Report on Montor by Azedine Kesh

[Oliver Creed]

I was asked by the Commander to look for solid evidence of Raza's presence in Montor.
As the sketches above show, Raza's presence is much in evidence, not just in His form as the Crimson Star, which occupies the sky directly above the Lake of Fire, but also in the fiery creatures which occupy this city.
The architecture is not Kaldorian, but whoever built this place must have been aware of Raza, whether they knew Him by that name, or another.

*Squinting painfully at the smallish text Dorian brooded over the first findings sent in by a courageous scout, muttering to himself.

'Good, very good indeed. Yes.

Just as I thought. Ghastly place, is it not?'

Flipping through the pages he compared the pictures with previously gathered notes and some old, if not ancient maps, marking out points of interest.

'Here! ... I think... or there?'

More and more scribbles ended up on some of the sketches and maps. Dorian frowned in concentration. The research so far had been a good start, but more details and a broader overview about the town still lacked. Maybe he would have to hold a lecture on how to perform proper research. Yes... yes that might do.

But in the meantime it was probably here. Or maybe there. But certainly not in that area. No. Unless...

Oh, and he would have to make sure to wait at the university tonight to be available if people wanted to deliver more findings or argue on what had been learned so far.

8pm Britannian Standard Time should be good. Yes. Tonight 8pm at the University.

And now he needed a magnifying glass!

'To the hands of Azedine Kesh.

With great interest I have recieved your excellent research for our Montor research project. Your courage and sacrifice in the name of science should be an example to us all.

With such preparation our first expedition to the area will surely be well-prepared. I sincerely hope to be able to rely on your presence and experience when the time comes.

In the name of Science
