An urgent plea for assistance

Dear Father,
 
I hope this letter finds you well. I do not know what news of the Academy has reached you through other means, but things are happening here that do not bode well. There have been incursions by infernals, a battle with the sky father (you should see the staff I am making from the greatsword of a knight I helped slay in battle!), and now fey courts are holding some sort of games within the Academy as well (I have been teaching myself to craft with cold iron, so that I can stop them from distracting me from my studies). Some students have even abandoned the Academy, believing it safer to go elsewhere. I have also heard that Academy representatives recently tried to step in to try to defuse the worsening tensions between Brontha and one of the lesser tribes, but rumors of a coming war continue to grow.
 
With so much of our family's legacy tied to the Academy, I feel we have a duty to aid the Academy during this trying time in any way we can, lest our family name be tarnished for doing nothing as the Academy falters. Perhaps you could call a meeting with the other chiefs and have a delegation of specialists sent to bolster the Academy's ranks, or to provide additional counsel. It would be a great opportunity to show the world the strength and cunning of our tribe, and your skills as a leader.
 
The Academy acts a beacon, drawing the schemes and ire of the demonic imperium away from our people and the other tribes. If it falls, then it will not be long before the other tribes begin to fall as well. In a few generations, the Guluar may be the last free civilization left, and though I don't doubt that some of us will be able to survive such a future, that is likely all we would be able to manage. Please do not allow such a future to befall your progeny.
 
-Neodym
