Letter to Lei

25th Olarune 998 YK

Lei,
I am sorry I was unable to reply sooner but your letters were delayed. For all it is worth, your words bring me some peace to read despite the disturbing news they describe.
 
I have always held the hope of seeing you all again... it saddens me to know our reunion will be dimmed without Jode. His spark of joy and thoughtfulness are rare gifts to find in a person. The Sovereigns made a mistake in guiding him on this path.
 
You must come to terms with what has passed if you are to keep yourself from sharing the same fate. Keep your wits about you. Daine has seen more than I fear he can handle and this may be the final loose thread to unravel him. You mention little of Pierce in your letters, is there news you can share?
 
There are many questions I have; more questions than I can put into writing, and more still that I would not trust to. For now I will say only that I will look into what I can from here.
 
As for New Cyre, we are doing well. The town has grown and the list of problems has only grown with it. For the most part things are slowly getting better, though our supply lines have been taking some hits by bandits. We’re in the process of tracking them down though I expect they may be a nuisance for some time.
 
Prince Oargev has proven himself to be competent. He fights for us, for all of us, on the world stage as best he can but time and time again the ambitions of those who would see Cyre be lost to the pages of history clash with him.
 
The Prince has placed me along with several others who have proven themselves friends of our people. I believe his faith is well placed. It is with their aid that I was able to liberate your letters.
 
I hope that my words find you safely, and that you are all in good health when they do. If you should need our help with anything, say the word and I will do what I can.
 
There is a goblin proverb I know that fits the sentiments I wish to convey khaartuuv kurar’dar mi shi morii’dar.
 
Stay safe,
Terfel.
P.S Please date your letters in the future.
