Delvis's Journal

Delvis's Journal is the technical notebook left by Herlous's deceased brother, preserving both Delvis's engineering knowledge and the personal record that helps bring Herlous back into Sunil's struggle.

History

An engineer's inheritance

The journal reaches Herlous with Delvis's remaining effects and records the ordnance engineer's work, concerns, and unfinished hopes. Herlous allows Han Xiao to read it while the two negotiate his recruitment. The technical material gives Han access to the Ordnance Engineer subclass, while the journal's personal meaning helps connect Delvis's death to Herlous's decision to use Shattered Light and accept responsibility for Sunil's future. (Chapter 338)
