The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Lord Alric, please find the group's assessment of the necroseismic event that the locals call “The Withering.”

The people of Fellhollow are not well-equipped for the contamination. They have grown soft through their freedoms, and have mostly resorted to panic. We are the only ones studying and measuring the effects.

It is our belief that the subcontinent of Fellhollow will be entirely contaminated in the next two weeks. It spreads at a significant rate, roughly a hectare a day, and is only slowed or halted by mountains and bodies of water.

By our calculations, the size and breadth of the Dowdun Mountains should protect us. We would like to emphasise “should” here: there is a risk that waterways and crevices in the rock may lead to intrusions. We mean intrusions in the broadest sense: the effects of the Withering, necromantic incursions and unwanted refugees.

It is our recommendation that all efforts are made to seal Dowdun Reach. We should be focused on removing these opportunities for intrusion. All connecting pathways to the subcontinent of Fellhollow should be severed.

We should also post knights to the crypt. It will be our canary in the mineshaft. If the dead rise there, we will know that the Withering has breached.
