The '''[[Writings of Abd al-Hazir]]''' are well known in the civilised parts of [[Sanctuary]]. The writings of al-Hazir seem to both be named works as well as a collection of works, such as a diary. ''The Writings of Abd al-Hazir'' is thereby probably both the name of a book as well as literary meaning a collection of his writing.

==Entry no. 0016==
We have all heard the tales associated with [[Tristram]]. The very mention of its name brings to mind images of [[undead]] monstrosities, [[demon]]ic possession, monarchy driven to lunacy, and, of course, the greatest legend of all: the [[Lord of Terror]] unleashed. Although many now claim that a peculiar mold upon the bread or perhaps a fouling of the water drove the populace mad with visions, I have seen too much in my varied travels to dismiss such stories out of hand. It is within this context, then, that I have to say my journey to what is now called "[[New Tristram]]" was somewhat of a disappointment.

New Tristram has been in existence for several years, though the exact date of its founding is unclear. Originally simply a collection of merchants looking to profit on adventurers and travelers drawn by legends of riches within the [[Tristram Cathedral|old cathedral]], it slowly set down roots and became an established town. As soon as the cathedral was looted bare, however, the adventurers and travelers stopped coming, and New Tristram found itself in decline. The town is now comprised mostly of depressing shacks; the inn is the only building that looks even the least bit habitable.

Before I took my leave of this dreary place, I was cornered by an eccentric old man who seemed to have an endless supply of anecdotes and folksy wisdom to impart. He went on about there still being much of value deep within the cathedral in the form of tomes of ancient origin and wisdom. I will have to take his word for it, for I must admit that while I did explore the burnt remains of the "old" Tristram, I lacked the intestinal fortitude to do much more than take a few hesitating steps within that infamous cathedral of legend.
