My sweet Nirethil,


As a 60+ year follower of Darkness, mystery, lies and intrigue, I'm
certain you are indeed the expert of what requires thought, and
nonthought so to speak. While I may not entirely agree with my citymate
Arithorn that the Church is the font of Freedom, I do not for one moment
believe one bound by Shadow has any place to argue with him.

My love to you sweet one, and good luck with the difficulties you and
your brethren face. I'm certain 'trying' is a term to barely scratch the
surface of what turmoil the Dark Ones face right now, concerning your
Dark Father. But it has always been the way of that path, turmoil
followed by insanity followed by confusion. It seems to be the way of
the Mysterious, the Cunning, the Evasive and Misleading... or should I
call it Persuasive? Nah, I know those are the ways of the 'old school'
Darklings and ... not really you, right? No, not anymore. Right.

Penned by my hand on the 13th of Lupar, in the year 391 AF.
