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.

First Entry
17th Zaranthyr 998 YK: First Entry Well, I think it's about time I give this a try. Ariana sent me this with her last letter; she thinks it will be good for me to try to get my words down on paper. To work through what has happened over the past years. I...

19th Zaranthyr 998 YK: The Western Devastation Well here goes. I'll start with my first tour all the way back in 983 YK. I was 11 years old the first time I went on tour with Dylis. There wasn’t anyone I trusted more than them, they were the father ...
12:50 pm - 01.04.2020The Bonds of War
[h1]5th Olarune 998 YK: The Bonds of War[/h1] I learned a lot over the years of campaigning; from many colourful, and interesting people. None have topped the lessons I learned in my time serving alongside the warforged of Cyran’s military. Their s...

[h1]14th Olarune 998 YK: Horrors from the North[/h1] Eight years. It seems a century ago... Despite how many years had gone by since my very first taste of war, I had seen relatively little in the way of fully drawn battle lines. Cyre had been fightin...
01:41 pm - 03.04.2020The Mourningstar
[h1]19th Olarune 998 YK: The Mourningstar[/h1] I’ve been putting off writing this particular story for some time now… but perhaps, on the eve of the Day of Mourning, it would be appropriate. My memories of years past are fuzzy, unfocused. I rememb...

Dilys the Weaver - a half elven entrepreneur who lived a comfortable life despite the war. Led a unit of soldiers during he war paid out of his own pocket, the Purple Stalkes. Terfel's father, Howel Glas, was a member of this small unit from the outset of the war until his death at the third siege of Korn. After Howel's death Dilys supported Howel's widowed wife and newly born son in their estate of Maplevale, just outside of Making. They became a mentor, and a father figure in Tefel's life, until the Mourning. Terfel has had no news on Dilys who was somewhere in the north on the Day of Mourning.
Halaema Glynrel - Blood of Vol Seeker who introduced the religion to Terfel in New Cyre

Terfel believes that his mother, Meilyr died on the Day of Mourning but has never received confirmation. His wife, Ariana, on the other hand is alive and well. She is with their son, Llyr, in Q'barra on a diplomatic mission on behalf of Prince Oargev. Terfel, and Ariana and Llyr have not seen each other in a little under a year, though they have kept in contact.

Father - Howel Glas (Deceased)
Mother - Meilyr Glas (Lost during the Mourning)
Spouse- Ariana Glas (In Q'barra)

Religious Views
For the majority of his life time Terfel has always held faith in the Sovereigns. He trusted their guidance. When the Mourning happened however, he lost faith in them. They either willfully guided everyone toward the Mourning, or failed to stop the Dark Six. Whatever the reason, they are no longer worth of his faith.
For a long time after the Mourning, Terfel was lost and directionless, but preachers and missionaries from all faiths found their way to the hopeless refugee camp of New Cyre. It was with one of these preachers that Terfel found new hope, within himself. Halaema Glynrel, a Seeker of the Blood of Vol showed him the truth of the gods and the path of the inner-self. Since then, Terfel has taken much of this faith to heart and has come to believe he needs to become the champion his people need - to be an example they can follow and allow Cyre to live on. He holds the hope to show each of them what they can do should they believe in themselves rather than in the falsehoods of the gods.
