Khepri's Letter

Lady Khepri, Lord of the Town of Oathes, Conqueror of the Oasis States, Scorched Prince, I write to you with news about our favour. You asked me to find information and information I have found. Meripe is in the Oasis States. She was there to study some plants taken from an oasis which bloomed golden and gem-like. I believe your paths almost crossed. However this is where doom touched her. Your involvement in that town sparked a, shall we say resurgence, in those seeking to destroy you. I am told Meripe sought to write to you but was discovered. They now know you two are entwined and hold her as ransom against you. She is held in Mendes, the city of your birth. The Lady Raii has many guards upon her and will undoubtedly set forth many a trap. Take great care if you go to seek your love. I am not able to send forces to support you, especially now the city of Mesnet has begun an attack on Saro. If you consider our favour ended with just this information then I thank you but I am not fully satisfied that I cannot send support to you if you wish to walk into the danger you see before you. I would caution you to wait, but I know what that would mean for Meripe, and that such a thing cannot be asked of you. Go in Victory Lady Ayda, Lord of all Kamo, Descendant of the High Lords of the Kingdom of Thrace, Watcher at the Gates of Darkness
