Note #9: The Overseers.

They too have fallen farther into corruption. High overseer Campbell was already a posh guy, but now corruption has spread further and grown much more rampant throughout their religious sect. The overseer's magic blocking devices have also grown stronger. I fear they'll soon erect giant temples and halls that block the power of the outsider and the void with huge organs cranking out that evil music, but for now it's just music boxes.

Still the existence of power and the void over the years has gotten me to further question what exactly the outsider is and where his power comes from. When there was no way to manipulate his power or grow stronger it was simply magic, but with runes and bone charms as well as Pierro's compound now here it seems the void's power is more natural philosophy and science, not just magic. While the overseers shy away the key seems to be to follow the path of Sokolov and master the power. But I am marked so I have the advantage. It seems as though my power can be strengthened by electromagnetic pulses as much as repressed by the music. I don't know how or why, but certain frequencies tend to enhance my link to the void as they grow me stronger. I'm working on strengthening my power and possibly pulling Corvo into the void and away from his death, or at least forcing a meeting with the Outsider to finally take place.

Whatever the case I will continue my work and see what I can do. This era of change seems disastrous, but maybe I can take advantage of it and grow stronger. Only the river of time will tell me so.
