''Information about the Barsaebic Ayleids has remained hard to come by. Little to no evidence of their presence in Argonia has actually been found, as their ruins have long since sunk away in the treacherous marshes; what little we do know about them is based upon passing mentions about them in old Ayleid records.''

''Last year, an Imperial scholar by the name of Marcus Larinius mounted a research expedition into Argonia after having learned about the location of an Ayleid city that once supposedly existed, somewhere to the northeast of Gideon. He, a along with a dozen fellow scholars, hired guards, and native guides, journeyed deep into uncharted territory. Since the existence of Ayleid artefacts might be of value to the Inquisition, I saw fit to infiltrate his retinue by posing as a guard.''

''Over the course of a three week journey, we did find the location of the city - however, it had nearly entirely sunken into the marsh, and the expedition amounted to very little. We only partially uncovered one building: the tip of a spire, seemingly part of a church of some kind. No artefacts were discovered, though a few tidbits of new information were gathered from a number of murals and inscriptions, listed below.''

''7: What appeared to be a map of the Barsaebic Dominion's furthest extent under a King Barinas. A number of cities was listed on it; this list revealed that the city we were standing upon was called Arinnis. None of these cities remain in existence to our knowledge, as they will all have suffered the same fate as Arinnis. It should be noted that one of the cities depicted on the map was not in fact located in the marshes: the city of Dir'saan appears to have been located in the southeastern areas of the Velothi Mountains, and as such it might still exist to this date; however, to my knowledge the city has never been found. Future exploration might be in order, but is unlikely to be very pressing.''
