Description
A personal notebook labelled like this: "personal propriety of Usher Talltree - read it and face my wrath"
 * 8th January 1918
 * The cards worry me, for they keep on announcing the coming of an imprecise, but
 * terrible danger, distinct from this awful war. I better call back the Legates to London and
 * tell them to observe and report any unusual events.
 * 15th March 1918
 * Something is definitely going on. The cards keep hiding what is approaching, and that
 * can only mean something powerful is moving: something so strong and potent, the
 * cards cannot fully reveal its nature. All the Legates but one are back in London. His
 * mission in Lhasa is too crucial to be aborted. The only noticeable event is the frequent
 * meetings between Aloysius Dawson and the Ascalon Club. It's nothing to worry about,
 * for now.
 * 24th July 1918
 * A terrible epidemic is upon us and I don't like this at all. My legates have been sent back
 * overseas to protect them from the disease, but also to find any clue about the origin of
 * the plague. I am not totally convinced this is all natural. In the past, we had many cases
 * of vampire activity linked with sudden epidemics. We must remain vigilant.
 * 17th August 1918
 * All over the world, hundreds of thousands dead, broken families, despair and affliction
 * deeply rooted in our hearts. This epidemic is a curse. Reports from every country tell me
 * this catastrophe has no boundaries, no limits. The good news is that the disease seems
 * to have withdrawn. The bad news is the cards keep on foreseeing a calamity.
 * 19th September 1918
 * Cards were right from the beginning. A calamity is upon us. The best sign may be the
 * return of the Guard of Priwen. Geoffrey McCullum himself is back in London. He is
 * actively enquiring and recruiting members for a new campaign. Whatever I may think of
 * McCullum's methods. I must admit he has a good nose of danger. We must all stay
 * alert.
 * 21st of September 1918
 * McCullum did not waste any time. At least three of his war hounds have been ordered to
 * survey me. Same old hate, same old methods once again, they will enquire about all my
 * moves, all my acquaintances, and all my actions. I know they are convinced I am an
 * immortal plotting against them, against humanity. Stupid hunters! I have no time for this!
 * I may have my secrets, but I am not the conspiring foe they're after. But they are right
 * about something: the cataclysm will not be avoided.
 * 15th of October 1918
 * For the second time since I am the Primate of Saint Paul, I fear for this city. Skals are
 * invading London, and the entire country. No, not invading. They are already here. They
 * are among us, released by the flesh of the many infected. Observers of the Brotherhood
 * tell me that foreign vampires are arriving from all over Europe, delighted to get their
 * share of innocent and suffering flesh. This country, as we know it, may be on the verge
 * of oblivion. We still don't know what is maneuvering against us.
 * 26th October 1918
 * The cards are still worrying me, as if the real danger was not revealed yet. I am
 * convinced that the Guard of Priwen is about to launch a second Great Hunt. This is the
 * only explanation to the patterns of activities deployed by McCullum: control of strategic
 * command posts all over the city, creation of many new weapons, robbery to quickly
 * finance this expensive undertaking. I know my name will be on the list if they decide to
 * hunt down all identified vampires in England. But I refuse to submit to this threat.
 * 7th of November 1918
 * A Priwen attack is imminent. Scouts and patrols are getting closer every night. I can't
 * even blame them, for the situation is critical (a few reports even claim the horned
 * vampire may be back!), but their blindness never ceases to astonish me: how can they
 * keep considering me a foe? Have I not proved I am their ally? Have I not done all I can to
 * protect mortals? This is my last entry in this journal. May God have mercy on our souls?
