Corresponding Chapter: 35
Just snuck back from the Alienage, and I'm trying to look busy.
But it is time for an update.
I just learned of the monstrous deed that Loghain has condoned: slavery.
I knew something was wrong when I examined the Alienage, and I couldn't be more right.
The orphanage was haunted by a rage demon.
Poor Ser Otto; the demon killed him, the poor blind man, and we couldn't save him. We had to walk back through a bloody and grotesque orphanage. Children's' spirits whispered to us and small hands left cryptic messages in blood on the walls.
It was a place I was all too happy to leave.
But the horror didn't end there.
The Alienage claims that Blight sickness is plaguing its people, yet I find that hard to believe; Denerim is a long way away from Ostagar and other blighted lands.
However, I managed to feign this sickness and gain entrance to the alleged quarantine. Within, I found a note dealing with the amount of slaves needed and how many were left in the Alienage.
And there is no way that Loghain can be ignorant of such actions.
It is monstrous, utterly deplorable. How can a man let this happen? They are not creatures to be sold; they are people!
But that is a topic for another time.
This blood will not leave my hands.
Or maybe guilt weighs too heavily on my heart.
