Madman's Journal

Madman's Journal is a book written by the Elven Madman found in the Watcher's Keep Teleport Maze.

“

The journal is thick and filled out with various entries that are, at first, legible elvish... relating the writer's horror at being trapped in the maze and his frustration at the fact that even retracing your steps through a portal you have just traveled through will not lead you back to the area you just came from. The writer is obviously morose and guilty over abandoning his dead comrades, and his writing suffers over time... slowly degenerating into mad scribbles, paranoid ramblings about demons, and wild, repeated references to "Yakman" written all over the journal.

Only once does the mad scripture give way to a clear section, some form of poetry which may be some manner of directions... or may be nothing more than drivel.

"I stand in the room that shows the way,
and I must get out of here.
I flee towards the rising sun
to find the pillar of stone is near."

"I continue from there as I began
and with the demon speak.
He bids me south to journey onward,
to run and not be weak."

"South until the obelisk I find,
with runes on every face.
The setting sun draws me on, then,
into its fiery red embrace."

"From there I flee to the coldest north
and lay down by the tree.
But even there the north still calls,
as to the north, I'm free."
