This is a writing project I undertook inspired by the trinket Vestal's Salacious Diary. I wrote a few entries from that diary as part of a project on Reddit, and I got to thinking that it would be a lot of fun to do a full run of Darkest Dungeon writing an in-character diary entry every week, developing characters for my adventurers and rolling with the punches of RNG.

Reynauld and Dismas have the canon backstories as given in the comics. Characters with randomly-generated names have broad-strokes similar backstories that I occasionally expanded on.

I hope you enjoy reading these as much as I enjoyed writing them. There are 18 chapters total that I will be posting from time to time. I intend to carry on with a sequel using the Crimson Court DLC later, as real life permits.
