Warlocks Journal: 3rd Sepharil fragment
The Warlock's Journal is an interdimensional book that teleports from place to
place¸ recording knowledge in whatever location it finds itself. The places it
goes may be widely separated in time and space and even be in different dimensions
or alternate realities.
The handful of people who have actually seen the book more than once suggest that
it sends its information back to some central location¸ as they have seen the book
nearly filled with information¸ only to find it almost empty again¸ or filled with
completely different information¸ at some later point.
Of course¸ since there is no real proof that the book itself travels through time
in a linear manner¸ such analysis is speculation at best. What powerful entity
could have created such a marvel? Where is the ultimate repository (if any) of
the wealth of knowledge collected by the Journal in its roving¸ and is its creator
still waiting there¸ learning about the multiverse? It is¸ perhaps¸ better not
to know.

This PDF collects all entries to the 14th Warlocks Journal - 3rd Sepharil fragment - Nov 2014.
The Warlocks Journal is a contest that is hosted on several blogs/sites¸ each month it hops to a new host. The nature of each contest is up to the host as well as requirements etc. Each contest is compiled into a free PDF.
The 14th journal was hosted at Tinygork.com.
The contest was as follows:
Once again¸ the Warlocks Journal has found its way to Tiny Gorks workshop. I saw him flipping through it's pages a few hours ago and i do believe he was mumbling something about artifacts! Now i know that Tiny Gork is somewhat an expert on something known as the Shadow Council. What… you¸ you don't.. you have never heard about the Shadow Council ?
There once was… many fateful stories starts with these words and in this case it is no less true and yet it might still prove to be wrong. You know how sometimes things go awry between members of a group? Sometimes maybe even unfounded and based on misunderstandings or sheer paranoia? Well¸ i must be honest and lay it out right now that i cannot tell you which it was for this was a struggle between gods and cosmic powers. *
But¸ there once was a group of gods and powers that worked the planes as a sort of mercenary group¸ they could be hired by other entities¸ gods and otherwise influential beings and organisations in the planes. They were known as the Shadow Council and their pressence on the planes was a major factor in the whole political game of deities¸ gods¸ devils¸ demons and cosmic powers.
So here is what i believe the Journal is all about right now…
To shatter and absorb the Shadow Council and its powers¸ a former exiled member created a mighty artifact via powerful sources of Law & Chaos. When used the artifact shattered also and was scattered through time and realities. Across multiple planes and timelines the artifact was broken into seven pieces¸ lesser artifact onto themselves. *
Due to being created partly by the essence of Chaos these pieces tend to randomly teleport through time and space and take many different forms. The forces of both Law & Chaos are drawn to these fragments¸ some are even trying to re-forge the artifact as it is rumoured in some circles to be the most powerful artifact ever created.

One of the fragments was briefly in the custody of a TimeHunter who claimed to have found the piece hidden inside a song. Now mind you¸ it was not hidden within words on a page but in the physical manifistation of the song. It took an adventuring party singing the song at a specific site during a major event to mani
