[[Allum]]'s ghost was said to have roamed [[M'riss]], poisoning people, until the charm was destroyed by the citizens of Qi, though I cannot speak with any personal experience regarding that. It is said, however, that [[Sallador]] paid [[Althiras]] for his work by giving him a ship known as Slohekepi, translating to Blood Sea in the S'kra language."

	[[Ayrell]] says, "Once my mind was made up, I began to actively seek a private meeting with [[Jack]], to which I was surprised to discover [[Jack]] was more than amenable to acquiesce. His familiar, a sleek leopard, found me at the altar in [[Ratha]] near [[Ydris]]'s grave and invited me to meet him on [[Taisgath]]. When I arrived, I found [[Jack]] there, casually cleaning his weapons and appearing as if he had not a care in the world."

	[[Ayrell]] says, "Gathering my courage, I decided not to dance around the point and went straight for business.

	[[Ayrell]] says, "Throughout the conversation, [[Jack]] put his cleaning cloth away, and I was stunned to observe him using the colorless flame of his magic to finish the cleansing of both his yataghan and his jambiya. Although I have witnessed the use of [[blackfire]] on several occasions in my life, I had never before seen it utilized for such a mundane task, though it spoke a great deal of his control over this magic, leaving no doubt in my mind as to how dangerous an adversary currently stood before me."

An associate of such names as [[Grishnok]] and [[Jomay]], as well as earlier associations linking him with [[Sidhlot]] and [[Sithsia]]. On one occasion during the Outcast war, I still recall finding myself abducted by him, suffering a rather unpleasant death that will forever haunt me."

	[[Ayrell]] says, "As for other details of him, his presence is known to be preceded, at times, by a poisonous green fog, and he is able to tear off his own fingers to cause scourges to appear. Additionally, he is known to possess a raven familiar quite famous for speaking in riddles and rhymes. For any who have found themselves wandering the [[Necropolis]] in [[Aesry]] Surlaenis'a, you may have even seen his headstone there. Stating him to have been born 199 years after the Victory of [[Lanival]] the Redeemer, his death listed as 225 AtV."

	[[Ayrell]] says, "[[Velmix]] is important to this story because this group's supposed involvement with him was one of the primary reasons they became such a point of interest for this collection of information. In the year 356, [[Velmix]] was known to be recruiting elves to form an army he claimed was to serve "The One and True King," assumed to be a reference to [[Teiro, himself. As you can imagine, an effort to build an army for a dead man certainly has a way of raising a few eyebrows."

I left the area for some time to meditate on everything I had seen and experienced throughout the battles we endured and the loss of our beloved Ferdahl [[Kukalakai]]. After a few years, a missive arrived advising me of [[Fierolan]]'s resignation from the Ilithi Mountain Guard to take on the position of Consul for Her Majesty, Queen [[Morganae]], in Shard. I was offered to take his place as Commander, an honor of which I was more than happy to accept, and sent word of my immediate return, only to then fall ill a few days later and left unable to make the journey."
