	We rafted the river and discovered that it had split into a northwestern and eastern route. These rafts remain, and I continue to explore the area. The western approach contained a blood-soaked cave housing a gigantic skeleton suspended on glaes chains. The eastern approach led us directly to a fortified encampment swarming with Gigas! We battered the barricade down and burst into a ruin similar to something Gamordi had described -- a place lost to the jungle known as Kragnek-Dzu. The ruins were of obvious dwarven design, though old, and abandoned. It appeared that the Gigas had made their encampment for invasion here in these ruins.

	We suffered heavily casualties at the hands of the Gigas on the promenades within the fortress, but recovered quickly. In exploring the fortress, we noted a deformed mithril anvil of substantial size in what appeared to be a rubble-strewn marketplace. The entire area was bubbling with pyroclastic rock and volcanic eruptions. Among them was a massive boulder of dark, glaes-veined basalt. ~~Climb~~ atop the boulder, I immediately realized it was draining the mana from the area. Spells fizzled, songs failed, magic of all forms seemed incapable of manifesting on the rock.

	We were immediately attacked by the boulders resident, an enormous fire giant taller than any I have faced. Wielding a scintillating obsidian claidhmore, he furiously assaulted our cohort. When slain, his body would melt into molten magma, sink into the boulder, and he would reform moments later healed and energized. Screaming praise to V'tull, and demanding blood for his god, he began to challenge our party to duels. Each of his defeats was brief and his renewal swift.

+I arrived to Teras Isle soon after the eruption. Locating a band of known adventurers, some members of my previous expeditions, I followed them to a battle raging outside the northern gates of Kharam Dhzu on the crossroads where Hog's Pen Tavern is located.  When I arrived waves of Gigas unlike any I had previously seen in the northern reaches of Elanith were being slain in waves by Jaired, Daenamaryllis, Vyrshkana, Doj, Deleu, Bwa, and Korgath. Blood soaked the roads leading to the city. The band was being led by a dwarf I had never met, and who introduced himself as Voregrek Borthuum, Prince of Kharam Dhzu.

	'''Oro''' (age approximately 26, birth date unknown) is a self-professed merchant from the farthest reaches of the North, claiming ancestry of the [[Wsalamir Arctic Clan]]. Friendly and verbose, the [[Giantkin]] is uncharacteristic of the stories of his people. He appeared in Eorgaen, 5112, in [[Icemule Trace]] -- recounting a long journey from the reaches north of [[Pinefar]]. Spending over a year travelling the cities of [[Elanith]], he proved a voracious study and student. He frequented the halls of the [[Elven Nations]], their libraries, and their workshops. His close confidant and friend, Nilandia Liserna, a sylvan mystic, empath, and scholar aided him in his education. In the year of 5113 he departed the southern cities of Elanith, saddled with new knowledge of the world, many treasures, and a caravan of goods. His expedition beyond [[Aenatumgana\|Mt. Aenatumgana]] was, he claimed, an effort to connect his people with the modern world. Ten years hence, much the way he had come, he returned in the month of Eorgaen, 5123. He scours Elanith for relics and artifacts of interest, lore, and ~~knowledge~~. To what end, remains unclear.

In Lormesta, 5124 he founded Oro's Expedition Company (OEC) through investments that had matured during his absence. Leveraging the reach and finances of the OEC he scours Elanith for relics and artifacts of interest, lore, and information. To what end, remains unclear.

Regrouping in King's Court we prepared to depart when Lady [[Cydris]] arrived, choking for breath and clearly shaken. Stricken by an intense thirst, we aided her in resting. With a racing heart beat, uneven breathing, and tremors she soon succumbed to a form of catatonia. Staring toward the southern docks, she murmured about "a light", "a woman", and the "sound of laughter". She rose to leave, but was impaired from doing so by those present at the time.
