Dear Kith,
 
I know that you are stubborn, sister, but it has been months. Will you please write back to me so that I know you are well? Lindal at least responds to my letters, though they are full of reproachment. I understand that you cannot understand why I had to do what I did, and I do not expect you to; despite being siblings we have lived very different lives. Papa has not been the same since mother disappeared, and the man he has become is not someone that I can truly consider to be my father.
 
But I am still your brother. And I miss you, Kith.
 
I have recently arrived in Highland Rim on the search for Rynwin, the acclaimed jeweller. I had heard that she was secretly hosting a silver-working class in the city, though I confess I have yet to find it. I’m sure that you think that I only have nefarious intentions now, but leaving home doesn’t mean that I’ve stopped aspiring to be a jeweller, only that I have outgrown Newbarrow, just as you did when you left for Insmere.
 
After Highland Rim perhaps I will head South and visit you in Insmere. Or perhaps you could meet me halfway. Or perhaps you will ignore this letter in its entirety and continue to pretend that I do not exist.
 
Your brother, always.
 
Lucky
