Duke/Journals
Lagoon of Whispers journals
Duke's Lagoon of Whispers journals are a set of journals introduced in Vaults of the Ancients that document Duke's time at Lagoon of Whispers after being kicked from the Bilge Rats. In total, there are three journals.
In these journals it's revealed that Duke is learning to write, therefore errors are abundant and the text can be incoherent.

Read Duke's Journal…
No sign of Jim, that rogue! Learnt to spell two new words today. Sign and Rogue.
But it's not just him I'm mad at, it's myself. I enjoyed the money, the adventure, being in charge.
I knew in my gut that the Reaper's Chests were dodgy. That things were wrong all along.
And now Larinna is kicking me out. Maybe I should be a Reaper after all?-

The Rogue's Legacy journals
Two journals written by Duke were found on Kraken's Fall exclusively during the the time-limited The Rogue's Legacy Adventure. They were both named "Duke's Secret Journal".
Duke's Secret Journal (beach)
Found at Kraken's Fall near the west-most tip of the south-west beach.
Reckon what we've got here is a seagull chase. Nah. That's not right. A waste of time. Goose. Yes, Wild goose chase. Running all over the place looking for what Briggsy did years 'n' years ago.
Wanda (she don't like me calling her that). She's become obsessed by ole Briggsy. "Why didn't she do this?" and "Why didn't she do that?" — probly she had grog to drink! I dunno!
I can feel it in me gut. No, not the grog! Alas. It's an ill wind that blows no good. And wandering all of the Sea of Thieves like a lost cabin boy aint my type of caper.
Wanda (I not afraid of 'er!) is set on finding all these things she thinks'll make her top sea dog. Beat Flameheart, beat Ramsey. And I wants to do that myself. So I understand.
But I do know that trying to act like Briggsy to unearth her secrets is like trying to sling a hammock between two sloops for a night's kip. You'll end up sorely disappointed.
Duke's Secret Journal (mountain)
Found at Kraken's Fall atop the southern mountain, immediately east of the beach journal.
If I was tryin' to find something someone had taken someplace. I'd ask about. Like, if I fancied my tankard filled, and I couldn't see a tavern, I'd collar the nearest pirate.
"Which way to the tavern, mate?" I'd ask. And he'd tell me. Or he wouldn't, and I'd have to teach 'im a lesson! But if there wasn't a tavern, I'd ask if he had any ale on his ship.
Direct and to the point. See? Course, Amaranta pointed out the 'ole in my argument, din she? "Captain Briggsy aint 'ere, Duke," said she. "So, we can't just ask 'er can we?"
Well, now that's true. But that's the point. I reckons that actually asking Briggsy is the only way you're gonna find what she was doin'!
But I s'pose she ain't about no more. So there ya go. We've all got to run about pretending to be her, think like her. And what I think she'd be thinking is: it's past time for a pint! Reckon I've got time before Wanda gets back from Marauder's Arch.
