Letter In Infernal Script

The Dark Sun shines upon you. I was injured to learn of your nephew's demise and wish to send my condolences to you. He served the Thrice Crowned Lord faithfully in his dying breaths. Though he ultimately failed in his mission, he died as we should all hope - with deception on his lips and his heart fully devoted to the One True Way. Let us continue our crucial work to the glory of Cyric in celebration of Malus' sacrifice.

Letter in Dradke's Handwriting

How much longer must I wait for you and your god to hold up your end of the bargain?
For months I have worked to put the mechanisms in place to supply you with the gems you require and have received no assurance of my the reward from my efforts from you or the whispers of your patron.
You have received nothing but my loyalty and dedication to ensure your projects stay on track, but what of the coin which is supposed to be flowing into Avraathe? I have put in place the laws and forces necessary to isolate Avraathe and make her dependent upon the church, but the church must be able to rise to meet the occasion, which is only possible if I receive the agreed upon compensation for our raw materials and services.
I must insist your payment, both in coin and the promises made to me, should be made manifest immediately if you wish for my dutiful work to continue. Otherwise, I wish you the best of luck finding these precious gems anywhere outside of the Mines of Avraathe.

Letter in Malus' Handwriting

Uncle,
I hope this letter finds you in good health. I wished to thank you for the surprise gift which arrived early this morning. The ring is beautifully crafted and I find it familiar and comforting already, especially knowing we will now have a matching pair after I admittedly admired yours when we last met.
I, of course, cannot wear it around these members of the Feathered who so foolishly follow my lead as if I too worshipped their lesser Regnela, but I will keep it as a treasured reminder of the One True Way in my personal quarters until such a time as I can reveal our greater purpose. May your important work continue uninterrupted and to the service and benefit of the Dark Sun.
Your nephew,
Malus

A Second Letter in Infernal Script

Expect your guest delivering the Avraathian artifact to arrive within the next two days. I have confirmed he has successfully escaped the surface and will join you in Blingdenstone shortly.
Send him to Silverymoon when his task is complete and instruct him to begin setting up operations for gathering and delivering artifacts of substantial worth or power to the previously used drop spots north of the city. Have one of your faithful pick them up and disperse them as you would the gems. Feel free to keep anything which you find useful so long as it wouldn't be better served joining the rest. I trust your discretion in the matter.
