Diary entry number 3: Something has been set in motion

I heard and saw something rather odd this evening. I saw Epphia, talking to Azanoth. the two seemed to be quite close - then again, Epphia acts friendly around everyone. However I could tell these two knew eachother. This alone wasn't the strange part, it was that they were walking alone during the evening and spoke about 'something not being here for much longer if things go according to plan'. I cannot remember the exact wording used, but it heavily implies something is going to happen soon. I'm not sure if I wish to be here when it does but at the same time there's nothing saying this is something bad. Epphia even warned me to not to get involved today, she told me to stay safe which was odd. I could pry it out of her using my silver tongue, I could even interrogate her but if I did and it turns out she doesn't know much, then it will all be a waste as she'll just tell Azanoth - who will then most likely come after me. I need to wait for the right moment, I've invited her over for dinner tomorrow and I'm hoping with the right amount of alcohol I'll get her to let loose some information.

Along with this I had Rakan test his strength against Azanoth today... It turns out Azanoth has more mettle than I'd give him credit for. He apparently took a sword to the stomach and just shrugged it off, even Rakan was impressed... Yet I'm slightly concerned that he'll do something stupid and try to take revenge. I'll have to keep a tight leash on Rakan for now then.

I've also made some progress with the investigation into whatever this Fiorae thing is:

Fiorae is very old. Older than Kaoria. This means that if Fiorae is a person, they are no race I, or most others seem to know about. The only other race i can think of that we don't know much about that could have lived for so long would be the demons...

Fiorae was marked on a map in the south eastern reaches of Oshalan. It seems odd to mark a person on a map, so is it possible that Fiorae isn't a person? If so that would explain why Fiorae is so old as this would make more sense if it was a place.

However I should send some men down there to scout it out. I don't want to bring an entire airship as that would look rather imposing. Perhaps someone swift and dexterous like Nahtepa would be good for the job? Perhaps even the fence too. He hasn't done much like that in a while.
