General

The Unknown Scholar wrote a journal that includes an entry on The Feast of Freia, 1000 NE, about the condition of the world during the prelude to Tarmon Gai'don. The Feast of Freia is celebrated on the twenty-first day of Adar.

Because this festival is only celebrated in Illian, Arad Doman, Ghealdan, Tarabon, and parts of Altara and Murandy, the reader might assume the Unknown Scholar lived in one of those regions.

Quotes

Ravens and crows. Rats. Mists and clouds. Insects and corruption. Strange events and odd occurrences.

The ordinary twisted and strange. Wonders!

The dead are beginning to walk, and some see them. Others do not, but more and more, we all fear the night.

These have been our days.

They rain upon us beneath a dead sky, crushing us with their fury, until as one we beg: "Let it begin!" - (Journal of the Unknown Scholar, entry for The Feast of Freia, 1000 NE; The Gathering Storm, Header)
