The message is a quest item used during the Darkness of Hallowvale. It is found by using a knife on a chimney in a building near the centre of Meiyerditch after giving Safalaan three sketches of the castle in the north part of town. It is reobtainable from the same place even after the completion of the quest.

It describes the existence of a laboratory at the northern end of Meiyerditch. In addition, it suggests that the Vyrewatch might not be a race itself, but created from another race. The Vyrewatch might be corrupted Icyene, and the Daeyalt ore might be related to the process. The Icyene lived in part of the lands that Lord Drakan invaded and established his realm of Morytania.

Transcript

The following text is transcluded from Transcript:Message (fireplace).

To the hopeful reader:

I am compelled to commit my experience to paper, perhaps to ease my conscience at the crimes I have committed against my fellow man. Perhaps I also hope that in some way these details may help in the struggle against the vyres.

My unbearable duty, upon the value of my family's lives, was to assist in an underground laboratory. Each day I aided the stinking vyres with their diabolical experiments. They claim that the research will aid us, but I am aware of the true and darker purpose.

Against our will, we tinkered and toiled with compounds. We experimented, researched and recorded. But to what aim? It became clear to me that it was not to our aid, but to our efficiency in producing more blood! The tithes do not come fast enough for them and they're always hungry for more. Ever more mouths to feed as countless more vyres are created means the need for more human blood is never-ending.

As the farmer feeds livestock to fatten our food so too the vyres seek to fatten our blood. However, this was not to be the end of the laboratory and its purpose. There was a second part for the place to play and whatever it was, it did not go well. Just today, the whole laboratory was closed down. All outward manner of its appearance has been disguised to hide its former purpose, and all my fellows associated with it have now disappeared.

With such haste and secrecy did this come about that I dare to think some rare and dangerous thing has been discovered there. Something that may put fear into the hearts of the vyres, if indeed a heart should beat for them at all.

I know they search for me, so I have hidden away. They will not rest until I am caught though. What they don't know is that I have the means to access that place again, hidden in depictions of statuesque evil. If I get chance I shall return, and learn what I can to pass on to my brothers in arms.

However, if my eyes are not the last to read this message, then I beg you, dear reader, to do what you can to discover the secrets of that laboratory. If you can, use them to incite the destruction of the vyres.

The laboratory lies in the northeast of Meiyerditch. You'll find it south of the mines, north of Trakerel's Fish Shop and east of the Skull in a Chest Inn. Myreque prevail!
