The following letter was delivered to you the day before you started your journey.
“Ambassador, we understand you will soon be traveling through the rebellious Coryani province of Valentia. As you may know, we are holding all blast powder shipments to any area of Coryan currently in rebellion. Therefore, we suggest you draw your full allotment of blast powder from our ample stores before you leave for the heathen lands, as they will likely have none, even at our beloved Temple of Wondrous Craft in Enpebyn. (This means you may purchase blast powder before you leave the location of your last adventure) Should you discover the province is receiving blast powder shipments from any source, you should report such findings immediately to the temple in Enpebyn. As always, may the Wisdom of Althares guide your steps in safety and illumination.”
