Editing Stranded in fantasy (section)

==Journal Entry 228==

I got my rest and went out with Avery and Marcus... and Marcus' girlfriend.  We paid a visit to the peace and love church.  Well, it's a peace and love... for money church.  We manage to get into their city archives and start peeling through them circa 400 years ago.  We run into a problem; since the city was elven at the time, so were all the documents.  Well Marcus's girl can read elven so suddenly she's important to the cause.   Well, 400 years ago, a huge group of a hundred or so people showed up, led by a group of eight, purchased land in the city and started paid construction on the church buildings.  There were complaints from the elven builders because the design was extremely unusual to what they were used to building, having buttresses, vaulted ceilings and domes, so it was being overseen by one of the travelers who got things under control and brought in several innovations such as a new kind of crane system that could handle heavier loads, scaffolding and a new kind of mortar.  For the longest time, the churches were the tallest buildings in the city.  The techniques were adopted and used in further city development to make Aeyllin what it is today.  Most of the churches use the same style so this spread around all the major cities at the time.  There's more to it than that.  As we were taking a break, Marcus's girlfriend pointed out something similar to what we were looking for.  A thousand years ago, the elves suddenly moved from the woods and founded Aeyllin, started using the quarrying techniques that they're still using and began making paper.  They didn't have regular contact with the rest of the world at the time.  If I remember right, that's around the time Wolflake was being founded and when most people believe that the massive bridge that Rosenbridge is sitting on was made.  If this means what I think it does..  I have a headache now.
