Letters and Missives

Postby Viviyana » Tue May 10, 2016 7:27 am

** A letter, sealed with the Iron Order crest and delivered to the cabin in the Grasslands**

Dear Melchor,

As Topaz likely spoke to you about on her recent visit, the land is preparing to retrieve those taken from us. In this we have need of your expertise in languages and translating. We will be gathering soon to study the various copies, sketchings, and rubbings made from several locations throughout the land. Among the items is an ancient arcane tome in the language of the Golden Ages. It is our hope that you will join us in the gathering as our honored guest and help to shed light on some of these findings.

If you are unable to make the meeting, we hope you will accept an open invitation from us to visit at your leisure to peruse the items.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The Iron Order



** A letter, sealed with the Iron Order crest. It is addressed to the Apprentice Mage Albertus and delivered to the Dundee Outpost. Accompanying the letter is a wooden case, containing two carefully wrapped fireworks.**

Dearest Albertus,

I was much disappointed to not have the pleasure of your company at the recent meeting between the Modus Discipula Arctane and High Queen Cordelia. I am sure you would have added great knowledge and wisdom to the conversation. We recently celebrated Miranda Turn and I couldn't help but think of you with all the fireworks. I have enclosed two such fireworks for your amusement. I know they pale in comparison to your own mastery of the element, but hoped they would bring you at least a moment's pleasure. It has occurred to me that it has been far too long since we have been graced with a visit from you, and hope to soon rectify the situation.

We have taken some rubbings of some ancient symbols from what was once the ancient city of Ryn, we will be gathering to examine them as well as the arcane tome that was recently discovered in the nexus. It is my most fervent wish that you can join us in this.

Iron Protector Viviyana


* Another letter, also sealed with the IO crest. Delivered to the Dundee Outpost and addressed to Arctane**

Modus Discipula Arctane,

In a few turns we will be leading an expedition to the Dark Fortress to examine the base, study symbols and try to locate the gate of which you spoke. We thought you might be interested in the expedition and would be glad for you to join us. If you are unable to make it we will, of course, keep you updated on any findings.

In Service,

The Iron Order.

** A letter, handed to the Royal Infrastructure Inspector who has been lounging around the Milltown Temple **

To the Royal Infrastructure Inspector,

As you have have to have heard, the dastardly demons and darkness have destroyed the Order's orderly (if outdated) outpost. We would appreciate an appointment, or assemblage, to address the specific steps deemed suitable to sort this specific situation.

**A letter addressed officially to the High Queen Cordelia, tied and sealed with the NH badge in signet form**

To Cordelia, High Queen of Valorn:

After much thought and many cycles of oppressive laws, mainly the ban on thievery, The Nocturnal Hand would like to secede from the country known as Valorn. We would establish a newly formed country: with all rights afforded an independent entity, including rulership of ourselves, diplomatic immunity (as written in the Royal Neighborly treatment laws- section 403, subsection 20), and recompense for our seasons of suffering (To be agreed upon at a later date) We would call this country 'Hand Land'. We also request that Quasha be demoted to a regular citizen for her strong ties to our now new possibly strained neighbor, Valorn. We feel this is a strong conflict of interest and we'd hate to hold her on espionage over a small diplomatic misunderstanding.

As a country we have our own culture and customs. All citizens are royalty in Hand Land. As such, to keep the peace, we ask that Valorn please afford us treatment befitting when one of our own visits: Including, but not limiting;
Freedom of movement, Hand Landians will not be barred from entering and leaving where they will freely.
An assigned servant to meet any needs we might have while visiting a strange and foreign land.
Unlimited free drinks to quench a long distance traveler's parched throat.
5% of all taxes collected in Valorn for border security.
Which brings us to border security into Hand Land. Valornians must have a written invitation to cross the border, signed in triplicate and witnessed by no less than four Hand Landians. A tithe of 1,000 plat is customary.
Valornians must present a parchment declaring their health, signed by three clerics. Those with possibly contagious or smelly ailments will not be admitted.
Journalists, therapists, law enforcement, and spies are not permitted to enter Hand Land.
Bribery at the border is not officially not condoned.

That concludes our request. Please make this happen in a timely manner, we'd hate the recompense to keep climbing.

Faithfully XOXO,
All Hand Members Not Quasha

**Delivered to the Dundee Extension and sealed with the official IO Crest**

Dearest Albertus,

I hope you and yours are well, we are hoping you can aid us in a matter of great import. We need a portal created in the throne room that will remain open for a turn. Please let us know if such is possible.

In Service,

The Iron Order.

**a tightly rolled scroll appears in Strifegorge in a puff of smoke. However, rather than dissipating, the smoke continues and the scroll itself bursts into flames**

**a while later, a terrified bird with singed wings appears carrying a new copy of the scroll.**

Hello!

I must say I was most pleased to read your message. Typically, for reasons unknown, messenger birds and boys alike tend to drop my mail carelessly into parts of my home clearly designated as fireplaces.

I am glad to report that your ol' friend Albertus will come to your rescue, with precisely the sort of scorching inferno portal you need! Assuming you survive, you will also emerge with dry robes, which is a real bonus.

Of course, I will need to hold the portal open personally for the duration, but you know the old saying: Time rushes by when you're burning things! My only request is that you encourage the women, tempted as they may be to engage with me and my incredible pyrotechnic talents, to refrain from disturbing me with their lust during this very difficult task.

I look forward to toasting our inevitable victory.

Signed,

Albertus, Apprentice Mage of Ryndall

**An elegant invitation delivered to the Great Temple in Branishor**

Dear Shamson,

I hope this missive finds you and your's well and recovered from our recent incursion. I apologize for not writing you in a more timely manner, the marcs seem to slip away from me these turns. Ellyana and I are arranging a torch lit walk of sorts from your temple steps to Miranda's temple in the mountains. Once there we will have a small ceremony paying tribute to our gods. You are, of course, more than welcome to join us should you wish.

On a separate matter, I am sure you have heard of the immense library found in the tower above Ryn. Recently, Brielle wondered if it would be studied. I recall Quarrus speaking of historians among your ranks there and thought that you or they might be interested to see such a wealth of knowledge. I am sure that if such is your wish we can arrange an escort within.

With affection,

Viviyana
