Factory Worker's Journal
Each journal is worth, with a bonus for finding all. I could see the towers long before I reached the city. They glittered on the horizon like tiny jewels. I was eager to arrive, but the horses were slow. It was already night by the time we reached Wroann's Gate. Up close the towers were even more magnificent - vast, bright pillars soaring into the night sky. I couldn't wait to soar with them.
 * Factory Worker's 1st Journal Entry: Mattie Thorne's Diary 1

I rented a shabby little flat in Foundation and applied for a job at Belgrave's Emporium. Those first few days were so exciting for a girl from Mistmarsh. The Emporium was like nothing I'd ever seen - so big, so crowded, so elegant! And then I heard that the Emporium was nothing compared to the shops up on Skyway. An island floating in the sky - just imagine.

My neighborhood was hardly glamorous. It was drab and dark, overshadowed by the towers. But every morning I'd take the lift up to one of the city's bright and gaudy shopping districts and look for a job. I was determined to be up where the air was clear and I cold see bustling city below me.
 * Factory Worker's 3rd Journal Entry: Mattie Thorne's Diary 3

There was a beggar on my corner, an odd man with a crutch and a scrawny little cat. He asked passers-by for coppers. One day I saw him on his knees pleading with two member (sic) of the City Watch. Some neighborhood thugs had taken his coppers and killed his cat. But the Watch did nothing. They laughed, pushed him into the gutter, and went on their way. There was a crowd watching. None of us did a thing. We just scuttled back to our homes and pretended that it never happened.

I didn't get the job at the Emporium. I didn't get the next job either. Or the next. Then I counted my coppers and discovered that in a few days I wouldn't be able to pay the rent for the shabby little flat. Someone told me that there was always work in the Cogs. And what choice did I have? I didn't have enough money to go back to Mistmarsh.

The lift went down and down, for what seemed like forever. When it finally stopped, I was deep underground. There I was, with a thousand others, ready to report for work in the Cogs. I didn't know much about the Cogs then. I'd always heard about Sharn's famous towers. I never asked about what lay underneath. Now I was about to find out.
