Status Letter to the Viceroy

My father is dead. It had been nearly twelve years since I've set foot in Swannport. While I've written to my father and seen him from time to time, I didn't know he was ill. No one did. The Kindly Sisters of Harmony gave me leave to return for his fu...

"Saia Brännkvinna," the Kindly Mother said. "Are you prepared for your journey?" That's what she asked me. Twelve years in this place, training at her side and that of others both here and elsewhere. I was scared. "Everything is packed Mother." She said,...

I have a secret name. Only my birthmother and the Kindly Mothers know it. I know it as well. It is a name that was given to me when I completed my training. I honor it as my true name more any other because I earned it. I have other names as well. My f...

The Dréama are an ancient order of bards dedicated to understanding the mysteries of sound, magic, and action. Gifted musicians and singers, the charismatic Dréama Saia are all followers of Three, but especially Thon. They believe that music is the cor...

All Dréama who are chosen for the Saia path eventually have their hair bleach out to a silver color. In Fieras, this was never an issue, but in Duskhan lands we stand out. So we embrace it. Now there are many rumors to why the hair turns white. Some say ...

Seraphina calmly moved her bishop into position. “Your move my lord.” In the months since her return Seraphina had settled in to court life, including her weekly game with her elder cousin. His Excellency Lord Julius Swann. She was getting better, but...

Dear Mother Morgant, After gaining the reluctant endorsement of my plans with my mother and my cousin the Viceroy, I decided to go down to the Adventurer's Guild at my first opportunity. I walked in with a bit of wonderment as I'd never been in such a ...

Dear Mother Morgant, The Gods are quite mysterious, but they teach lessons to us all in their own time. These last two days I've been clever, persuasive, classy, cheerful, helpful, and complimentary. I've also been lost, frightened, burned, panicked, p...

Dear Mother Morgant, I am honored to write you this day to acknowledge the arrival of Saia Daria. She contacted me after a successful investigation of the theft I had been speaking about. I will send in a follow-on letter with details, but let me say t...

[In Daria's Book] To Saia Daria, I send greetings and a question, My sister, we have encountered a strange set of events that I ask your guidance on. As you may know, an earthquake hit Swannport and the surrounding area. We have been asked to invest...

[In Daria's Book] Saia Daria, Just to update you. We've defeated the goblin camp and captured their leader. It was a near-run thing, but better than may of our fights - only one of us was knocked out of the fight, albeit briefly. We intend to questi...

Saia Daria, We questioned the goblin boss. He knows nothing of miasma or drust, but he did indicate where the spellcaster is. The problem is that I can't sleep...

[ A sealed letter delivered to the sorcerer Matilde ] Dear Matilde, Thank you again for spending the evening over dinner. Your insight and advice on the situation to which we discussed was quite helpful and we intend to follow it. In fact, likely w...

[Writing in Daria's Book] Saia Daria, It seems that I did indeed has a chance encounter with the drust from the crater I written you about. Likely on my hands as I pulled myself out of the crater. The last few days I have not been able to sleep and ...

Seraphina was still restless. It was evening, she had been drinking a bit but not so much so she was unclear of mind. Tomorrow they had a mission of some kind, but she felt unready. Rarely had a dream disrupted her rest so much. She had sent a letter and ...

Dear Daria, I've consulted with most of my troupe and so far they show no signs of the drust affecting them. Sir Esyllt will be telling Jak. Only I and he descended into the crater. I do pray to the Three that he will be okay. Right now he deeply conce...

As Swannport appeared on the horizon, Matilda could see Seraphina up near the prow of the ship - as far as they would let her anyway. Sitting on a capstan and looking out past the rigging. It seemed Matilda was in fact earning their passage. She had in...

Saia Daria, My cousin, the Viceroy, has offered us the opportunity to take on rulership of the area between here and Strathfort, or helping bring order to the Glittergem mines, or perhaps founding our own Guild here in the city. The opportunities are a...

As the initial scouting of the colony began to bear fruit, Seraphina took the opportunity to get some time with Esyllt and discuss the future. Jak, Matilde, and Rithari were focused on the Duskhan Rangers. That left organizing the colony to Seraphina and ...

The first day out the caravan from Swannport had made excellent progress, traveling nearly twenty miles before they stopped for the night. However, the roads to the west faded to cart tracks and then to nothing at all by mid morning the next day. The lack...

To the beloved and excellent Lord Julius Swann, Viceroy of Southern Fieras; Seraphina, daughter of Lord Marcus Swann and Lady Serina Swann, and by your grace, Margrave of Livania after our late and glorious ancestor, we send greetings and the bond of frie...
