The Record and Testimony of the Lost Followers of Bahamut

The Record and Testimony of the Lost Followers of Bahamut is a journal written by Marcus Brandt. It details the history of the ‘Lost Followers of Bahamut’, who were cast into the Seam by The Black Flame shortly after his betrayal.

The Lost Followers were:

The journal was discovered by the party in Tambour torn into nine pieces.

June 9th, 457 AC

Found in a torn out journal on the first page in Marcus Brandt’s house.

This is the record and testimony of the Lost Followers of Bahamut. The Black Flame cast us into this place by some accursed magic. We managed to secure one of the Fallen and bring them with us and defeat them in the halls below. Kvarra is dead. I was called away urgently the day before her ceremony, and I only realised it was a deception too late. The Temple was already aflame when I arrived. For any soul of Bahamut that finds this, please forgive me. I will regret my folly to my dying day and, I swear to do everything in my power to put it right. Eskel, Shaw and Lithe are with me. It seems for now we are trapped here. Our next steps are to introduce ourselves to our neighbours and find some way to deal with the body of the Fallen. Marcus Brandt. Head of the Temple of Bahamut

June 10th 457 AC

Found in the Temple of Bahamut inside the Holy Scripture of Bahamut on the Altar.

Shaw has determined that the soul of the body is restless. The curse appears to have done it's work but has been far more effective than intended. We will need to construct a mausoleum for it that will bind it to the grave forever. Shaw suggests that it may take some of our own energy to sustain but needs must. The people here are... strange. But they seem to have welcomed our unconventional arrival none the less. We will build a shrine here and then see if there is some way to leave. I've sent Lithe off on a scouting mission to Velour, which seems to be the central hub here. Hopefully she'll be able to find a way for us to leave.

August 7th 457 AC | March 3rd 5837

Found on one of the abandoned boats in the dock.

Lithe has returned and things are worse than I thought. The Seam is built inside a wizard's robe. It's purpose is to provide one off materials that the wizard might need and the societies in the Seam are designed to provide these materials to the pockets. In return, the deliverers of the items are gifted with the ability to produce more materials to sustain themselves. This much we knew, however it also seems that time is not as linear here as it is outside of the robe. When the materials are provided is inconsequential. As are the times that the people within the Seam come from. Lithe met people from before and after the Calamity. Children from the age of my grandfather and elderly from well beyond our time. These are not good tidings.

March 13th 458 AC | October 8th 5837

Found hidden in Marcus Brandt’s house as one of the torn out journal pages.

The shrine is complete. It took more work than expected we needed to bury the body deep to avoid disturbing the local residents. We ended up with quite the complex. This place disturbs me. I feel disconnected and... adrift. I fear what is happening, or has happened at home. Kvarra, I'm so sorry.

November 4th 464 AC | April 2nd 5844

Found hidden in Marcus Brandt’s house as one of the torn out journal pages.

Eskel died this morning. He passed away after an injury sustained at the Wyroads. We managed to get him back to the shrine but it was too late. We burned his body in the silver flames and gave him rites as we would of the greatest Followers of Bahamut. His ashes rest in the shrine. He will be missed.

November 5th 464 AC | April 3rd 5844

Found in one of the side rooms in the Shrine.

Shaw raised something at the wake that I had not considered for some time. Biri of Bahamut. The lost cleric that was lost before us. If she is still out there, in the material plane. Then maybe all is not lost. A foolish thought perhaps. I have already mourned the loss of Biri and Kvarra. It is time for me to mourn another cleric now.

January 20th 469 AC | June 19th 5848

Found in the tavern in Tambour.

Lithe and Shaw have left for good. They aim to do good out amongst the Seam and I honestly wish them well. I however aim to keep watch over Tambour. I asked Lithe to keep an eye out for anything that might help us return to the material plane. She agreed but seemed... pitying almost. The two have long since given up hope of a return and I do not blame them. The dreams of home are getting less clear and less vague and I forget many of the faces of the ones I used to call my friends. But I will not lose all hope. I dream of dying with a view of the Thorncliffe mountains. Not of an arcane bronze refinery.

February 3rd 489 AC | July 3rd 5868

Found in the Elucidation machinery in the refinery.

It has been many years since I wrote in this journal. However, my time is coming to a close and I must impart these words. The rites we set forth thirty years ago are weakening. The restless soul is starting to break free. There is still time but these rites must be renewed and I cannot do it alone. I have not seen Lithe and Shaw for many a year and I fear the worst. If you who finds this journal are of Bahamut you must re-bind the body. Burn it if you must but make sure that not a single ash is lost. Either that or vanquish the soul once and for all. It must not be allowed to return. The locals believe me mad, many of them unknowing of the truth of my presence here. Do this and save this town. Please. I beg that you heed my words.

February 28th 489 AC | July 28th 5868

Found in the ritual chamber of the shrine.

Lithe, Shaw. I wish that we could have met one last time. You were stalwart companions and the very best Paladins a dragonborn could know. I hope that you are out there doing what needs to be done. Eskel. See you soon. Reader. The work of binding must be done. Please ensure it is done. Kvarra, Biri. I wish I could have served you better but I was a fool. The only Head of the Temple to lose two chosen before they could save us all. I'm so sorry and I swear to look after you in the next life. Yours faithfully, Marcus Brandt The Last Head of the Temple of Bahamut
