Savin's Ledger
We have come into possession of a powerful orb and what appears to be a containment box for another artifact. Some of my companions seem to be of the opinion that this box is designed to contain the orb.
I do not share this stance for two reasons:
1. The ectoplasmic emanations that we encountered referenced two different objects, one of which was the Grotius Cube.
2. This is clearly an orb NOT a cube. Unless... No, even accounting for third order etheric convergent geometries this could not be considered a cube.
I would like to get the orb away from Voss so that I can examine the effects that magical shifts have had upon an item of artifact level power. So far Voss has not been forthcoming with the object, however. Typically one would expect a greater level of obedience and respect from a student.
As we continued through Steirhold, I noticed meta-lothic fractures in the stone. I assume these fractures are a side effect of the event that caused the Trench. The fractures appear to be of a Furloughian Divine nature though without my instruments I am reluctant to make a definitive call.
We reached the Trench that divided Sterihold. Fortunately there has a rope bridge that had been erected to allow the current Goblinoid residents to cross the gap. After dispatching the guards I noted that the bridge did not have a proper parabolic hang.
There appeared to be at least a 2.3% deviation from the expected gravitational effect. I can think of several causes for this effect:
1. A side effect of the magical field shift has lessened the effect of gravitational effects
2. A constant etheric updraft caused by residual energy from the formation of the rift.
3. Magically charged components inadvertently used in the bridge's construction.
4. Measurement inaccuracies. As I mentioned before, I am currently without my instruments. As a result, my observations are within the margin of error of the crude devices I am currently using.
Reluctantly, I accompanied my party away from this fascinating edifice and, after dispatching another group of Goblinoid guards, we came to an entrance into the second half of Steirhold.
I find my reduced evocative abilities a constant irritant. Not only are my measurements woefully incomplete, I am thwarted by obstacles that would have been but minor distractions before everything changed.
