I apologize for being so far behind on the diaries, but I posted shorter synopses so the gist of the story is at least there.
If you liked this Chronicle, you may also enjoy reading some of the related fiction in the Fiction, Funnies, and Songs section of this site.

Credits: Melisandre's letters are written by Marce Connor; Constanza's letters and diary are written by Sophie Lagacé; Ferdinand's letters are written by Ken Grey; other letters and in-game props are written by the GM, Edmund Metheny; © 1999-2004.
It would be nice to have these stories told from different perspectives, so the fact that there is already a summary of a section of the story should in no way deter players from writing a different account. Note that some material is entirely missing because the characters from which point of view the chronicle was written were not aware of these events. I'm thinking in particular of Lucas's Los Vagos involvement and Juan's contacts with Die Kreutzritter, but there are also a lot of other items I'd like to see added; for example, the bit where Juan, Vlad, and King Sandoval fought off Porté'd monsters, and the episode where the heroes assisted Stefan von Heilgründ in his problems with kobolds.
