This appears to be Liza's journal. Surely a peek at a random page or two wouldn't hurt?

Month One, Day Twelve, Year 1332 of the Fourth Age
Just after dawn this morning Cassius petitioned me for records detailing recent burials in the local graveyard, no doubt to assist with identifying recently raised undead.
While I sympathize with the nature of his request, recent burials are a matter of public record. Must I really fetch documents he himself could very well procure without any difficulty? Sometimes I feel like a glorified librarian...

Month One, Day Sixteen, Year 1332 of the Fourth Age
His majesty insisted on a "rare feast" for this eve's soiree, and so it falls to me to cross reference every single tome in the royal archives for mentions of "poached yabby deluxe" and "thrunk surprise". Just how in the spheres does he expect this to be done in a mere day?
Not to mention poor Ms. Linzer has to cook all of this, taxed as she is. I, of course, plan to carry out my duties with great efficiency as always, but I seriously question whether or not our guests this evening would even appreciate the difference between a poached yabby and a boiled one, let alone one prepared with a recipe afforded the accolade of "deluxe".

Month One, Day Twenty, Year 1332 of the Fourth Age
This morning I was abruptly awoken by Farmer Ryskamp, who was beside himself with panic. I had thought some manner of horrible tragedy had befallen him (a bandit raid, perhaps) only to be told that his prized chicken, Eggbert, had "lost their favorite toy".
I had half a mind to simply return to what little rest I could afford myself, yet Barnus insisted I "mobilize the guards" and "order a search party at once".
The question of how he even managed to get inside my bedchambers at that hour aside, I reluctantly accompanied him outside the keep to speak to the quartermaster, just as the lovely Ms. Trappe had been hauling in her first catch of the day.
Sedna agreed to look into the situation for me, and spheres willing, it will be the last I have to hear of this ridiculous matter.
The next few pages seem to carry on in a similar manner...
