'''Part 1'''
Most commoners know [[Caldeum]] by reputation if not direct experience. The trade city has existed for thousands of years, predating even the [[Mage Clan Wars]]. Its neutral stance throughout the following centuries saved it from the destruction that visited the nearby city of [[Viz-jun]] and life along the trade carried on. -- [[Abd al-Hazir]]
'''Starting quest - A Royal Audience'''Each journal entry first appears during certain quests but if you progress through the quests without picking up the journals they will still appear. So if you waited until you finished Act II all six parts would appear at the same time.
'''Part 2'''Only one of your characters needs to find the journal for you to be credited with it.
The trade consortium council has always been the ruling body of Caldeum, but it gained additioanl strength after the fall of the [[Vizjerei]]. The councilmen saw opportunity in the rapidly growing [[Zakarum]] faith, and they allowed the fanatics to build their enormous cathedral, [[Saldencal]], within the center if the city. -- [[Abd al-Hazir]]

'''Part 5'''
All was well under the new emperor until his untimely death forced the [[Zakarum]] priests to find a new heir for [[Kehjistan]]'s throne. Through a series of elaborate rituals (undoubtedly a spectacle for their superstitious followers), they determined an impoverished infant in the north was [[Hakan I]]'s spiritual successor. -- [[Abd al-Hazir]]

After the [[Zakarumcategory:items]] priests' rituals were complete, they employed a group of reckless mercenaries, the [[Iron Wolvescategory:story]], to retrieve the child. They dubbed him [[Hakan IIcategory:lore]] and installed him on the throne despite his scant years. [[Caldeumcategory:story scrolls]] has been in decline ever since, and I can see no reprieve in sight. -- [[Abd al-Hazir]] '''Found in the same location as Part 1.
