The pages appear to be torn from someone's diary:

The first day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 A new mage is joining us today, Varanexus. My wife seems to think very highly of him. She claims that he has some ideas that will greatly benefit us. Of course, I am willing to give him a chance, as I would for anyone.

The third day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 Varanexus has taken up residence in the underground level. I offered him a more comfortable room, but he insisted that he needed his privacy. Furthermore, he has modified some of the empty rooms to serve as a laboratory for his work. He certainly is an intriguing man; I will be anxious to see the results of his work.

The seventh day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 Varanexus has been keeping to himself. He is very evasive if I ask about the progress of his work. I am growing a bit suspicious of him, but my wife insists that we must let him work in peace. I am very grateful for her advice. I believe if it were not for her, I would have asked Varanexus to leave already, for his spirit does not seem to agree with my own.

The tenth day in the month of Vecna's Terror

 I am shaking with rage as I write this...never would I have believed it... But I know now...shrivel their black souls! That mage... he and my wife...they are in league, against me! I know not what wickedness they plan for me, but I must be careful... I am a simple man; a man of steel...I fear that I will be helpless against the dark magics this Varanexus is working ... I must not alarm my men until I have a plan of action...but I fear that time is growing short for me...I must find out who is loyal to me and prepare for the inevitable betrayal...

You quickly turn to the last page and begin reading:

 "To you who reads this. Know that my wife has betrayed me.  In her lust for power, she has separated my body from my spirit; trapping my spirit in the Ethereal Realm while combining my body with that of a dragon; in an experiment that--she believes--will produce the ultimate warrior. I knew that she and Varanexus were plotting against me, but alas, I had no idea of the depths of their wickedness. Now, it is too late. This will be my last entry--I beg of you:  slay Lady Goland and avenge me! And may God have mercy on our souls..."
