He has sent Hikari : His unorthodox, and Larissa frankly evil, research methods have tainted the work for many. Finding that the books were enchanted against many methods of destruction, some groups have sought to do hide the books because they either don't support his research methods, or believe the results to be offensive to the Lady in some way. They may have a bit point, since Vaeril was ultimately Mazed when he used an artifact to mind control thousands of field research Hive dwellers and focus their belief on changing Sigil for himhis experiments.* Larissa Karras - Cleric of Celestian and a Sensate. She talks : It is suspected that up to her god5 or 6 volumes were produced by Vaeril, literallybut only volumes II and III were copied and distributed until Vol I was located recently by an adventuring party.

Updated my journal. === 2015-12-30 - I'm at the bar, getting drunk! ===See [[Hikari]] and her 'friend' Larissa are sent to use an experimental new device to collect information on portal transit for Joran the wizard. After a scuffle in the Hive, they accidentally activate the device and enter an unknown portal. (SPOILER ALERT: It led to [[Datha]].) After encountering a bear, the two run out of the area and head north, lucking upon an old road, and then a small village where... [[Jaxson]] and his new friend Grodd are heading east into [[Datha#The_Realm_of_EzethaePlanescape_Chronicle|Ezethae]] (not into the city proper, the guards might recognize Jaxson!) and to a monastery that Jaxson favors for their excellent beers and wines. At a tavern on the way, Jaxson cons a merchant into purchasing a Snipe from him. A gnome, [[Marby Fizzlesprocket]], comes down from her room and the three most interesting people at the bar get to talking. Marby displays a wink wink nudge nudge interest in going to the nearby [[Datha#The_Cobalt_Forest|Colbalt Forest]] where she thinks she may be able to find some rare magical reagents. At this point, two women enter the tavern, one of them, the one with fox ears and nine tails, starts asking about portals and cities full of doors. After a bit of convincing, Jaxson, Grodd, and Marby agree to go into the forest with them to help sort out this bear at least, and see what happens. So, instead, they all set out to sample the monastery's production. Abbot Norry greets Jaxson in the shrine to Ajahn, and takes them to the taphouse. After selling the group some alcohol and drinking a round with them, the abbott has to get back to work, and the group heads south into the forest to see if they can run off or kill this bear.  [[Characters_(Pendragon)#The_Ursine_Brotherhood|Hey wait, is this a callback or something?journal]] === 2015-12-16 - Initial session ===Characters mostly created and preliminary information discussed.
