War
Archaeus Fronte,
Stonefolk
The demons march closer day by day, hour by hour.
I know they will be here at Stonefolk soon, and we have little defense against their numbers, aside from the Hospitallers. I found a small notebook in this home that I now occupy, and I have decided to record important events in my life within, so that any heirs to my name may one day look back and recognize the family's legacy. I am ready to fight, to defend Stonefolk from obliteration. This battle will not go over easily, nor will the war. That mage, Rajaat, visited me earlier today. He had me swear to protect Jurai, as he believes that there may be a traitor in the Queensguard. I swore to him that I would not let her fall during this battle, that she would live on, with or without her kingdom. No harm shall come to my queen.
I was just informed of sighting of demons on the horizon, and I must go. If I may fall on this day, whoever may find this, make sure that Jurai knows that I -

Rilath
Archaeus Fronte,
Stonefolk
Two months after the end of the Demon War
There is great suspicion around Stonefolk that Rilath is planning an overthrow of Queen Jurai.
The Hospitallers have left his command, and have warned the Queensguard of his possible Treachery. I was recently accepted in to the Hospitaller force, as an initiate. Queen Jurai has left for a personal reason of which I was not informed. I hope she returns soon... I miss her. De'Falgo and Castras are training me well. General Liosathe has pulled half of our forces out of Stonefolk and headed North, to stronghold Arrowhead.
The Council

Stonefolk
Beginning of the Dark Elven Conflict
Stonefolk is now led by a council consisting of De'Falgo, John Castras, and I. I am a Hospitaller knight now, as I have completed my training. I will keep a log of what happens in this entry.
-Jurai is declared missing
-Rilath is executed by popular vote
-Knight-Commander Altin Cruado is now an ally of Stonefolk and her outreaches.
-Dark Elves are attacking caravans outside of Acre now, in organized raiding parties.
-Vote is suggested on declaring war, after Dark Elves claim responsible for Jurai's death.
-War is declared.
-Band of ten men are sent far, far northeast to the Wall of Heartstone, the outer rim of the Dark Elven stronghold.
-Thirty-Four new citizens have arrived.
-Food rations are running low.
-Food rations have been boosted.
-De'Falgo suggests a direct attack on the Wall.
-De'Falgo, Castras, Fronte, and Angeline penetrate the Wall, being pushed back almost immediately.
-De'Falgo is capured, Castras is executed, Fronte escapes, Angeline is executed.

January 21st
Devastation
Stonefolk
The empire is in Ruins. Jurai is gone, a new tyrant is in her place. De'Falgo deserted us and now fights for the Dark Elven High Lords. Because of this, Stonefolk is ashes. That bastard betrayed us, and I swear to all of the gods, old and new, that he shall pay for his crimes, and for his broken oath. Many have died in the war of the Dark Elves. Acre is the only remaining secure stronghold, the home of what remains of local Hospitallers. I am going to form -

Hospitaller Commander Archaeus Fronte
I can see the edge of civilization on the horizon. I should be there by nightfall, if nothing hinders my travelling. Perhaps I may find the stronghold of Iceblade, abandoned several years ago. If I do, I swear by any gods that exist, any that are worshipped, that I will rebuild. The Hospitaller force will not die.
