<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/p_59x62.dds" width=59 height=62>In my pride, I have failed him, my only son.<br>
<div align="center">Damn The High Elves!! <br>
<div align="left">Those mighty mage's of old, they left their knowledge laying about.  But for them he would still live!  Instead he has embraced undeath, choosing the unlife of a lich, as taught by the powerful mage's of the Ancient Ayleids.  Curse be to them! <br>
<br>
Although the knowledge was theirs, the fault lies in me.  I believed that he would be strong enough to withstand the temptation.  But immortality proved to be a damning elixir.  In my pride I thought he would be more like me, for I believed no son of mine would be so faithless, so deceiving as to use the knowledge in secret. I showed him only as a curiosity, not thinking he would actually perform the ritual!!  Ahh, my son, my son. Alas, he is gone now.  Down into the Depths where I banished him and the other students.  The Arch-mage will never agree to the terms now that I have failed so miserably. I banished them,  For no evil will I allow to come to pass because of the monstrosity they have become by my negligence. I have sent him down, down  into the Deepness whence those ancient tomes of the Ayleids which precipitated this disaster came.<br>
The Elves buried it deep, but in my pride I delved.  Too deep did I delve, and now have brought ruin.  Not only to myself, but to my only son.<br>
<br>
I had learned much from the tomes.  The Ayleids knew much of the world of the dead.  A world that co-exists with our own.  I believed I knew all.  But when my son turned himself into a lich,  I sought a way to restore him.  I reasoned that if magic could make him so, then magic could undo it.  I have searched in vain.  I know the process perfectly now,  Backwards and forwards,  the way forward is clear.  But to return from that is impossible.  There are some things even magic cannot undo.<br>
<br>
In the search for a way to undo his undeath,  I have found even greater wonders than I had previously imagined.  I now know it is possible to create a 'pocket plane'. A place where both the world of the living, and the world of the dead are as one. Such a place would be very inhospitable if not outright lethal to the living, the very air poisoned, but it would serve as a place of resting to those of the dead.  A place for them to enter our world without the powers of the necromancer to help them cross.  In fact, such places are very common across cyrodil, for the ancient Ayleid sorcerer kings were loathe to give up their thrones.  Most if not all their ancient ruins have have been converted in this way. Them and their servants cross into our world in these places at will.  Most who enter these ruins know they will run into their previous owners.<br>
<br> I believe, because of the interplay of death and life in the pocket plane and the unique characteristics of lichdom; that a lich, if placed in a pocket plane, could never escape. <br>
 My nightmare is that upon my death, my son will escape because of the eventual decay of the magical barriers I have placed upon his tomb, the Deepness.  If the pocket plane is possible to create, and I could create one out of the Ayleid tomb he and the other students reside in, their eventual escape upon my death would be impossible...<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have done it!!   After years of study and experimentation,  I have created a pocket plane.  Right beneath my feet. The very place all my knowledge has come from, the Ayleid ruins beneath frostcrag, has been converted. My son who was already down in the deep, can now never escape from the pocket plane.  My vigil is over, and his ultimate escape upon my death is now impossible.  The dead already flock to it's halls from their plane.<br>
Even more amazing I have found something even the ancient Ayleids would be stunned by.  If the same spell of the dead used in the creation of the pocket plane is inverted asymmetrically to the matrices, the object in question, or any object, will be transported to the parallel plane of the dead.  Completely untouchable to the mortal world.  I have yet to find a way of retrieving the object, but hope to do so very soon.  I believe If I centered the magical power of the spell into another physical vessel and carried that vessel into my already created pocket plane, the spell will be activated.  And to retrieve it, all I must do is retrieve the vessel from the pocket plane.  The vessel could be something as simple as a piece of paper.
<br>
<br>
I have found an heir.  Barely related through my grandfather's younger brother. Even so  I have decided that frostcrag will be better served if I give it away upon my death. The Ancient Ayleid tomes of knowledge I have gathered, especially the ones describing the world of the dead and lichdom, will be destroyed.  The knowledge is too dangerous.  This book of memories will be put in my grave.  My man servant, Thomas will be sure to deliver the deed and the key to frostcrag to my heir.  The East and West wings of the tower will be Spelled out of the mortal world, they hold too many dangerous artifacts,  And because the vessels of the spell of the dead  for their retrieval will be held in my pocket plane, I myself upon my death will be able to guard them should someone , even my heir, seek to restore them to the mortal world.  Frostcrag will be much lessened by their absence, for even the mighty statue of the dragon Kelnarath will be taken in the spell.<br>
<br>
I have asked Thomas to bury me in the cold cellar. Next to my Father Lennasaan and my son Rindsey's grave, although Rindsey's body does not lie there.  His true spirit of adventure will be celebrated there.

<br>
<br><div align="left">
<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/p_59x62.dds" width=59 height=62>In my pride,私は己自身の自惚れのせいであの子の…ただ一人の息子の事を見誤ってしまった。<br>
<div align="center">忌々しいHigh Elfたちめ!! <br>
<div align="left">かの旧き強大な魔術師たちは、その叡智を後世に残してくれた。だが、我が息子が未だに生き恥を晒さなければならないのは彼らのせいだ!あの子が死を受け入れず、lichとしての不完全な生を選んだのも、そもそも彼ら古代Ayleidの強力な魔術師達がその手段を残していった事に端を発している。ああ!全くもって呪わしい!!<br>
<br>
だが…息子たちの知識が彼ら由来のものである事は確かでも、責任を負うべきは私なのだ。あの子なら誘惑に打ち勝ってくれると信じていた。しかし、現実には「不死」とは禁断の霊薬であった。私には驕りがあった。息子ならば自分と同じようにしてくれる、まさかあの子が秘密裏に知識を悪用するなどという不実で不誠実な行いをするはずが無い、…そう信じていた。余興程度のつもりで披露はしてみせたが、よもやあの子が実際に儀式を執り行うなどとは!!ああ…息子よ…我が子よ…。もう…あの子は行ってしまった。地下の奥底の深奥へと…私は自らのこの手で、我が子ばかりかその他の教え子達まで追放したのだ。このような無様な失敗をしでかしたからには、今後Arch-mageが私との契約に同意する事など決してあり得ないだろう。私の管理不行き届きのせいで生徒達の心の中の怪物を増長させ、悪事を招いたなどという事態は、まず許されない。それゆえ私はあの子達を追放した。災厄の根源たるAyleidの秘儀書をこの身にもたらした、遥か深き地の奥底へと…。<br>
Elf達はその叡智を秘密として隠した。しかし私は自らの誇りにかけて解明した。解明を進め過ぎ…破滅を招いた。自分自身ばかりか、ただ一人の我が息子まで巻き込んで…。<br>
<br>
秘儀書からは多くの事を学んだ。あのAyleid達は死の世界について深い知見を得ていたらしい。そして、死の世界は私達の暮らすこの世界のすぐ傍らに存在している。私は自分に分からぬ事など無いと自惚れていた。息子がlichへと変貌を遂げた後も、魔法の力で引き起こされた現象ならば魔法の力で元に戻せるだろうと考えてあの子を救う手立てを探したが、結局は無駄な努力と知った。変化と回帰、両方の過程について私は知り尽くし、変化の過程については明らかになった。しかし回帰の過程については…不可能だった。この世には魔法の力を以てしても取り返しのつかない事があるのだ。<br>
<br>
あの子を不死から戻す術を探究する過程で、当初想定していたよりもはるかに大きな発見に出くわした。「pocket plane」の開き方を解明したのだ。pocket planeとは、生と死それぞれの世界が渾然一体となった場所だ。生者にとっては瘴気を含んだ大気のせいで、居住が不可能とは言わないまでも無理のある環境ではあるが、死者にとっては安らげる場所といえる。また、この場所からであれば、死者はnecromancerの力を借りずとも我々の世界へと侵入が可能だ。実を言えば、そういった場所はCyrodiilでも有り触れた存在ではある。と言うのも、古代Ayleidの呪術的指導者たちは、死後も自らの支配者の座を明け渡すのを良しとしなかった為である。確かに、全ての古代遺跡がそのような目的で造られたと主張するわけではないが、大部分がそうだと言っていい。それ故、彼らとその下僕たちは自力で我々の世界へと足を踏み入れることが出来るのだ。こういった遺跡を探索した事がある者なら、それらが大抵の場合において元の持ち主によって占拠されている事を知っている者がほとんどだ。<br>
<br>pocket planeにおける生と死の相互作用およびlich独特の性質。これら両方の条件が揃う事によって、ひとたび彼らをpocket planeに閉じ込める事に成功しさえすれば、二度と外に逃さずにおく事が出来ると、私は確信している。<br>
私は自分の死後を危惧しているのだ。地下深くに立てた息子の墓碑には魔法障壁を張り巡らしているが、いつかは決壊し、あの子に自由を許してしまう事になる。だが、もしもpoket planeを開く事が可能であれば、息子と他の生徒達が住むAyleidの墓所その場所に開く事が可能であれば、私の死後も彼らが解き放たれる心配は不要のものとなるだろう…。<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
私はついに成し遂げた!!何年にもわたる研究と実験の結果、ついに私はpocket planeの開放に成功したのだ。そして、ここからちょうど真下、私に全ての知識を授けてくれたfrostcrag地下のAyleid遺跡を一変させた。息子は既に地下深くにあり、もはやpockt planeから逃れる事は叶わない。私はもう監視の目を光らせずとも良くなった。私が死んだ後も、あの子が逃げ出す事は不可能だ。今頃、死者たちが他のplaneから大挙して押し寄せている事だろう。<br>
Even more amazing I have found something even the ancient Ayleids would be stunned by.  If the same spell of the dead used in the creation of the pocket plane is inverted asymmetrically to the matrices, the object in question, or any object, will be transported to the parallel plane of the dead.  Completely untouchable to the mortal world.  I have yet to find a way of retrieving the object, but hope to do so very soon.  I believe If I centered the magical power of the spell into another physical vessel and carried that vessel into my already created pocket plane, the spell will be activated.  And to retrieve it, all I must do is retrieve the vessel from the pocket plane.  The vessel could be something as simple as a piece of paper.
<br>
<br>
I have found an heir.  Barely related through my grandfather's younger brother. Even so  I have decided that frostcrag will be better served if I give it away upon my death.
