The Pariah's Journal is to be my journal alongside Stains Eternal. It is a challenge in complete independence from Skyrim's trade system, in addition to nocturnal roleplay and the no-leveling restriction. In order for my character to remain flexible, I will allow the possibility of these being dropped if it becomes necessary, which I doubt.
And so, my third entry into the BIGWooly hardcore journaling cult begins.

Pariah, you are. Pariah, you will always be.
They fear you, as do you them.
Pariah.
This is the way, it has always been.
They are as you cannot be.
They are mortal, you are free.
Pariah.
Hastily scrawled below the poem's fine penmanship:
Returning tomorrow night. Patience, young mind.
