Player Handout 1

Dear friend of the Empire,

Warm welcome and many thanks!

I thank you for your assistance in preventing the act of terror against the Empire and her guests. I find that one of my friends - the man who delivered this letter - is in need of your services once again. Apparently the group of Strangers who recently came into Sang-Du are being escorted to the capital for a meeting with the General’s advisors. A group of demon-cultists has taken it upon themselves to arrange an ambush of the Strangers sometime after this meeting. While the soldiers of the Empire are capable men, oracular visions have led my friend to suggest that your presence in Zhuan will be vital to the Empire.

To explain your absence here and your trip to Zhuan, and to save face with the soldiers of the Empire, my cousin, Doo Zia Co, is getting married in Zhuan in a few days. He is in need of wedding guards and I believe that you can be trusted in this task. If you will do this for Zia I am also sure that he will find a suitable reward for you. This will also allow you to be in Zhuan if the need arises for your capable service to the Empire and people of Haina.

Many thanks,

Doo Lei So
