Entry 1

Who knew that I would find my self in such horrible conditions after a simple summons from the emperor. I mean, really, who puts guests in such horrible rooms?

But I should explain, for who knows what manner of person could find this document and wish to learn of my fate.

Earlier this morning I was at my uncle's town house attempting to figure out which of my "companions" was cheating the worse when approached by a summons to the emperors person. Believing it was nothing more then another attempt by my father to curry favor with his older brother (His Grace Magus of the Crystal Spire, Duke of Whitehall, Reygon Constantine). But it turns out it was to be an adventure! My brother Rudolf and I would be heading to Earth. It appears some member of the Spire (probably a cousin or some such, it always is) had managed to break through.

Well, due to the requirements of expediency and to avoid the guild council slowing things down, we where sent off immediately.

But you would not believe our arrival was expected? But in such a manner. You would almost suspect that these where commoners. We attempted to explain to them what there duties would be with us here. But I don't believe this Christian Poltick (that appears to be ruling here) fully understood the importance of our mission.

I hope that when we break our fast in the morning he will be more reasonable.

- Lord Augustus Constantine, Magus
