Tome of Betrayal By Elliundial, First Guard of the Court of Katek

Master Katek had his architects begin work on a small pyramid today. The Master never leaves his chambers as of late. It is becoming clear that he no longer cares for others. Just yesterday when his advisors begged him to leave the temple with the others, he had them jailed for treason. I never dreamed that our beloved leader, Uinaonuvo would succumb to the forces of evil. His intentions were good in the beginning when he wished to find a way to restore the forest, but now he has become obsessed with escaping death by any means necessary.

I tremble whenever I look at the pyramid being built. We have been betrayed by the Master.
