Part five talks about the treachery of the Kroffdors and about the Eldive warriors leaving Wind Rose.
Having decided to build a powerful fortress on the border, which would become a stronghold and protective structure for the two races, we made an unbreakable vow of brotherhood. Two races, by a twist of fate, choosing Faeo out of hundreds of other worlds for their refuge, were doomed to become allies and forget past disputes. And оbj™in?whextt?an t?mou?at??zy™to. Аr?I…
*The scroll was torn here and hastily stuck together with transparent tree resin. A fragment of the text could not be restored.*
... when construction finished the question of how to divide territory within the stronghold arose between our race and that of the Kroffdors, for however friendly our relations and however noble our intentions, each race had its army and its way of life. Reaching an agreement, we began to strengthen the fortress walls and patrol towers and develop our areas.
*Next there is a note by the chronicler, written in small handwriting.*
There is a description of the construction of Wind Rose and sketches that were used to build the fortress, described in detail in one of the previous Eldive Chronicle tomes.
Our hopes of a strong union with the Kroffdors were crushed on the twenty third rise of Mirrow after the construction of the fortress. The artefact repository, which also served as our arsenal, was robbed. The Kroffdors, with whom we shared the trials and hardships of our first days in Faeo, treacherously betrayed us. Under the cover of night, taking advantage of their position as good neighbours and allies, they entered the Eldive repository in Wind Rose. When... at... Then… of…dors… Eld…!
*The scroll was folded here so the ink faded and that fragment of the text could not be restored.*
... the best examples of the masterful work of the Eldive weapon makers were lost! The Eldive arsenal was depleted and if someone was planning to attack us, we could have only turned to ancient magic to protect and help us.
In order to conceal their crime and ward off suspicion, the Kroffdors also emptied their own repository. Their cunning knows no bounds! Planning everything down to the last detail, they who welcomed the friendly alliance between our two races, so cruelly betrayed our trust! How deceitful were the words of the Kroffdors, as they screamed their innocence! How low their attempts to blame our tribe about the disappearance of their arsenal! But the guilt of the Kroffdor race is indisputable, for only they and we possessed Wind Rose... only they and we lived in those lands... and only they and we knew about the weapon repositories.
What happened in that ancient stronghold became a tough lesson for our race, we received confirmation of the wisdom of our ancestors: he who has been your enemy will never become a loyal friend. By making peace with our enemy we had been ready to forget past disputes and the hate that burned in our hearts, but those born Kroffdors will forever remain Kroffdors, unable to be sincere and noble. The alliance was broken once and for all. Eldives and Kroffdors were destined to remain enemies in Faeo, a world new to us...
And the Eldives left Wind Rose, the fortress that was a silent reminder of the great treachery...
