unfaithful to him as she had. He made it clear that I would suffer her fate if I was. His threats are weak and hollow, and I have decided to take the time to make my visit to Candlekeep. I have waited long time to research the prophecies of Alaundo, and I must know if the dreams speak the truth. I will not believe the words of phantoms without proof, and the Priest of Bhaal I confronted gave me nothing. He was old and died quickly in my grasp. If  the words are true, I shall surely groom stronger acolytes than this."

"11th of Ches, 1368: My research has gone well. The monks here at Candlekeep have been quite helpful. From what I have read, It would seem certain that the blood of Bhaal does indeed flow through my veins. His prophecies are (of course) ambiguous, but I think I understand them. He foresaw his coming death, and seeded his essence across the lands. The children born as a result bear the marks of chaos, have power with no direction, and shall feel the blood of a god within them. The deathsthey bring shall awaken the father, and through them he will rise. It does not explicitly say, but obviously this means that death wrought by the children will cause them to ascend. Fitting, and since the father was the Lord of Murder, proving one's worth must involve an act of in accordance to with his portofolio. I begin to see what I must do. Death on a god-like scale."

"3rd of Tarsahk, 1368: The monk Gorion troubles me. He seems to have taken an interest in my readings. I must be careful to be more clandestine in my research. I wish I could simply kill him, but I doubt I could safely murder him within this damnable library."

"11th of Tarsahk, 1368: I had a dream this night. My mother was talking to me, but as she did her face became bloated and discolored. Her voice became weary as she spoke to me, telling me to save her from Rieltar. I could see the garrote cutting into her neck, but I did nothing. It was only a dream."

{{Quote|27th of Tarsahk, 1368: I take leave of Candlekeep now, and not a moment too soon, for I am sure that Gorion has perceived my heritage. One thing I am certain of: protagonist
