There's a journal in one of the desk drawers. It's old, leather-bound and smells of ink and dirt and blood. The photos are all framed, but the frames are a bit... bulky.
There's plenty of books, mostly on business and almanacs and world geography - none of the maps are recognizable to you, but pinned to the wall is a map of the woods. Aldric's Grove is not in the center, but the woods are large. There's writing in red showing where they were planning to build and expand, planned roads- it was supposed to be a settlement to establish more trade routes through the woods.
Outside of the forest is old ruins. A cliffside overlooking the Emerald Sea.
The journal starts off optimistic on the endeavor- though illness has taken Marlene and Elijah, he's been granted permission and the resources to strike out. If all goes well, not only will there be a new trade route between Haven and Roseroot- allowing easier access to higher quality goods and medicines- but the settlement will be a much needed new beginning for many- like poor Grace, taking in another child when she's already dealing with the last of a messy divorce. If that man follows them, Aldric might punch the bastard himself. The Morais kids, too. It was a bit harder to justify them, unlike the doctor, but- they need out, too.
