Dearest uncle Hwolf,
It is so pleasant to me to discover that despite our many differences,
we are in full agreement about the architectural beauty of Shallam. It
is a very lovely city. There is only one thing I found to mar its
beauty. Somehow, in all my wanderings there, I failed to discover a
single shrine to Lord Sartan. Now, I know the Shallamese to be
kindhearted and accepting people, so I am sure when the Infernals
re-establish themselves in Shallam, the people of the city will most
gladly tear down a few of the shrines to Lord Pentharian to make room
for Lord Sartan. After all, the warm relationship between the Divine
Brothers has long been known throughout Sapience.
And you will of course never have to worry about having your rights as a
guildmaster challenged there, for the Shallamese guild charter, I do
believe, will gladly reveal you of your responsibility in that position
and replace you with someone who can keep things going while you take a
long deserved rest.
But perhaps some of your guildmates still possess an ancient dislike of
Shallam? It's quite a shame, really. Well, there's always Hashan. Except
interestingly enough, last time I checked (and you must forgive me if I
am wrong, I do not claim to be up to date on such intricate musings as
the opinions of the Divine), the Triad of Hashan showed no desire to
become a Quatrid. (That means four, not three, just to save you a trip
to the dictionary).
Hmm. That is rather troubling. Then again maybe having Lord Twilight as
patron would better suit your guild interests than Lord Aegis? I'm
somehow very sure that the orders of Darkness, Moon, and Dreams would
not be receptive to shrines of Evil.
Dear me, I seem to be running out of options to suggest to you. Perhaps
Cyrene? I know little of the workings of the city, unfortunately. But
they have excellent cafes, and great entertainment. Then again I'm not
so certain how much the honourable Runewardens will wish to adjust to
make rooms for your shrines. Might have to take down a few to Lord
Pentharian once more.
Well, if it all fails, there's always Shastaan. Oppressed as you all
are, I'm sure the guild would be more than happy to settle down to a
life of free fishermen. And just think! You can kill anyone who tries to
bash you!
Ah, I did veer off the topic of architecture. I mst bid you a fond adiu,
then, dearest uncle.
Your loving niece,
Silverstorm Saer'rac, one of those evi.. tyrannical Ashtanites
