The Diary of Vicross is the journal of Vicross, but it seems to have been cut, as I can't find any reference to it?

Written in the surprisingly sloppy hand of the ex-autharch Vicross, leader of the defunct Order of Eight Staves, this diary contains a wealth of information to peruse at a later date. A passage related to Neera stands out:

"Gross day. Wind and dust storms. Izer, the messenger, brought bad news: Ekandor's quarry, the half-elf Neera, eludes him still. The way the letter describes her terrifies me. It's not that she's particularly dangerous. There are more powerful wild mages, and while she has taken up with what Ekandor describes as an 'impressive' band of adventurers, I'm confident the Order will bring her to heel. No, dear diary, that's not what scares me about Neera. It's that I hear what Ekandor tells me, read the transcriptions of what Neera says, and know a terrifying truth with absolute, dreadful certainty. If I'd been born in the High Forest and not Thay—if I'd been banished and forced to scrape by—if I'd sought to live with my wild magic instead of learning to control it, as I've almost, almost, ALMOST done, well—I could have been her.

P.S. I need to hire a new messenger. One of my surges got Izer."
