Brown leather journal with intricate patterns pressed into the leather and with metal clasp on the side.

I am asura {'asura' bold}. I personify genius. My ancestors were driven from the heart of the earth, forced to live in this bright, wide world. Of course we excelled {sentence highlighted in blue}. We exceed expectations in everything {in bold} we do. With golem and gate and arcane crystal, we have asserted our supremacy in this land and made it our own. We will not move another inch - not for dragons. Not for anyone.
{New paragraph}
The Eternal Alchemy {both bold} is a fluid contrivance, ever evolving, ever fluctuating. I believe in the power of transformation. I belong to the College of Dynamics {bold}. Dynamics krewes thrive on permutation. We're always advancing. Morphing into something new. I'm the lever, and my excellent krewe is the fulcrum. Together, we will move the world. We will force reason from chaos.
{New paragraph}
I've just been informed that defective golems - not mine of course - are causing havoc out in the jungle. Whatever the imbeciles outside the city have broken, I'll fix - and make my name doing so. I'll lead the masses through the metamorphosis to an improved future.
{New paragraph}
I'm Gnom {big and bold}.
{New paragraph}
Though trouble may follow me, I overcome it with dignity. I'm a member in good standing of the College of Dynamics. {There is ink drawings of Dynamics logo on the side of the paragraph}.
My first creation was the VAL-A golem {in bold}, and one day my adoring fans will say that I have surpassed even my first advisor, Master Blipp. {Just under the logo is a quote "Your first try should never be your last especially if it succeeded. You can always succeed bigger next time" in teal color}. I'm an engineer, and you'll never find me without my panscopic monocle handy. {There is a sticky note just under, arrow pointing on the monocle, that reads "at least till I lost it in the jungle [1328 AE]"}

{In upper left corner is a date [1325 AE]}
Turns out the Inquest {highlighted in red} released a flood of hostile golems to cover up a brazen daylight data theft. With the help of Zojja and Mr. Sparkles, I defeated the Inquest agents, their golems, and the monstrous PROTOTYPE X {written with red ink}.
{Big ink drawing or Prototype X in light blue taking half a page}
Cleaning was necessary so the Snaff Prize could happen without delays. While helping out, I visited the Splorg Metamystics Lab and found an old desk with my name still carved in it.
{New paragraph, red corner symbolizing the start of the chapter}
My krewe and I presented our Massively Impressive Golem (MIG) {the name is highlighted in green} before the Snaff Prize judges, and they were suitably impressed - until the MIG went haywire and ran off. We still took the Snaff Prize, but none of us can claim the title "Snaff Prize Savant" until we recover the MIG.

MASSIVELY IMPRESSIVE PROBLEM {big in red ink}
Journal page reads:
The krewe and I used our lab's advanced machinery to track down the MIG... which wasn't too hard to find, as it came crushing through the walls looking for Kazz {highlighted in green}. We managed to calm the MIG down, but Doxa's {highlighted in pink} still fused inside. We decided to keep the MIG contained while we research a way to extract Doxa from the golem.
{Next to this paragraph on the right is Kazz's portrait in teal}
{New paragraph}
My krewe brought in a golem expert to consult on our MIG problem - Zojja {blue highlight} herself. The Inquest interrupted our research by trying to kill us and burn our lab down, but we handled them like fresh produce and bruised their tender flesh. Then we decided that since the Inquest is so interested in our work, we should infiltrate their lab and see if they have anything that might help us extract Doxa from the MIG.
{On the left of this paragraph is pink Doxa's portrait}
{New paragraph}
Kazz, Zojja, and I forced our way into the Fun house and saw some of the horrific experiments they were conducting. We retrieved the information we needed, but there's no guarantee it will help Doxa. I discussed options with Kazz and we decided that reuniting him with Doxa is worth any risk.
{New paragraph}
Despite the Inquest's continued interference, we managed to extract Doxa from the MIG. We also took care of that skunk Tego {Red highlight} once and for all. Kazz and Doxa took a much-needed break from the action, and I was awarded the title "Snaff Savant" by the rest of the krewe. I think I also impressed Zojja, as she promised to keep an eye on me and my progress from here on.
{New paragraph}
All in all, not a bad day. {Big and bold}
{Red corner symbolizing the end of a chapter}
Around a month ago I started this huge project to turn our in-game story journal into a physical thing. Written by hand, with ink drawings, and even notes from future self.
Big thanks to Anet writers for writing these chapter summaries.
