(This is a notebook, the handwriting is hard to read, someone quickly took notes from someone talking fast, most probably Satho Cradfoot. Parts of the notebook is missing. At the top, it says: Year 77)

When I come with my brother in this part of the underdark, long, long time ago, there was only 2 towns, Grond and Udos. Udos was for the drows. No ones else can enter in. And Grond was for “the lesser races”, as the drows call everything none drows. Grond was lead by a Tyrant, elected by the Grond citizens. And Goblins have them caves too.. but was part of Grond.

Drows come in Grond and ask peoples tributes for Lolth and kill peoples on the central place for no reason without trouble. Bad time. I call it Bow or die time. We take control of Grond and kick Loth and drows out of there. After the war I give the Grond lead to Orogs who betrayed me and work for drows. I make him pays, and I take all the ressources and coins of Grond and help to build our town.

But, when I find the peoples here, the commoners, they was hostile to everybody, even with us. Only after a time they become passific with them kins and with us, and they ask our help. They always said: “help us agains the drows raids”. They talk about them kins slaves.

So we decide to protect us. It was hard cause some are outside in the spores forest close of the bridge. So we ask them to come and stay in town. And we intercept all the nones svirfs who try to enter in. But we have something peoples want. Marble, granite, iron and gems.

After I cut couples of heads, and fight and escort some out of our town, they stop to come. But remember, the only things stop them to come was the fear to loose them heads. Even time change, drows will always gone test us, some of them. If they can take something without ask it, they will

But, let’s hope we not gone have to fight again, now the commoners not hostile anymore to non svirfs. So we can let them come, always respect and follow the commoners will. That what I did from the start. And it give me the right to do all the bad things I have to do for keep our town safe.

When the Illithid attack Udos and Grond. For be honest: the Illithid war was the best thing can happen to us. They didn’t attack us, and they destroy Udos. But the drows was not able to enter in them town and reach certain part after this. They have to pass on the bridge in the forest and make hole in the jelly cave for reach them ruine town. I make deal with the drows at that time, cause they fear me and have to use the bridge for reach them town. So i let them walk and they not attack our town.

How I deal with the drows? Their nobles houses who always fight between each other for take the lead. So I try to find one of the house more open minded and good for our kin most of the time. It the weak nobles house, and i help them to take the lead. Well that the deal now they can come and take marbles and stuff if they not make trouble..
