020 - Dire Rat

observations Being a manner of vile and verminous beastie, much favoring the fetid stench of the sewers and making their nests therein. Past attempts at eradication to contain the plagues these pests are known to carry have greatly reduced their numbers, yet a preternatural rate of reproduction has kept the strain from extinction. And so they remain, an ever-popular subject for natural philospheres keen to fathom the secrets of their indomitable constitution. Today's Recommendation The rat tail: a cheap reagent for all your potion-crafting needs. And that's not all : some aficionados say they're quite tasty fried with a little cactus butter! The large volume disappearing from merchant's stalls would seem to confirm their popularity. Rumor has it that, with the right spices, the flavor can only be described as "transcendent." I, for one, am not sure I'm quite ready to transcend.

022 - Giantoad

observations This amphibious, carnivorous monstrosity is said to live only in the Dalmasca region, much to the relief of peoples living elsewere. During the mating season, the male inflates a great sac in his gullet producing a distinctive galumph sound, whereby he makes his intentions known to fairer [ as far as he's concerened] sex. Its horns are unsuitable forcombat, and are instead used to mark territory with gouges on trees, asdo some great cats, or for threatening the predatory wooly gator. Though possessed of a relatively peaceable nature, the giantoad is fiercely territorialand can be deadly when provoked. Sage Knowledge - The Garamsythe Waterway An underground waterway running deep beneath the Royal City of Rabanastre. Built and rebuilt over the centuries, no one alive knowns all of its labyrinthine ways. Some are said to lead even to the royal palace. There are stairs leading down the waterway in Lowtown, but they are normally barred to keep unwelcome visitors down in the sewers where they belong.

023 - Malboro Overking

observations This malboro, though its abstinence of the odd practice of heterogenesis by which its lesser ilk procreate, has reached the foreseeable pinnacle of its development. Its hide has grown hard to the very point of petrification, andthe crown it wears is studded with a glittering gemstone for each year of its life. Truly a king among foul-smelling vegetables. Research Notes Completed phase three of inquiry into nature of putrid breath. Unable to annul stench, though have developed several deodorant solutions of passable strength, and three fragranceswithal, such asmay be marketable with further refinement. Indeed, three of my most expirenced researchers have joined a smallventure marketing these scents, and so spend their days mixing, culling, and sniffing. They have achieved some measure of financial successwith a particular fragrance derived from putrid liquid, the public being none the wiser! I know not if I will see them in my laboratory again.

024 - Garchimacera

observations There was once an unenlightened age when all manner of maladies were believed to be the work of demons. It was customary in these days to place statues with terrible visages in the houses of curing so as to ward off these demons. Eventually, it came to pass that the people thought of the statues themselves as a sort of demon, andthey feared them so much that the feat took shape, and the garchimacera was born: a foul simulacrum of the statues carved to keep such evil at bay. Sage Knowledge - Royal Palace A short walk north from the center of Rabanastre will lead you to the gates of the royal palace. Before the way with Archadia, this magnificent structure was home to the Dalmascan royal family, and barracks to the order of knights that served them. It is currently employed as living quarters and apartments by the recently appointed consul from Archadia. The palace itself was built several centuries ago and has since been home to many Dalmascan monarchs, King Raminas being the most reccent. Numerous additions have been made to the palace over the course of its long history[the Royal City of Rabanastre having several times fallen under the control of foreign powers through invasion], but the overall bearing of its architecture is true to the original Galtean design.

026 - Ghost

observations Any soul when trapped in a coffin by magicks will become a vengeful thing of passionate violance, nomatter how innocent or unsullied its former life. The ghost is a lamentable example of such. Tales tell of a mage who trapped his lover's soul in a casket of cold wood and set it at his side, only to be rent limb from limb by the monster his love became. Destroy the casket is often enough to dissipate the apparition, this being more properly called "releasing," for it frees the soul at last to assume the form assigned to it by nature.

027-A - Water Elemental

observations The element of water, the vital element, present in all spaces where there exists life. Should a water elemental appear near to a befouled pool, it is made clear as a mountain spring, and for this, these entities are worshipped as purifiers by divers faiths. "As water consumeth all, and cleanseth the land, so doth vialence silence uprising, and purify thought," says the central tenet of one such belief, much to the dismay of those caught in its holy wars. Aletap Rumors To hear tell of it, northing packs quite the punch of the bombs made in the lands to the far west. But how exactly does one go about fashioning something like a water bomb, and explosive which harnesses the power of water? I've collected a fine amount of materials, yet aught's missing and I'm lost as to what it might be. Truly, a challenge to warm the heart of this old artificer. - Karimdt, Guild Artificer
