An ornate, leatherbound sketchbook

[Evanthe]

[The first few pages are filled with little doodles, sketches of random things: a hand; a mana thistle bloom; nightmare vine; various birds.]

[Evanthe]

[This page contains a quick sketch of a Sin'Dorei male- long hair, no facial hair- riding a wolf. There is a very large spear across his back and he is smiling.

There is a note scribbled across the bottom: Repaint- need more oil; arthas tears for pigment ]

[Evanthe]

[This page has a detailed drawing of an Eclipsion Dragonhawk, done in pencil. There are extensive notes on proper color usage. ]

[Evanthe]

There are several notes written across the page: Runes; desperate- an opening; warlock's name?; return page ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a meticulous reproduction of a very ornate rune.

There are notes on the bottom: Recipient unable to speak or write any lie to a warlock. Note: recipient can still choose not to answer, or not to tell the whole truth. ]

[Evanthe]

[This page is blank.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a rendition of a Sin'dorei, wearing heavy armor and the tabard of the Blood Knights. His face is obscured by a mask; only his eyes are showing. He is heavily shadowed.

There are notes written across the bottom: Silvermoon, again. warning? connection to Nymare? Secret-secret. ]

((This is so neat. ^^))

[Evanthe]

[This page contains a sketch of a Sin'Dorei adolescent, wearing rags. Particular detail is put into his left hand, which contains a replica of the rune contained earlier in the book. The background appears to be that of Lower City.

These notes are written across the bottom: Success when carved into the skin]

[Evanthe]

[Evanthe]

[This page contains a list of items under the heading Items found damaged : assorted brushes, two easels, various canvases, dress forms, various pieces of furniture, curtains, dishes, vintage bottles of wine, etc. It appears to be a fairly comprehensive list, yet created in a hurry.

There is a small sketch in the left hand corner of a gnome. There appear to be multiple wounds, possibly from a dagger or sword. The word Tiggle is printed underneath.


Across the bottom of the page is written: Looking for the page]

[Evanthe]

[This page contains a sketch of a make-shift camp. There are two male Sin'Dorei, each sitting on an opposite side of a campfire. Most detail is given to the one on the left- he has rugged features, is wearing light armor, and is fiddling with a cross-bow. The male on the right of the campfire has his hair pulled back and appears to be working on some sort of armor.]

[Evanthe]

[This page contains sketches of various creatures found around the coasts of Tirisfal Glades- crabs, bats, hounds. There is a strong focus on sketches of birds.

Scrawled amongst the sketches are the following words: searching again; no new signs; revenge for Tig]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a quickly done sketch of a Sin'Dorei male. Very lightly printed in underneath is the word: Skafloc. There is a very faint heart drawn around this.

Along the rest of the page are various sketches of the carrion birds, hyenas, and scorpions of Tanaris. None is particularly detailed.

Across the bottom of the page are the words: hate waiting]

[Evanthe]

(( aww cute picture XB))

[Skafloc]

(( Fel! My pants are tight! Also, I think it was Izrail ( or was it Clys) who pointed out we are all dressed to match our hair color. ))

[Lovely]

((Wow, what a good lookin' family! hehe))

[Evanthe]

[Especially the girl on the left. ;) And yes, we all did match our hair color at least a bit. Except Lovely. Learn to assimilate. :p]

[Izrail]

(( Fel! My pants are tight! Also, I think it was Izrail ( or was it Clys) who pointed out we are all dressed to match our hair color. ))

((It was me. ^^))

[Evanthe]

[This page contains a sketch of a Sin'Dorei male, lying on a bed. There are boxes, bolts of cloth and dress forms around him. He appears to be asleep or drugged. There is a dark-haired Sin'Dorei standing next to him, wearing a skimpy dress. She has a crazed look in her eye and is laughing. There is a sketch of a bloodthistle leaf in the corner.]

[Evanthe]

[The next few pages are covered in various half-finished sketches: dragonhawks, various herbs, random Sin''Dorei, a couple trolls, a nether-ray, a few owls and other birds, a female demon with six arms. There is only one peice of writing: The Book of Fel Names.]

[Evanthe]

[There is a close up of a dark-haired Sin'Dorei's face. It is drawn with unusually heavy strokes. Under the face is printed: Videlle ]

[Evanthe]

[This page has a several sketches of a foresaken male. In one, he is bouncing. In another, he is hitting a felhunter with a staff. In the final one, he is chewing on the end of the staff, looking at a nearby wolf. There are several words written around the pictures: purrtiful, Ironforge, jumping, erratic, mushrooms?, fear of animals/demons?, "Shadow", gone. At the bottom of the page the following words are written, in a different ink than the rest: disapeared after the ceremony, Kiki- eyes ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there are several sketches of two male Sin'Dorei, sometimes embracing, sometimes standing side-by-side, one of them kissing. One of the sketches of them embracing is circled. ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a sketch of a netherray. Underneath the picture is written: Sorwen ]

[Evanthe]

[There is a sketch on this page of a handsome Sin'Dorei male with long hair and rugged features. He is smiling and pointing to a scorpid. The scorpid is drawn with much less care than the elf.]

[Evanthe]

[The top half of this page contains a sketch of an owl, flying through what look like Kal'Dorei buildings. The bottom half contains a detained sketch of a two-story fountain inside a building with Kal'Dorei architecture. There are bodies of Kal'Dorei women on the ground around the fountain. ]

[Evanthe]

[The next few pages contain sketches that contain much less detail than the others in the book, as if they were drawn in a hurry.

The first of these pages contains a sketch of a foresaken male and a Sin'dorei female crouched on what appears to be a floating rock. There are three other Sin'Dorei surrounding them, although no details are given beyond a rough outline of their forms. The two in the center are heavily shaded, almost as if surrounded by shadows. On the side is a small map of the southern edge of Terrokar forest; one of the floating rocks is circled.

The second of these pages contains a quick sketch of a Tauren, standing infront of a small tent. The words Creator; Lo are written next to it.

The third of these pages contains several sketchs; the first of a Sin'Dorei with extensive damage to her throat area. The second is of a sobbing dark-haired Sin'Dorei girl next to a male Sin'Dorei. The third is a sketch of another dark-haired female's face, her features having a mix of Sin'Dorei and wolf-like properties. Her lips curled in a snarl. The following words are written around the pictures: Eclipse; highborn; Videlle; Wolves; worgen?; Jazziks; silly boy; Sinaku; runes; Tamorra? ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a sketch of a tree, covered in tiny flowers. On the bottom of the page the words "Dies iræ, dies illa
Solvet sæclum in favilla." are written.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there are several small sketches and doodles: a spiral, a half-formed torso, three pairs of eyes, a dragonhawk hatchling, feathers, some random lines. There is a large inkblot in the center of the page. ]

[Evanthe]

[ This page contains a simple drawing of two ovals, along with the word: Silithus ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page there is a sketch of a female Sin'Dorei with light colored hair pulled back from her face. The words Saturna?, Xenaken are written underneath.]

[Evanthe]

[This page is mostly filled with aimless scribbles and scrawling lines. At the very bottom right corner there is a detailed sketch of a carion bird with the words Vultures. Every last one. underneath.]

[Evanthe]

[This page contains several depictions of various birds. In the center there is a heavily detailed drawing of a Kaliri. It is circled.]

[Evanthe]

[A note card from the Silvermoon Inn is stuck between the pages. On it is drawn an orchid. There are a few small smudges around the sketch, as if beads of water spilled across the surface.]

[Evanthe]

[A sheet of paper is wedged between the pages here. The handwriting is different from the rest in the book.]

I know I have failed you. There is no excuse. I know that now. I should have resisted harder. I should have chosen Izrail. I should have never left Netherstorm and stayed there until I found you. I should have never despaired.

If you never forgive me, I will understand. But that will not stop me from loving you.

This sand, from a time when we were the most happy...

[Evanthe]

[This page has been heavily shaded. The form of an undead male can be made out in the shadows. He appears to be standing on a platform of shadowy tendrils.]

[Evanthe]

[A sheet of paper is wedged between the pages here.]


My Dearest Evanthe, my Love, my Wife;

I sat at the foot of our bed all night waiting and praying that you would come to me. Your favorite night dress is laid out on your pillow. I have some warm tea ready to be ordered at your whim.

The rising of the the sun this morning was eclipsed by the sinking of my heart when you did not arrive.

I know you feel you are sparing me hurt by trying to distance me from you. But what you are doing is in fact hurting more than anything I can imagine in this or any world. Please, do not fear that your pain and sorrow cannot be my pain and sorrow. Let me share it with you. That is what I promised to you when we wed. That is what I want to do, what I need to do. That is the driving force in my life. You are the driving source in my life.

I cannot know all that you are feeling, what exactly the pain and anguish you are feeling is, such that it is enough for you to run from me. I have asked you many times to confide in me. If not me then who? Nobody will ever love you as much as I. There is nothing you can tell me that would change that. Nothing.

Not long ago on our beach on our little island in the sun you told me that you would be lost without me. What I didn't tell you is that I too am lost without you. The time you were missing was proof of that. The nights you have been gone of late is proof of that.

We are lost together.

Please.. come home.

I love you.

Your Love, your soulmate, your husband, Your one and true Skafloc.

[You should change that. More rps please.]

[Evanthe]

[A piece of paper is wedged between the pages here.]

Dear Evanthe,

I hope this will actually find you. Maybe I've lost my mind even attempting to write something meaningful. Maybe none of it even matters, but I have to try, right?

I've thought about you a lot, I think about you a lot. Is that the sign of a good little Maithanet? Do you even care? I care about you. I know this and I can't even think right.

I'm an adventurer at heart. I go to the deep dark places of the world and before I only attempted to escape so Imalar and I could continue to be a team. But now I have a second reason - you. Life with me isn't easy I know; but I hope that you realise now I'm not in this for a game. I'm in this for you.

Silly boy? Pity? A fool? Maybe. But if nothing else, a fool for you.

Maithanet.

[Szordrin]

(Damn. This just gets juicier... >.>)

[Ninorra]

((X_X Holy f'ing skejfdnwkejfnkqwd!!))

[Conley]

(( Oh wow, Conley WAS hitting a nerve. ))

[Fynne]

(I'm so offended. Evanthe just throws out all of 'my' love notes instead of stuffing them in her book!)

[RavenReverend]

(( *cries* All of my favorite TN couples are busting up! *sobs* THIS IS WORSE THAN WATCHING FRUITS BASKET! WAAAAHHHHH! *cries and goes to slit her wrists*))

[Kethryvaris]

[[holy hell.]]

[Evanthe]

[A piece of paper is tucked between the pages here.]

Good Morning My Love;

I slept last night for the first time since you left. Last eve I ran into your druid friend Imalar. I do not know if it was the soft and soothing tone of his words or some geis he placed upon me but I went home and collapsed upon our bed. I can easily see why he is such an inspiration to your wonderful art.

I awoke early this morning to the sounds of birds chirping in the gardens. A family of doves have nested in the fruit trees and the eggs hatched sometime in the past few days. Perhaps later today I shall go to find where they have nested and watch them

I shaved this morning, something I haven't done for as long as I wasn't sleeping. I know how you hate the scratchy feel of my face when I forget.

Today is for house cleaning. I am going to pay attention to the many things that we have put aside over the past few months. First on my agenda is that awful tapestry you despise in the main hall. Yes, the one that holds the scene from Silithus and the scorpids. I am going to take that down and have Chauncey arrange for a funeral pyre for it.

I wish you could be there to watch as it goes up in glorious flame.

The staff are already busy with sweeping and scouring the stains left over from winter, yes those are still in the main halls. Again, things I have neglected while ... well while you were gone and since your return.

I also will have to take shovel to the yard and fill in the many holes that Wotan has dug in his boredom. I really need to get him out more often. It is a sin for the old fellow, so much life still in him and no outlet for it. Perhaps after cleaning I shall take him out for a ride in the country. We will run and hunt just like we used to. I think he will like that.

Tonight I am going to do some touch up work on a carving I made a long time ago. Remember I told you that I did wood carving? I have not touched my tools in over a year now. It is time I started that again I think.

I pray that your night was restful and peaceful. Give my regards to Broxigan if you see him.

I love you and miss you. I will always be here for you.

Your husband Skafloc.

[Kyrion]

((Very sweet ))

[Evanthe]

To the whorelock with a fatal distaste for fel,

Having spent the past weeks withdrawing into a void of your own making, the lack of opportunity to rebuff my presence assuredly only deepened your despondent situation. As always, only my best intentions align in this, what of your tendency for old bones with your recent estrangement? My, how the rabble would talk of teacher-pupil scenarios.

Certainly we both know better than to make superficial the thoughts and desires held by those such as we. Yet at some point I must question your faculties when attempting to gouge out your sight with knives rather than the willful imposition of the mind upon the lids of your eyes. While you sink yourself into drowning depths, here rest I in the crushing darkness of the abyss, fathoms deeper than roves the jaws and fins which terrify those lost at sea, where no Light penetrates the primordial scene.

What reason have I to seek you out? For you know that I am capable, even now should I wish it, of slithering down upon you from the very coils of darkness with which you have wrapped yourself to suffocate the light away. Enough of this activity beneath your position; you could not abide by fel frivolity, neither shall you abide by this. Bring forth your shadowy brilliance, envelope yourself not in the choking tendrils of the void to be brought low into darkness, rather send them forth as your messengers and tools to choke that which would stand in your way.

You know where to find me. I have taken you there before, but can you make the journey alone? I am here, Evanthe, with my hand out-stretched and open. Take my hand, and I shall teach you to do what thou wilt.

Sabachthan Pendazr

[Pearlle]

((gods, you gotta love the bad boys...))

[Evanthe]

[There is a sketch of a raven haired Sin'dorei stuck between the pages here, it's style markedly different from the other sketches in this book. On the back is several lines of smugged writing; ...must not happen the only legible line.]

[Evanthe]

[On the top corner of this page is a quickly created sketch of a dwarven door. The balance of the page is taken up with a detailed drawing of a Sin'Dorei couple standing on a cliff edge. The following words are written underneath: last name; soul split; who could I ask? ]

[Evanthe]

[On this page is a highly-detailed sketch of a raised white stone platform surrounded by a forest of purple and pink leaves. There's a swirling green portal on top of the platform. Two Sin'Dorei stand in front, a blonde male and raven-haired female. The word Dawnbringer is signed underneath. In the lower right-hand corner the words nightmare?, Im-- are written faintly.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page is a sketch of a worm with the word Baron printed across the drawing. Below this is a quickly-sketched outline of a hunched undead.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page is a cartoon-style sun, colored a dark black.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page are three small, seperate scenes, hastily drawn.

The first is a caricature of a female Sin'dorei with pale hair. "...he was right for you..." is written underneath.


The second is of a tower; a small, hunched figure can be seen within.


The final sketch is of a small pearl choker.]

[Evanthe]

[On this page is a detailed sketch of the inside of the Legerdemain Lounge, focused on a table in the center of the room, with the bar behind. A Human male with long, light hair sits at the center, his lids lowered as if drifting off to sleep. To the left sits a female Sin'dorei with dark, wavy hair, glaring at the human. Off to the right, somewhat removed from the scene, stands a male Sin'dorei with pale hair and heavy armor, a female Dwarf in flowing robes and a female Gnome with her hair pulled up in twin buns. At the bar a male Sin'dorei with his hair pulled back is peering over his shoulder at the table. The word poison is written below the sketch.]
