- A plain, yellowed book of some years' age.
It is I, Alatar Locke, writing here in the silent remnants of a once gloriously powerful work that I call the Floating City. I call it thus for a two-fold reason: the marvels of some of its architecture, and the way sections of the city seem almost to float aimlessly in portal space, subject to the maddening tricks of a capricious magic. You may see for yourself more of what I mean if you have more than a casual tourist's resolve.

Of course, it is I, Alatar Locke, jotting down this absurdly brief note for unknown posterity. I am moved to write by the remains of this once-bustling pub. The remains of containers and bottles tell me the food and drink here came from around Auberean; the best of everything came here: fruit, meat, cheese, fine teas, distilled spirits.

It is I, Alatar Locke, writing as I listen to the comfortingly mysterious sounds of what I call the Lost Chamber of the Floating City.

It is I, Alatar Locke. We meet again, here in the dwelling place of an Empyrean man or woman after my own heart: a scholar, historian, and archaeologist. See the delicate samples this scholar so painstakingly collected and which now grace this apartment. Note how some of the rooms have been carefully worked to reflect older styles of Empyrean architecture, some of which may be found within the Floating City itself. Ah, a true devotee of history and learning!

It is I, Alatar Locke again, writing in what I call the "Skyway." It is not a real sky, of course, and the city beneath is sterile and dead. A tragedy to see what must have once been a thriving city to be now beyond habitation.
