Verdini Correspondence

The Verdini Correspondence is a letter that the Dragonslayers of Cantonova found in the private office of Maria Verdini in early May Y1111. The original letter was written in illusory script and was transcribed by Madame Flora.
The letter reveals collusion between Valòmar Lona te-Morigana and the Verdini Family. It contains suggestions from Lona on how to hurt the Dragonslayers and Gepopo, Spymaster of Cantonova and longtime enemy of Donna Maria. It also alludes to Maria's liaision with Baron Scarpia of the Dreibach Empire, which seems to have played a part in the Empire's sudden willingness to ally with its longtime geopolitical rival, the Kingdom of Scalados. It is unknown what the "delivery" in the last paragraph may have been; since recent speculation ties Lona te-Morigana to the Eye and Hand of Vecna, some believe it may be either the Hand or a related item.
The Citadel of the Wild officially decries the document as a fake, and considers all claims made within inherently fraudulent.

Verdini Correspondence

Dearest Maria,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your mother. We have been trying to call upon her soul, but it seems she is unwilling or unable to return to this world. As for your suspicions on who killed her: I'm familiar with this "Gepopo." She briefly darkened the doorstep of my temple during my school days. She is a disagreeable, ill-tempered feral piglet who gives the gutters she was dredged from a bad name. You may see a little Danuvian cleric simping for your Cantonovan rivals, the Dragonslayers; he is an ex-lover of hers. Hurt him and you may hurt them both.
Thank you, once again, for your stellar work with changing the Baron's mind. Bureaucracy moves at its own pace, you know, but the treaty with Dreibach should be signed by the first of June. If Cantonova does not agree to the change of leadership come September, they can expect the armies of both Dreibach and Scalados at their doorstep. Continue to focus on swaying the will of your people, and everything shall go smoothly for us.
I received your shipment from Ramdailos the other day, and have made the necessary modifications to it. It is safely stashed away in the deepest chambers of the Taras Aïlem. Everything is prepared for you to join me and claim your prize; I leave the method up to you.
Yours in wisdom,
Lona te-Morigana
