 23rd of Bumble, Year 45 of the Imperial Empire
 
 Received a missive from [[Empress Elyenash]] that the [[Gaudiguch|City of Gaudiguch]] is
 rumoured to have ascended [[Eternal Flame|a nexus]], which makes it imperative they are
 brought into [[Holy Celestine Empire|the Empire]]. The Empire is relatively small now, notably
 just [[Djarrakh]], [[Shallach]] and [[Balach]], but it is my opinion that our
 military is more than enough to force Gaudiguch into the Empire. Even
 though Gaudiguch is older than even [[Celest]], I believe their military
 strength relies on soldiers who are too undisciplined to match the
 ur'Guard. Recommend opening the catacombs to begin military maneuvers
 around Gaudiguch in a display of strength.

 [[Gaudiguch]] is proving reluctant to join the Empire. [[Empress Elyenash]]
 wishes to avoid war and has directed the [[mugwump]]s in [[Balach]] to develop a
 way to pacify Gaudiguch. She promises that upon success, she will devote
 imperial resources to raise [[Balach Institute of Magic and Science|a research institute in Balach]] if
 successful. We will continue the military maneuvers but not engage.

 Finally received the new weapon from the [[mugwump science corps]]. It
 apparently is to pacify [[Gaudiguch]], using weapons that the mugwumps call
 "[[cloudspout]]s". The storage tanks to contain the fuel for the cloudspouts
 are being built deep within the [[Ruins of Shallach|Shallach weapons depot]]. They claim the
 storage tank will refill itself in perpetuity. We are spending time with
 the scientists to learn how to work the cloudspouts. We prepare for the
 covert assault, called [[Operation Peacemaker]].

 [[Operation Peacemaker]] is a success. The [[cloudspout]]s have enveloped
 [[Gaudiguch]] with the pleasure clouds (as Gaudiguchians call it). We find
 we have to return to [[Shallach]] to refuel frequently, but the [[Catacombs of the Dead|catacombs]]
 facilitate movement nicely. The Freedom Council of Gaudiguch seems to
 welcome the imperial ambassadors (who have been immunized by the [[mugwump science corps|mugwump<br>science corps]]) and we expect the pacified city to join the Empire
 expediently.

 23rd of Bones, Year 60 of the Imperial Empire
 
 The [[Hallifax|village of Hallifax]] has ascended a [[nexus of power]] and must be
 brought into the Empire. [[Empress Elynash II]] has ordered the reactivation
 of the [[cloudspout]]s. Several soldiers have succumbed to an ailment as the
 cloudspout fuel tank has begun to 'sweat'. Have contacted the [[Balach Institute of Magic and Science|Balach<br>Institute]] to reinforce the containment of the tank. Will follow
 procedures developed by my predecessor, General Bashurk.

 [[Operation Peacemaker II]] is a failure. The [[Hallifax|village of Hallifax]] has raised
 their [[nexus of power]] (called [[the Matrix]]) on a floating platform. Their
 [[Aeromancy|aeromantic]] powers have been able to disperse the pleasure clouds, making
 pacification impossible. [[Empress Elynash II]] is turning to diplomatic
 solutions.

 [[Emperor Agatane]] has ordered the utilization of the [[cloudspout]] weapons to
 help quell the [[aslaran]]-[[krokani]] feud in the [[Grey Moors|Greymoors]]. Preparing a squad
 in their use, utilizing the protocols established by General Bashurk.

 The winds have not been favorable for utilizing the [[cloudspout]]s and
 pleasure clouds have entered the [[Gloriana Forest]], which has resulted in
 a diplomatic quagmire with the commune there. Though we are denying
 culpability, [[Emperor Agatane]] is not pleased and I will tender my
 resignation tomorrow. Despite the hostility with Gloriana, it appears
 the clouds had a limited success with the [[krokani]] and [[aslaran]] as peace
 negotiations are proceeding apace at [[Castle Djarrakh]].

 2nd of Nifil, Year 210 of the Imperial Empire
 
 Because of the conflict rising between [[Gaudiguch]] and [[Serenwilde]], [[Emperor Ladantine IV|Emperor<br>Ladantine IV]] has asked us to research the pleasure clouds, which have
 not been used in over 150 years. Am not sure how to translate the months
 of the old calendar (note to ask for counsel of an imperial historian).
 The fuel tank referenced is housed in an abandoned section of the
 armoury. Will investigate.

 General Kruush seems to have succumbed to an ailment when leading the
 team to open the [[cloudspout]] fuel tank. He seems to be in a delusional
 daze and refuses to take arms. Sending him to the [[Balach Institute of Magic and Science|Balach Institute of<br>Magic and Science for care. [[Emperor Ladantine IV]] has decided to abandon
 the cloudspouts for the time being.

 This is the tenth year of the [[Blood Wars]]. The [[cloudspout]] fell into enemy
 hands and was used against the [[ur'Guard]] in the disastrous [[Battle of the Greymoors|Battle of the<br>Greymoors]]. [[Empress Sinenth]] has ordered all weaponry destroyed and the
 fuel tanks sealed.
