I think Deian must know that Garmoth was defeated and has gone into hiding.
I have reports claiming that Deian might have fled to the Sherekhan Iron Mine, into Barbarian territory.
However, he must have been in a rush because he left some papers behind.
They look like they were a part of his journal.
I read through them and apparently, Deian has been hearing the voice of Markthanan...
Markthanan is also known as the Black Dragon.
He is at the Sherekhan Iron Mine, sleeping...
Most people believe that Markthanan was defeated in the Great Battle.
He survived though, and hid himself deep within the mine to recover.
Now that I think about it, it seems like the Barbarians
took over the mine in search of the same goal as Deian.

To defeat Deian, we would need to take back the Sherekhan Iron Mine...

The return of Markthanan...
No, we will not let that happen!
We must bring the Sherekhan Iron Mine back under our control...
Garmoth... Markthanan... The numerous dragons that do not exist anymore...
The spirits of the people of Drieghan who lost their lives to those dragons...
When I first saw you, it made me think.
Was it really impossible for dragons and humans to live in harmony?
Well... I do not know much about you.
It was considered a myth, kept a secret by our forefathers.
You are the descendant of a nameless Sherekhan
who was erased from the history of Drieghan.
You have the blood of the ancient dragon, Labreska,
master of the Mountain of Eternal Winter, running through your veins.
Old Drieghan erased your birth from history
but you are now Drieghan's hero.
I must look through the ancient scrolls
in order to pull you up from oblivion.
