| Chapter | Diary Entry | Date of Entry |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | "To be perfectly frank, what has happened these last two months is upon my head. The death, destruction, loss, and pain are my burden. I should have seen it coming. And I should have stopped it." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 2 | "Our first clue was the Parshendi. Even weeks before they abandoned their pursuit of the gemhearts, their pattern of fighting changed. They lingered on the plateaus after battles, as if waiting for something." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 3 | "Soldiers reported being watched from afar by an unnerving number of Parshendi scouts. Then we noticed a new pattern of their penetrating close to the camps in the night and then quickly retreating. I can only surmise that our enemies were even then preparing their stratagem to end this war." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 4 | "The next clue came on the walls. I did not ignore this sign, but neither did I grasp its full implications." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 5 | "The sign on the wall proposed a greater danger, even, than its deadline. To foresee the future is of the Voidbringers." | Jeseses 1174 |
| 6 | "We had never considered that there might be Parshendi spies hiding among our slaves. This is something else I should have seen." | Jesesan 1174 |
| 12 | "Unfortunately, we fixated upon Sadeas's plotting so much that we did not take note of the changed patter of our enemies, the murderers of my husband, the true danger. I would like to know what wind brought about their sudden inexplicable transformation." | Jesesach 1174 |
