Captain Rainer's Journal is a lore scrap that is found near the top of the Silverthorn Castle. Players can find this journal one floor below the dragon at the very top of the castle, on top of a Dragonwilds:Makeshift Table.

Journal

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

Of all the horrors of the rising dead, none are quite so chilling as the enormous undead ogres that now roam the lands. While all the vile undead seem filled with a hunger they can never sate, these beasts have a hunger greater than any other, and a terrifying capacity to consume.

Some of the scouts first saw them near the village borders, trying to break through the barricades to gain entry. Ogres are terrifying at the best of times, even the peaceful refugees who settled here, and these are scarier still.

It’s like gazing up at a wall made of muscle, that wants, more than anything, to eat you alive. There is no malice behind their eyes. No cruelty. There is just emptiness and hunger and the understanding that you might be lunch.

What scares me most about these creatures, is that their undead nature defies the theories we’d been working under. Since it was the villagers who first began to change, we assumed that it must be something to do with the strange magic their dragon patron worked upon them. Since most of us had not undergone this so-called “Blessing”, we thought we were safe from this terrifying transformation.

Yet, these… zogres… throw that theory out the window. They received no blessing, so how can that be the source?

And if they can be affected, then surely so can we?

Perhaps that would explain why I’m getting hungrier, no matter how much I eat. If that’s the case… then we’re all doomed. Fellhollow will fall.
