Olam survived the first few days, protected by his armour, while his fellow [[Harpers]] fell to the curse and rose as [[Shadow|Shadows]]. He hid and set up [[trap|traps]], with the company of his [[familiar]], Corvin. | Olam survived the first few days, protected by his armour, while his fellow [[Harpers]] fell to the curse and rose as [[Shadow|Shadows]].

On the fifth day, Olam set out to search for artefacts or [[scroll|scrolls]] in hopes of finding ways to ward off the [[Shadow Curse]], as well as any other survivors. For the next weeks, his search leads him to finding books, scrolls, and artefacts, but none of them useful in protecting against the curse. Olam mentions hearing sounds from the [[House of Healing]], but does not enter as the source of those were {{Cond|Shadow-Cursed Undead}}.

Eventually, on his third tenday in the Shadow Curse, Olam made his way into the [[House of Healing Morgue]] where he continued his research. During his last hours, he summoned his familiar Corvin for comfort and affection, despite the Shadow Curse tormenting the two of them. Olam would soon succumb to the Shadow Curse, leaving behind [[Olam's Journal|his]] [[Research Notes (House of Healing)|journals]] and his {{Cond|Shadow-Animated}} armour behind. | Eventually, on his third tenday in the Shadow Curse, Olam made his way into the [[House of Healing Morgue]] where he continued his research.
