Record of the 20th day of the month XXX year 1XXX Stormhammer chambers of the venerable Capablanca, the archmagus Robert Guillier.

It was quite difficult to be interrupted during such a beautiful experiment as the one I was performing, a harmony of colors that would give the sunsets a mixture of natural beauty with a kaleidoscopic image that would enhance the good values of the city, only a few small adjustments were needed, the runes were solemnly projected into the air, when something hit me, at that moment everything began to turn blue depressive, the sensors of my shield immediately tried to identify the problem, But no one had entered the Storm Hammer, they had no reason to do so, in this city we wizards are people who are committed to helping those around us, to returning some of the comfort that was lost after the great battles of the elves, I am still sure today that if we had been given a little time to chat, this would not have come to so much, but I understand them for being one of the oldest and most powerful races, so what was it? And most importantly, where did it come from?

Just as I started to call my students, the communication came from the Emergency Viewer, since we mages cannot leave our homes, we use constructions similar to the portals used by the elves on a smaller scale, we have the receiver/emitter of each of our own, each city has one, so in case of an emergency we all support each other, apparently this was the highest ranking member of the Caparojas, since we never spoke to each other face to face, only our apprentices used this means of communication, to pass on secrets I guess, no matter, none of my research was closed to the public, his face is strange, angular and olive complexion, his city is a few months away, so he must be using a repeater, maybe the bloody coin receiver, a warlike child who has kept everything under an arms race, a sigh to calm down and see what the "great" Caparoja wants.

The image is a bit blurred, it is to be expected, their branch of magic, the Caparojas only live to create complex battle runes, which are useless because they cannot be used out of reach, but they prepare them (according to them, for when they are needed), but I must admit that they are the first to rediscover the complex branch of scrolls that store magic, We have some scrolls that contain small protective runes but their magic lasts less than three days outside the magic field, they are not very useful but they are used to travel between cities so I consider them a success, theirs only handle fireballs and some lightning, limited to a day or two, still I do not trust them because they only seek destruction, proof of this is such a bad image for not investigating the base technology that provides them.

After yelling at me a little (or talking loudly, with him you can't tell) I manage to understand a little of his arguments, apparently there is a very powerful wizard in a radius of fifteen cities, eight of them with first level wizards and three archmages (among which I am) the signal put into action several magical alarms in the cities, but it did not happen to major, except for those who had prepared attack runes on the borders of their cities, there all the runes were activated and launched their contained magic on a single site, which places this magician as a threat and triangulating we can locate it near the ancient temple of the dwarf king, dead only three hundred years ago and that created a city inside the mountain located in my borders and Bloody Coin.

This is important, but not for the reasons revealed by the Caparoja leader, we have to talk to this person, convince him to work for humanity and the magical species that today more than ever need the support of those of us who have the ability, even when I hear him say words like "risky" "deadly" "preventive actions" I ignore him, people like the Caparojas only see enemies where I see allies, the dwarves who live here know it, My dream is to work for all this, I call the secretary and give orders to send the mages of levels five to seven to investigate, they go with orders to talk to him despite what the Caparoja says, I know he listens to me because I did not interrupt the conversation, even if I howl what I want, I will not go to war because someone is more powerful than me.

Records of the 20th day of the month XXX, year 1xxx Storm Hammer, Boardroom.

Mages of level seven and above, as secretary and confidant of leader Capablanca I give the following instruction, all of you must go heavily armed to the place on the map that I have indicated, an entity of great evil has appeared that with a power not seen in the past threatens the existence of the peaceful city of Storm Hammer, as our leader is merciful, it must be subdued and brought to his presence to interrogate it and determine if it will be killed or just taken prisoner, remember! We are an institution of peace! Let us prevent war from brewing, let us destroy this threat! That is all, you are dismissed, I call upon the three level nine mages to ensure the defense.

Gentlemen, you and only you know that we are four people with a power close to Bobby's stupid, but still we must not trust, one of you will go with the committee, if you are killed (because you will be) the seals of some particularly destructive magic that I have prepared with the help of the Red Caps will be released, use them, It is necessary that no one is more powerful than Caparoja, our "leader" is no one, he has no authority here, if we eliminate the threat, we will receive many useful runes with which we can finally eliminate this senile old man and lead the Capablancas into an era of bright future, which will include an accession of the Caparojas and any imbecile who opposes us.
