This letter is sent to player characters who have the Attacker of the Enclave certificate or other certificates that would mark them as hated by (or at least enemies of) the dwarves of Solanos Mor. It is written in Low Coryani.
Sell-Sword,
Your name is one that has become known to me for obvious reasons. Although you have not been a friend to the dwarves of Solanos Mor in the past, I nevertheless write to you with a request. Perhaps you will see this as an opportunity to regain some of the goodwill that you have lost as a result of your past deeds. Perhaps you will see it as an opportunity to thwart my people once more. I care not which so long as you at least hear me out.
My men and I are stationed at the far southern end of the Emtazi Empire of Coryan. Perhaps you heard of our march here following the Battle of Enpebyn. We have remained here for a specific purpose, despite the despicable attack upon our home Enclave just a few scant months ago. The fact that we are still here and did not return to help defend Solanos Mor should give you some idea of the importance of our mission.
I am not at liberty to speak of that mission in such an insecure fashion as this simple letter. Suffice it to say that there are things in need of doing, but which my fellow dwarves and I are not in a position to undertake. You are no stranger to unsavory deeds, and though what I would ask of you I do not consider unsavory, nevertheless I am not at liberty to perform certain tasks and so I turn to adventurers such as yourself who are not encumbered by my duties. I would ask that you journey to our encampment so that I may speak further to you. My men and I do not lack material wealth, if such be the price of your assistance.
I swear to you by Illiir that this is not a trick or ploy to harm you and that our purpose here is not to aid or hinder either faction in the ongoing unpleasantness that now besets the Coryani Empire. Indeed, were our purpose to be fulfilled, I believe that some of that unpleasantness might well be lifted, and surely none would argue against that.
Enclosed with this letter you will find a map and descriptions of specific landmarks which should be sufficient to enable you to find us. I have enclosed a token with this letter that will enable you to alert me whether or not you intend to come. Simply speak the phrase “I accept” or “I do not accept” and crush the token, casting the dust into the air. It will find its way to me and so I will hear your reply. Should you decide to come, I would ask that you make the journey as quickly as you can.
(signed) Harthal Mormek
Commander of the Mithral Garrison of Solanos Mor
(Enclosed with the letter are an annotated map of the southern Coryani Empire, particularly the border of the Fellglade, and a small stone disc engraved with the dwarven rune for “message.”)
