NPC With hints (Starter Document in the Castle)

The silence is deafening. The once bustling streets are empty, and the ruins of our kingdom are scattered around us. Our people have vanished, taken by the evil king's wrath or forced to flee. I remain, but I am alone.

Journal 2 - (Attached is ____)

I wander through the streets, haunted by memories of laughter and life. The market stalls are empty, and homes stand abandoned. It's a painful sight. I long for the return of my people, but their fate remains unknown. All I can do is wait and hope.

Journal 3 - (Attached is ____)

The fields are barren, and the soil is unforgiving. I struggle to grow anything, but I persist. The echo of footsteps that used to follow mine is now just a memory. The emptiness weighs heavily on my heart, but I must try to rebuild.

Journal 4 - (Attached is ____)

The nights are the hardest. The darkness feels even more profound without the warmth of company. I light a small fire to keep me safe and give me a sense of comfort. The world seems to have forgotten this place, but I won't give up on it.

Journal 5 - (Attached is ____)

The ruins have become my companions, their shadows shifting with the changing light. I walk among them, remembering the lives that once filled this place. My hope falters, but I won't allow it to extinguish completely.

Journal 6 - (Attached is ____)

The days blur together. I work to restore a small corner of the kingdom, a place that might serve as a refuge if others ever return. The solitude is overwhelming, but I cling to the dream of a better future.

Journal 7 - (Attached is ____)

It's been weeks since I've seen another soul. Loneliness is a heavy burden, but I hold on to the memories of my people, drawing strength from them. The evil king may have taken them, but he cannot take away the love we shared.

Journal 8 - (Attached is ____)

I speak aloud to the spirits of my people, asking for guidance and strength. The pain of their absence is still fresh, but I refuse to let it consume me. If they cannot return, I will rebuild for them, in their memory.

Journal 9 - (Attached is ____)

Today, I completed the restoration of a small shrine, a place to honor those who are gone. I stand before it, feeling a sense of peace.
