To Hardoleth, Captain of the Bloody Dawn,
In the following "journal" you will find all my observations concerning the noble houses currently residing or operating in Bree-town and the surrounding regions, as well as any comments and speculation I may have on the information I gained.
I have disguised my notes as a journal, as many people keep their journals private, and it would justify me hiding this book and often writing in it. I hope that you will find the information I have provided satisfactory.
-River Oaks
