Hail Good Queen Nelina,
Ruler of All Dasarian Lands, Baroness of Dasar, Marchioness of the Lendose Marches, Knight of the Fist

Templar Kurich e'Marduk the Crusader, Captain of the Queen's Guard

I humbly ask permission to meet with you at your earliest convenience. I wish to discuss matters of importance to our continued safety, and seek clearly to accomplish specific duty under the banners of the Kingseekers, and the Kingdom of Dasaria.

If your majesty is willing, It is time to speak of the Drow, the Duergar, and the hidden cracks into that land from which they come. We have enough enemies to contend with above ground, and must locate and barr the arrival of more enemies from below.

I may be reached at the construction sight of the Tower of the Sword.

Humbly,


Holly

Holly Fortinbras,

You may meet us at the Palace this evening. (8:00 CST) If you see R'ekaan please bring him as well.

Holly carefully refolded and sealed the fine parchement. She kept all of her letters in a lockbox within the tower of the Sword, lest they be stolen, or forged through unseen treachery.

The young lady smirked as she exited the Tower and walked into the street. She was covered in dust, and her hair was unkempt, however she was glad to have a reply with such haste. Holly knew that the only way she could ever see Re'kaan was if Re'Kaan permitted it. Such was his skill with shadows, necessary to the maintaining of the light. Holly was glad he wore the Kingseeker brooch. He had always been a trusted ally, as were all those who took that vow.

She covered herself with her cloak, hooded it, and walked towards the palace in the torchlit sunset. Holly would say her dusk prayers along the way.

My thanks for your recent acceptance of my request, and for the honor of conversing with your majesty, and the noble Templars.

I also wish to tell you that the Tower of the Sword is ready for our occupation, and we are proceeding thus. We invite you to grace us at your Majesty's liesure. The gifts of your Majesy's craftsmen and artisans, geomancers and builders can never be repayed, save by loyalty to Dasaria. Ever shall we seek to make good on that debt.

It is an honor to serve so benevolent a ruler, and so noble a Kingdom. We are proud to be Dasarian and Kingseeker.

May Utu keep your days ever warm.


Humbly,


Holly Fortinbras
