Consul Mour,
I hope you are feeling well. Your daughter is, too, for now. Elaine will stay in this condition if, and only if, you have those in your employ fulfill the requirements set upon them to the letter. There will be three tasks. The first task, which is simple enough, is to deliver the message contained in this sealed envelope to a hermit that resides in the tunnels beneath the city. A map is enclosed to show the path to reach his hideaway.
Details of the remaining two tasks will be given en route.
Your cooperation, and the cooperation of those in your employ, is crucial if you ever want to see your daughter again . . . alive.
