Dear Diary,
It has been a while since I've written. The nights are getting longer as we approach the middle of winter. I have since been working in Lord Tiberius' castle as a maid. My mission is to make a detailed map of his castle's inner structure. The Guild depends on me for this. I hope I will not fail them. So far I have mapped out the servant quarters, but there is much more to explore. I haven't been in contact with the Guild for many a day, but I suppose they would be interested in the weapons area and if there are any escape routes or traps. Each night I walk a little further, although I realised that there are some areas with wards that prevent me from entering them. I wonder what is beyond those wards? It is a powerful monster? Or maybe a secret treasure room? It would be terrible if there were townsfolk being tortured. My mind riddles me so, which is why I have decided to write. It makes me feel at ease.
The castle is vast and it's corridors a complex setup. The walls are well built - protected from catapult projectiles and fire. Windows are rare, which makes it hard to find my way around at night. But I must wonder... when I complete the map, how am I supposed to get it back to the Guild? Surely a servant such as myself cannot leave easily. There are no birds. Perhaps a trip to the sewerage system is required? I cringe at the thought. Nontheless, I will ensure my mission is a success! I hope the Guild still remembers that I exist.
