Dear Raven Shield friends,
This letter is only for when something very unfortunate happened to me, and I’ve either passed on to another life or disappeared in some way or another.
First of all, I would like to thank each and every one of you, for the companionship, friendship, comradery, and enjoyment I’ve had in this short time together. My previous life was full of dishonesty and betrayal and in my new life, in Heaton, you guys made that change. You have shown me what trust and honesty can do for a group of skilled individuals. And that if we put our minds to it, we can achieve everything in our dreams. I just hope my dreams came true.
My biggest regret is leaving Aryan Whitgor behind in Val Ossus, on the Night of the Hidden Blades. His family was killed and I wasn’t able to stop his capture and fled the city with my tail between my legs. I can not ask of you to put Aryan on the throne again, I only wish that you see for yourselves and decide what’s best.
In case you still have my body, I would like to be incinerated and my ashes spread out in Val Ossus while having our national anthem played.
On a sheer peak of joy we meet;
Below us hums the abyss;
Death, either way, allures our feet
If we take one step amiss.
One moment let us drink the blue
Transcendent air together—
Then down where the same old work's to do
In the same dull daily weather.
We may not wait . . . yet look below!
How part? On this keen ridge
But one may pass. They call you—go!
My life shall be your bridge.
SILAQUI
I have not yet found a suitable gift for you, unfortunately. I had a book that seemed perfect but I lost it at the end of the heist. Hopefully, I can bring something back for you after my trip to the sea cave I’m about to do. I hope your future will be a lot brighter and I know there will be a suitable solution. We have heard of this great inventor in Aregrionno. There is also your increasing magical powers. If there is anyone of us I look up to and envy it is you with your knowledge and powers.
NOVA
I have borrowed your Cloak of Elvenkind, I hope you can forgive me for that. At least it will get back to you now. I know not when you will wake up, but I do know that you will. The light in your heart is too strong to be extinguished. When you wake up I hope you will find your path to your home and your god. I have seen the works of all kinds of higher powers but your connection feels kind of different, more unique. I regret not seeing what happens next. Hopefully you can get in contact with me when I’m up here. I will mis your optimism here.
SILVAYN
I will offer you my Mockingblade, I know you don’t use weapons for your own reasons. I respect a man with such self-discipline. I by no means want to force you to pick up a weapon again, but I hope this will remind you that: “The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.” I know you have your heart in the right place, I just hope you find it in time. If you want a place more suitable than the stables, you can use my room.
LUCIANO
For you I have a tool of truth, as the newest recruit, I hope this will help you blend in better with this ragtag group of adventurers. I don’t know you very well yet but what I know, gives me a lot of faith. I don’t know what brought you here to Heaton but I hope you find what you are looking for.
LORENZO
You seem like the animal-friendly type and as you don’t have a horse yet, I would like you to take good care of Nero. And unless someone would like to have my obsidian dagger, I would like you to dispose of it. I got nothing but nerves from fey after everything that’s going on with Silaqui and the looming deal with Nova.
GASHA
Please give everyone a good glass of your finest spirits. I thank you for all the support you have given and give continuously.
BRIXOM
Inform him, he will know what to do.
My final message for you all is as follows,
“Life is a song – sing it. Life is a game – play it. Life is a challenge – meet it. Life is a dream – realise it. Life is a sacrifice – offer it. Life is love – enjoy it.”
