Summary of beliefs.

Date	Summary	Link
449-09-36 Jul 28, 2024	Valenal was first spotted in the Crossing Empath Courtyard. He appears nervous and socially awkward, and struggles with social cues. He seems to be knowledgeable about complex magical and metaphysical concepts and believes that there is a dangerous energy imbalance in the Plane of Abiding. He claims that energy is being stolen from the plane in small, discrete amounts thanks to non-sorcerous magic. This outflow is causing magical oddities and worsening effects, and at this rate of drain there is a potential to "break everything." He warned those gathered to be wary of those who speak against sorcery, and urged them to stop whoever is behind the energy theft.	Log courtesy of Allye Log courtesy of Kethrai Log courtesy of Ayrell
