What it's about
The receptionist sent the ledger ahead to Kerning City for me. The long entry names the Dark Lord, but parts of it are missing. Dark Lord found his own name in the ledger and didn't care for it. He couldn't tell me much, but he sent me to Alex on the rooftops. Alex filled in the part about the bench. Now to make my way to Grendel the Really Old.
