The Truth About “Duke Edgar Balliol”

I was trying to find a good place to put this and unearthed this stack of papers. I have more information about Baliol.

As most know, Eden was taken by Baliol last moon and returned to us at the Winterdark Ball. I had tea with her the other week and I learned a few things and she is okay with me sharing this. The most important being that, in a way, there are currently two of them.

The best I can gather from my talk with her is that it seems Baliol was so conflicted over whether or not to kill the True Warlock that it caused a split in his personality and an entirely separate consciousness. The one that wanted to work with the True Warlock won over the other, and so the one that wanted to kill the True Warlock has locked itself away in a mindscape.

From what she told me, this other aspect of him seems to be a bit more polite and able to be talked with. Dirge and Eden are both currently linked to this other consciousness while the other Psions with mind spikes seem to all be linked to the Baliol currently in control. This second Baliol doesn't seem to care if we destroy the body in the attempt to defeat the one currently in control. He also seems to have other minds in the mindscape with him. People that sought protection from the war.

I have a few theories I am trying to confirm right now, but I wanted to get this information out to others.

Oh?
We heard of this, when Dirge was pompously swinging around his affliction like a vestige.... We didn't believe him.
But Paladins do not lie, and objects such as humunculi can't lie without initiative to do so.

Would be nice to get a look at him. Would be nice to see one so similar to our affliction.Would be nice to pull him apart and understand more.
We hope you all don't kill him. Not just yet....

I'm sorry, what did I do now?
