Cronos' Letter to Fire Mages
A letter from the Water Mages to the Fire Mages.
Most esteemed Master Corristo,
Saturas, venerable Master of the Mages of the Circe of Water, wishes to request that you join us in ensuring that the tensions between the Old Camp and the New Camp are kept within bounds that are beneficial to both sides. Since you are the one seeing to it that His Majesty, King Rhobar, receives his monthly delivery of ore, it is in your interest as well that the activities of the New Camp's bandits be curtailed. Furhtermore, it is in our interest that no steps be taken on the part of the Old Camp which might endanger our endeavor to eliminate the Barrier.
Awaiting your swift reply, / Cronos, Keeper of the Ore
Sealed Letter
Most esteemed Master,
We received your last message with great concern. We held council and now, through this letter, inform you of our decision. The Brotherhood poses a danger. First and foremost to the further course of our trade agreement and thus to the king, the entire kingdom, and also to your life. Therefore, the most sensible step to take next would be to send out scouts and investigate upon which gods and upon what knowledge their magic is founded. Once you have uncovered this, we will acquaint the priests with your findings, so that together we may bring an end to this nuisance. Right this moment, the scholars are studying the ancient tomes. We will inform you immediately of any new discoveries by the usual means.
May Innos protect us.
Opened Letter
This letter once had a seal but the seal is broken.
Most esteemed Master Xardas,
We received your last message with great concern. We held council and now, through this letter, inform you of our decision. The Brotherhood poses a danger. First and foremost to the further course of our trade agreement and thus to the king, the entire kingdom, and also to your life. Therefore, the most sensible step to take next would be to send out scouts and investigate upon which gods and upon what knowledge their magic is founded. It is our duty to shatter this cult and bring its knowledge into our possession so that no one may use it to cause harm. As soon as your reply reaches us, we will acquaint the priests of Innos with your findings. Right this moment, the scholars are studying the ancient tomes. We will inform you immediately of any new discoveries by the usual means.
May Innos protect us.
