25 Sunsebb, 590
Arrived at Hollowblade today. The place is a mess, the orcs have only half constructed the place. If we
were found today, we would all be doomed. Why did he send me here?

15 Fireseek, 591
The outpost is finally complete, and I just received word today of the nature of the experiments that I
have been promised. It will prove to be a challenge but one that is well worth the reward. the pens are
being constructed now and the first worg was captured today. A female, what luck.

7 Readying, 591
All is quite now as we await the birth of the first test. I am quite eager. The Baklunish man gave us
the necessary blood to make this work but I do not trust him. Anyone with that much power is not to be
trusted.

11 Flocktime, 591
Although many of the young have died and now two of the mothers, our first born still proves to be the
biggest success. The keepers have taken to calling him Bloodfang, I can’t imagine why. Soon we will begin
teaching him to hunt.

2 Reaping, 591
The hunts have gone well, nothing in this forest can withstand his might. I am sure we will have
another live birth soon. To have a pair of these would be a wondrous thing to behold. My master will be
very pleased.

8 Goodmonth, 591
It is amazing the rate at which Bloodfang has grown. It must be the demon in him. Nonetheless, he
hunts better than all of the normal worgs. Soon we will have to see how he hunts an elf or human perhaps.
That should prove quite amusing.

22 Ready’reat, 591
We were discovered. It must have been one of those annoying rangers. No matter, I have sent Bloodfang
after him. He will not escape. The baklunish manner returned with an even more potent gift. I am sure
that this will solve all of our problems. The keepers tell me that the female is very pregnant. Perhaps even
with four young. This could be the breakthrough we’ve needed.
