|'''Hour 07—Arrival and Initial Observations'''

When I heard that the [[Tyrian Alliance]] was preparing to push against the [[titan]]s following the realization that there's a [[Ura, the Steamshrieker|third]], I dropped everything to shadow the event. My investigation of the [[largos]] upset simply must wait. My primary motivation is to observe the creatures—the titans—before troops eventually roll in and ruin any chance of direct observation (and yes, I know, it's not good for these things to be galivanting across the [[Tyria]]n wastes; I'm just noting that it's not every day a new titan is melded). But [[Eternal Alchemy|Alchemy]] be damned, I arrived just in time for a little reconnaissance.

When one of my contacts from the [[Order of Whispers]] informed me that the [[Pact Commander|commander]] and their allies were planning to [[Balrior Peak|arrive]] at [[Mount Balrior]] just after the next sunrise, I pulled every connection I could just to get here. All [[airship]] travel near Janthir has been labeled as "high-risk," so I organized a drop-off on the [[Janthir Syntri|isle]] nearby from my partners at the [[Lion's Arch Aerodrome|aerodrome]]. One of the [[Lowland Kodan|lowland bearkin]] showed me to the path, and I climbed. I encountered titanspawn and [[Wolf|wolves]] on the way—nothing this researcher would bat an eye at—but I just{{sic|superfluous 'just'}} arrived just a few hours ago, and...they're magnificent.

What a marvel, these creatures are. So much more evolved than our records of titans past—the [[Durmand Priory|priory]]'s very own [[Farrah Baelseeker]] has been working on collecting a full report. They're bigger and they're stronger. Is it just their age? Or something else? Mind you, I haven't the vacuity to get a closer look—although once the commander arrives, I'll gladly watch—but the footprints, the size of their spawn. The smells in the air! It's a delight, all of it, but the implications are also quite horrifying.

My initial questions are of their origin—who relit the [[Foundry of Failed Creations|forge]]? Perhaps we can't know. But I must ask.

'''Hour 11—Strange Reverberations'''

I've managed to perch myself in a safe clearing near what seems to be some long-abandoned ruins—probably [[mursaat]] or [[White Mantle]]. I can hear titanspawn nearby, but they've yet to locate me.

Since my arrival, I've observed strange reverberations across the mountain. Thankfully, Farrah had reported similar findings during her own time in Janthir Syntri, so I brought my infrasound frequency tracer—a small relic of my days before the priory. As expected, I've been able to identify three origin points for these frequencies. Given the titanspawns' movement, I think I can assume that the source is the titans.

In Farrah's working report, she's noted that they've used bursts of hot air and energy to emit stormlike tones to communicate with each other across great distances. Those are quite loud and can be heard even by us (although they're untranslatable if you're further than a few yards away). In this instance, I assume the titans have taken on a more indetectable frequency of communication to shield their whereabouts. Sadly for them, they don't know how equipped I am.

Frequency 01, which seems to linger toward the northernmost edge of the mountain's peak, is often short and sharp—I believe this is Ura. Frequency 02, lingering toward the east, is more verbose, but is usually only heard when Frequency 03 begins. Frequency 03, whose origin lives toward the west, is...incohesive and complex. It takes on a rhythmic pattern, and not an especially admirable one. I pitched it against a classic [[Kryta]]n song, "The Battle at the King's Foot," and I do believe that Frequency 03 might be a sour attempt at...singing? This leads me to believe that Frequency 02 is [[Greer, the Blightbringer|Greer]], and Frequency 03 is [[Decima, the Stormsinger|Decima]]. Apparently she hasn't titled herself the "Stormsinger" for nothing.

'''Hour 14—the Commander Arrives'''

Thank goodness, the commander has finally arrived—and just as my position was detected by the titanspawn. Now the true research begins. To battle we go! Or rather, to battle the commander goes.}}
