Letters

Lady Elvenia Summervine,

You cannot dance politic among the mindless drones of the Golden Order and hope to see our Lord's infinite presence. You must prove yourself. You must give yourself completely to him. You must give him everything you have. Your soul. Your future. That which you hold most dear must be his.

On Demon's Night, you must give this of yourself to Ibraxus – you and your soft-skinned "friends".

Kaleven and Oshi shall aid you in your journey. They know the true path.

I sent word to Skrathe, the Lord of Below. Though misguided in his attempts to restore the Nameless King, he and his followers may be of use to us. Woo him with your noble charms and convince him we seek the same goal. Give him the location of his precious blade, Duskfire. It lays hidden in the vaults of Heart's Splinter in the fallen city of Sunken Revvia. In return, seek the commitment of his Knights to uncover the paths to the Blackfire Braziers.

Regarding your foolish attempts to dethrone the queen and replace her with her estranged sister, Atretha Aventus, worry not. Rumors whisper that a Sister of the Red Rose already has the queen in her crossbow's sights and plans to place Lady Atretha on the throne as her puppet. Let that plot play out as it will – it matters not to us.

While you dally in useless tea parties and vomit forth small talk, I acquired the Staff of Servlyn and learned the location of one of the three Blackfire Braziers. I trust Oshi with the locations of these three braziers – send your mercenaries and scouts to locate them so I might make my journey to them, alight them, and acquire the Key of Worlds.

With it in hand, our lord can enter this world and show them what a true king looks like.

Irithain of Choul
